Homogenisation of Vegetation in Irish Semi-Natural Grasslands. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
A re‐survey of 12 Irish grassland sites revealed a decrease in species number and an apparent shift towards homogeneity of species diversity over the last 12–15 years. This raises concerns about management and species diversity/conservation. ABSTRACT Grasslands represent an important source of vegetative diversity and provide a range of important ...

Impact of the Redheaded Pine Sawfly (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) on Young Red Pine Plantations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The ecology of the redheaded pine sawfly was studied relative to its impact on red pine plantations. An ecological model, which formed the basis for socioeconomic analysis, was constructed.

Detection of bovine papillomavirus type 2 in the peripheral blood of cattle with urinary bladder tumours: possible biological role [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Bovine papillomavirus type 2 (BPV-2) infection has been associated with urinary bladder tumours in adult cattle grazing on bracken fern-infested land. In this study, we investigated the simultaneous presence of BPV-2 in whole blood and urinary bladder ...

The Evaluation of High Resolution Aerial Imagery for Monitoring of Bracken Fern [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The Royal Natal National Park and the Rugged Glen Nature Reserve are part of the uKhahlamba Drakensberg Park (UDP) World Heritage Site and have infestations of bracken fern (Pteridium aquilinum [L.] Kuhn).

Genes Translocated into the Plastid Inverted Repeat Show Decelerated Substitution Rates and Elevated GC Content. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Plant chloroplast genomes (plastomes) are characterized by an inverted repeat (IR) region and two larger single copy (SC) regions. Patterns of molecular evolution in the IR and SC regions differ, most notably by a reduced rate of nucleotide substitution ...

Dwelling in a post‐fallout landscape: re‐shaping and sustaining life in a former evacuation zone in Fukushima Habiter après la catastrophe : redonner forme au monde et entretenir la vie dans une ancienne zone évacuée à Fukushima

open access: yesJournal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
This article explores the activities of daily life in a village neighbouring the TEPCO nuclear power plant in Fukushima. It argues that one of the potentials of taking a dwelling perspective – a phenomenological approach to living within the ecological and social environments – emerges most compellingly within a polluted landscape.

Potential and historical Uses for bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) in organic agriculture [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
This report was presented at the UK Organic Research 2002 Conference. Bracken is considered a serious weed species, due to its toxic constituents and negative impacts on agriculture and conservation.

Evaluating the accuracy of the EcoservR toolkit for fine‐resolution habitat mapping

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 2, April–June 2026.
Accurate habitat maps are essential for monitoring ecological change and supporting nature recovery planning. We evaluate the EcoservR rule‐based habitat mapping toolkit using field survey data from Merseyside and the North York Moors, validating classifications across the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) Phase 1 hierarchy.

Forest Disturbance Drives Changes in the Functional Traits of Soil Bacteria: A Metagenomic Study of Kauri (Agathis australis) Forest Ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
This study reveals how ecological disturbances reshape the structure and function of soil bacterial communities in kauri forests, which are critical for ecosystem resilience. By linking disturbance regimes to shifts in bacterial diversity and functional capacity, it highlights the wider effects of ecosystem disturbance on soil ecological function ...

Detecting Pteridium arachnoideum and Tithonia diversifolia in a Multiclass Land‐Cover Framework in the Cerrado: A Deep Learning Time‐Series Benchmark With Spatial Cross‐Validation

open access: yesTransactions in GIS, Volume 30, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT This study presents the first deep‐learning time‐series benchmark for detecting two encroaching species in the Brazilian Cerrado: the native super‐dominant fern Pteridium arachnoideum and the invasive alien shrub Tithonia diversifolia. We evaluate 43 architectures across six families (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, and three hybrid groups) on ...
