Human–wildlife coexistence and social context: Evidence from farmer communities in southern Sri Lanka

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies on human–wildlife interactions (HWI) often focus on conflict mitigation studies, thus overlooking underlying factors that influence community decisions to coexist with wildlife. To address this knowledge gap, we collected empirical evidence of how community interactions with wildlife are shaped by their social contexts.

Rewilding's technological experiments: Virtual reality and scalable narratives of rewilding in the Scottish highlands

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Depictions of rewilded landscapes reveal the underlying principles shaping the future of rewilding. This paper analyses a virtual reality (VR) model of a rewilding project in the Scottish Highlands that is advertised as a vision of a rewilded nature in 50 to 100 years' time.

Pathways to care in pinyon–juniper woodlands: Insights from Indigenous‐led monitoring and a public survey

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Conservation decisions often require navigating tensions among ecological, cultural, economic and social priorities. While debates frequently centre on single‐species outcomes, less is known about how care for landscapes may contribute to co‐stewardship.

Perspectives and behaviors surrounding planting practices in North America inform genetic conservation realities for American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius)

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
American ginseng is a shade‐obligate, North American medicinal plant that is widely traded and used internationally. To meet global demand, ginseng is cultivated in forest farms in the Appalachian region of the USA and field‐based artificial shade farms in two regions: Ontario, Canada and Wisconsin, USA. We conducted social research leveraging in‐depth

Combined effects of canola plant density and insecticide management strategies on flea beetle abundance, canola defoliation, and yield across the Canadian prairies

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Increasing canola plant density reduced flea beetle abundance per plant and increased yield, independent of region or insecticide use, highlighting its potential as a component of integrated pest management. Abstract The crucifer flea beetle, Phyllotreta cruciferae (Goeze), and the striped flea beetle, Phyllotreta striolata (Fabricius) (Coleoptera ...

Efficacy of deterrents in minimizing nontarget species consumption of bait used for attracting wild pigs (Sus scrofa)

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Evaluated repellents were effective at deterring white‐tailed deer from consuming wild pig bait piles without deterring wild pig bait consumption, although the deterrents were not effective for other nontarget wildlife. Abstract BACKGROUND Wild pigs (Sus scrofa) are an invasive species that cause environmental and agricultural damage.

Assessment of insecticide use practices in licensed pest control operators in North Carolina

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
A statewide survey of 105 licensed North Carolina pesticide operators found ants, mosquitoes, and aphids as top target pests, pyrethroids as the dominant insecticide class (68%), and limited resistance monitoring, establishing a baseline for future insecticide resistance management and outreach.

Fusion or Confusion? Assessing the Impact of Visible‐Thermal Image Fusion for Automated Wildlife Detection

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study evaluates the performances of synchronous aerial visible (VIS) and thermal infrared (TIR) imagery for detecting great blue heron (Ardea herodias) nests and individuals using a YOLO11n model. VIS and TIR images were automatically aligned using deep learning, and both early and late fusion approaches were tested.

Citizen Science for Individual Identification of Pine Martens Martes martes From Camera Trap Footage

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps generate large volumes of wildlife footage, but identifying animals to the individual level remains challenging and time‐consuming. Using European pine martens in the Forest of Dean as a case study, we assessed whether citizen scientists could identify individuals from camera trap photos and videos.
