Effects of complex soundscapes on the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula in isolated green spaces in Tokyo

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Urban green spaces experience a mix of natural and anthropogenic noises, which could disrupt the vocal communication of several species. This study investigated how such complex soundscapes affect the occurrence of Anaxipha pallidula, which communicates through calls, focusing on both sound level and quality.

An AI‐driven soil extractor for high‐throughput measurement of soil microarthropod taxon densities using live individuals

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Soil invertebrates play a key role in ecosystem functioning, yet their monitoring remains constrained by labour‐intensive extraction and taxonomic identification procedures. Consequently, large‐scale and high‐frequency assessments of soil biodiversity remain difficult despite increasing demand for standardized monitoring tools.

Advancing FAIR phylogenetics for health threats: a systematic review of SARS‐CoV‐2 research and guidelines for future outbreaks

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract During the COVID‐19 pandemic, the need for quick public health action often conflicted with the careful methods required in phylogenetics. To explore this, we reviewed 217 SARS‐CoV‐2 studies published from January 2020 to March 2025 in 121 journals.

Research infrastructure challenges in preparing essential biodiversity variables data products for alien invasive species

Environmental Research Letters, 2019
Essential biodiversity variables (EBV) are information products for assessing biodiversity change. Species populations EBVs are one class of EBVs that can be used to monitor the spread of invasive species.

Towards Citizen-Expert Knowledge Exchange for Biodiversity Informatics: A Conceptual Architecture

The African Journal of Information and Communication, 2016
This article proposes a conceptual architecture for citizen-expert knowledge exchange in biodiversity management. Expert services, such as taxonomic identification, are required in many biodiversity management activities, yet these services remain ...

Emerging applications of large language models in ecology and conservation science

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Large language models (LLMs) mark a major development in artificial intelligence, with potentially transformative implications for ecology and conservation science. Built on advanced deep‐learning architectures, these models can support a wide range of tasks. We reviewed emerging applications of LLMs, drawing on the wider scientific literature
