Rthoptera: Standardised insect bioacoustics in R
Methods in Ecology and EvolutionAlmost 100 years after the dawn of insect bioacoustics, freely available and robust analysis tools and protocols are still needed. We introduce Rthoptera, an open‐source R package designed for robust analysis of insect acoustic signals.

Negative symbolism of wildlife shapes human–nature coexistence: The plight of owls in Nigeria
People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 8, Page 2734-2747, August 2026.Abstract Human–wildlife coexistence in culturally diverse landscapes requires understanding how socio‐cultural processes shape perceptions and behaviours towards conservation‐priority species. This study examines perceptions, belief‐based uses and conservation attitudes towards owls in communities surrounding six Protected Areas in Nigeria, addressing ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2295-2308, August 2026.Abstract Inadequate monitoring of biodiversity is a characteristic of conservation the world over. The potential of acoustic monitoring is compelling, although the challenges remain substantial. Effective solutions require transdisciplinary collaboration among stakeholders, a focus on open‐source development, and flexible, multipronged technical ...

Formant analysis of vertebrate vocalizations: achievements, pitfalls, and promises
BMC BiologyWhen applied to vertebrate vocalizations, source-filter theory, initially developed for human speech, has revolutionized our understanding of animal communication, resulting in major insights into the form and function of animal sounds.

Validated Sandwich ELISA for the Quantification of von Willebrand Factor in Rabbit Plasma
Biomarker Insights, 2010 von Willebrand Factor (vWF) is a multimeric plasma protein important for platelet plug formation. As part of its haemostatic role, it is released from endothelial cells during vascular stress or injury and is considered an excellent biomarker of ...

SANE: An index of anthropogenic noise levels for wildlife research in terrestrial ecosystems
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2464-2476, August 2026.Abstract Understanding the impact of noise pollution on wildlife is challenging due to the complexity of isolating the anthropogenic components from the soundscape. Soundscape studies usually employ acoustic indices that apply thresholds to isolate anthrophony from natural sounds. However, natural and anthropogenic sounds do not always conform to these

Modelling density surfaces from integrated passive acoustic and point count data streams
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2449-2463, August 2026.Abstract Point counts employing distance sampling methods can be used to accurately estimate animal detection probabilities and absolute abundances, but are difficult to implement over broad spatial and temporal scales. Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) via autonomous recording units is an efficient method for monitoring populations of vocalizing ...

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 8, Page 533-543, August 2026.Sexual dimorphism and stress‐induced stridulatory responses in Jaguajir rochae (Borelli, 1910). Females exhibited greater absolute pectinal size and higher sound pressure levels, whereas males showed higher pectinal allometric ratios relative to body size, lower sound frequencies, and shorter delta times.

Genetic Composition Is Unrelated to Song Content in a Wild Passerine
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 15, August 2026.ABSTRACT Birdsong is a key sexual signal that varies substantially among individuals and populations. Understanding whether song similarity reflects genetic similarity is central for evaluating its role in sexual selection, population divergence and evolutionary dynamics, although partial vocal learning can obscure this relationship in many species ...
