Oikos, EarlyView.Some prey species have evolved background matching, that is they resemble their surrounding environment in terms of colour and/or brightness. When prey populations inhabit patchy environments, they may even have evolved specialised phenotypes: each phenotype matching a specific subset of patches.

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.The jewel‐like flowers of Thismia are as rare as they are beautiful, often recorded from only a single site per species. Access to 15 populations of T. kobensis has enabled an uncommon, range‐wide assessment of morphology, genetics, and fungal partners. Our analyses showed that T.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Climate extremes threaten the sustainability of cranberry production, a culturally and economically important North American crop. This study demonstrates that wild cranberries (Vaccinium oxycoccos) harbor genetic variation that may enhance cold stress resilience when introduced into cultivated cranberry through hybridization.

Management and incipient domestication of Chamaedorea tepejilote in agroforestry systems in Mexico
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Native wild plants are key elements in addressing global biodiversity loss and supporting sustainable food systems. We investigated how rural communities in Mexico manage Chamaedorea tepejilote, a wild palm with edible male inflorescences, by combining ethnobotanical, genetic, morphological and ecological approaches.

Exploding Bridgewire (EBW) Detonators: An Example of Synergistic Multiphysics
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Exploding bridgewire (EBW) detonators are highly temporally reproducible explosive devices that require the rapid discharge of a high‐voltage capacitance to operate and so are immune to most of the accidental hazards associated with traditional electric detonators.

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Machine learning image classifiers are increasingly being used to automate camera trap image labelling, but we don't know how much ML model accuracy matters for downstream ecological analyses. Using two large data sets from an African savannah and an Asian dry forest ecosystem, we compared human labelled data with predictions from deep‐learning models ...
