Effects of Recreational Boats on Harbour Porpoise Swimming Speed and Surfacing Interval Investigated by Two Synchronised UAVs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study examines the impact of speed and proximity of recreational boats on the swimming speed and surfacing interval of one of the most common coastal cetacean species, the harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena), using data collected by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a key habitat for the vulnerable Belt Sea population.

Coyotes Choose Cover Over Concrete When Selecting Den Sites

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Reproductive decision‐making impacts fitness, especially in dynamic urban environments. Thus, we assessed urban coyote den site selection in Atlanta, GA. We found that coyotes made decision on both the site and structure of dens to mitigate fitness related risk and safeguard their young.

Satellite‐Derived NDVI Predicts Forage Availability in a Wild Ungulate System: Ground‐Truthing Using Field‐Collected Vegetation Biomass

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study uses three decades of field‐collected vegetation biomass data to ground‐truth satellite‐derived Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) data from Landsat imagery as a proxy for resource availability for wild red deer on the Isle of Rum, Scotland.

Development of eNA Sampling for Early Detection of Pathogens in On‐Farm Water Sources

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
We compare four water‐sampling methods for detecting microbial and viral eNA in livestock troughs and show all approaches effectively recover community profiles, supporting flexible, field‐ready surveillance of livestock pathogens. ABSTRACT Early detection of livestock pathogens is critical for mitigating risk and implementing timely control or ...

Detecting Snow Avalanche Activity Using Infrasound: Hooker Valley, New Zealand

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Snow avalanches pose considerable hazards to people and infrastructure in alpine environments. Traditional avalanche monitoring relies on meteorological data and visual observations, which can be limited in scope and timeliness. Infrasound offers a promising complementary monitoring tool by detecting the low‐frequency sound waves generated by ...
