Inferring breeding phenology and reproductive success from the emergence of juveniles in population monitoring

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 7, July 2026.
Phenological shifts caused by climate change are increasingly documented in wild populations. These events may be inferred by examining changes in population abundance and age structure throughout the breeding season, often using citizen science. However, several gaps still limit optimal use of such data.

Density‐driven bottlenecks constrain restoration of macroalgal forests

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 7, July 2026.
This single‐species and single‐site experiment provides evidence that high‐density restoration strategies accelerate mortality, suppress growth and delay reproduction, whereas low‐density approaches promote faster demographic progression and resilience. Under the conditions tested here, focusing on growth and reproductive output, rather than maximising

When invasions go unnoticed: Public perception of the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii in Europe

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1957-1973, June 2026.
Abstract Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, yet inconspicuous or “cryptic” species often escape detection and public awareness, limiting management responses. We investigated the freshwater jellyfish Craspedacusta sowerbii, likely native to China and now present on six continents, through a 22‐month multilingual online survey

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, Volume 29, Issue 3, Page 235-248, June 2026.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

His article, titled “Micro‐analisi e storia sociale” (Microanalysis and Social History), is cited more often than it is read.
