From Crisis to Resilience: Rethinking Urban Flooding and Groundwater Recharge in Bengaluru City, India

World Water Policy, Volume 12, Issue 3, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Bengaluru, a primary metropolitan centre in India, is currently grappling with the dual crises of urban flooding and severe groundwater depletion. These challenges are driven by rapid urbanization, which has seen built‐up areas increase from 42% to 86% over two decades, resulting in a dramatic loss of vegetation and wetlands.

Network modularity analysis reveals strategies for strengthening forest resistance, recovery and resilience to disturbances

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 8, August 2026.
Our findings highlight the need to jointly consider resistance, recovery and resilience when conceptualizing or implementing forest management strategies. Our network approach identifies the bundles of manageable predictors most consistently associated with forest resistance and resilience, providing a basis for developing management strategies, while ...

RAPID: Real‐time animal pattern re‐identification on edge devices, an open‐source tool for field deployment

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2379-2394, August 2026.
Abstract Automatic re‐identification of animals has significant potential to address pressing ecological and conservation challenges through improved population monitoring, individual health assessment and detailed behavioural analyses. Although numerous computer‐vision‐based solutions have been proposed and many achieve high accuracy, most remain ...

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

Evaluating synthetic substitutes to reduce illegal harvesting and support species recovery

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Providing synthetic substitutes is a widely promoted strategy to shift consumer demand away from wildlife products derived from threatened species. Yet, there is little evidence on whether product substitution prevents illegal or unsustainable harvesting and contributes to the recovery of threatened populations.
