Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Development and Validation of Girth‐, Volume‐, and Mass‐Based Body Condition Indices for Free‐Swimming Dugongs, via Drone Photogrammetry

open access: yesMarine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 4, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Drone photogrammetry provides a minimally invasive morphometric tool to assess growth and energy reserve in marine mammals. Converting drone‐derived measurements (e.g., body width) into body condition indices (BCIs, residuals from expected body girth, volume, or mass) requires prior knowledge of normative body shape. We developed and validated

Leveraging Narrative Identity Approaches to Understand the Mechanisms and Moderators of Event‐Related Personality Trait Changes

open access: yesSocial and Personality Psychology Compass, Volume 20, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Life events have been found to elicit changes in different layers of personality, including personality traits and narrative identity. Although trait research and narrative identity research both seek to understand the dynamic interplay between life events and personality, exchange in methods and findings across both lines of research has been

Cosmic Radiation Dose‐Rates for Civil Aviation in the Middle East: Vertical Structure, Solar Modulation, and Comparison With Models

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract High‐altitude balloon measurements were conducted over southern Israel (30°35′N, 34°45′E; 850 m a.s.l., geomagnetic rigidity cutoff 10.3 GV) to characterize the vertical profiles of atmospheric ionization and radiation up to ∼35 km. Six balloon launches between October 2014 and August 2016 recorded the variability of atmospheric ionization ...
