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

A centralised multi‐unit recording system for automated, off‐grid animal observation and environmental monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2335-2344, October 2025.
Abstract Automated monitoring is transforming ecological and behavioural research by enabling accurate, long‐term data collection and processing with minimal intervention—especially in remote or logistically challenging environments. However, monitoring multiple organisms or sites simultaneously poses substantial logistical hurdles, including the need ...

Host Evaluation: Reliance on Symbionts: A new metric for quantifying nutrient exchange in nutritional mutualisms

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 2048-2066, September 2025.
Abstract Mutualisms between autotrophs and heterotrophs that exchange nutrients are of pivotal importance in the ecology and evolution of life on Earth. However, investigation of holobiont trophic strategy (reliance on autotrophy vs. heterotrophy) is hampered by practical challenges in quantifying their diverse nutritional pathways.
