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

Early‐life temperature drives recruitment success in Eurasian perch (Perca fluviatilis) populations

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Interannual fluctuations in the abundance of young‐of‐the‐year (YOY) European perch (Perca fluviatilis) were studied in two large French peri‐alpine lakes using a 12‐year dataset of late summer hydroacoustic surveys. Previous research has highlighted the importance of temperature.

Reclaiming Relevance Through Problem‐Driven Interdisciplinary Research

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract Management studies initially emerged as an applied field, uniquely positioned to tackle practical organizational problems through interdisciplinary research. Over time, however, the field has prioritized abstract theoretical contributions over real‐world engagement, fragmenting into disciplinary silos ill‐equipped to address complex ...

Evaluation of Deviation‐Type Indices for the Joint Selection of Yield and Seed Composition Traits in Soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.)

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Seed yield and composition are major targets in soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding programmes, but simultaneous improvement is constrained by unfavourable correlations among target traits. In this study, we evaluated the potential of different selection indices to simultaneously improve seed yield and quality traits in soybean.
