Misplaced fears? What the evidence reveals of the ecological effects of tidal power generation

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
Marine energy (tidal range and stream/flow) is a dependable and clean power source that stands out as a compelling alternative to fossil fuels. Despite widespread concerns surrounding the ecological effects of tidal energy infrastructure, we find few of these are substantiated by evidence or long‐term monitoring of existing tidal power projects.

Calibrating an occupancy metric to monitor elusive territorial species at large scale: Application to the grey wolf population in France

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 4, October–December 2025.
As a cost‐effective alternative to abundance, we developed and calibrated a spatial metric to monitor elusive territorial species distributed over large areas. The spatial metric can provide three elements: annual maps of predicted presence, annual estimates of the total area occupied and evaluation of changes in occupancy at a local scale from year to
