Paradigms and Principles for Integrating Nature Technology Data: Challenges, Opportunities, and Next Steps in Real‐World Biodiversity Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We propose a set of paradigms (survey design, tip and cue, validation, consilience, interpolation and extrapolation, and data fusion) and prioritize a set of principles (metadata standards, use rights and licensing, scientific rigor, and utility) as the foundations of an actionable framework for nature technology data integration. We then analyze seven

Biology, ecology, and conservation of the Italian hare Lepus corsicanus: a review

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Italian hare Lepus corsicanus, an endemic lagomorph of Italy, serves as a critical case study in evolutionary biology and conservation. Once taxonomically debated, modern genetic and morphological analyses confirm its status as a distinct Pleistocene lineage restricted to the central‐southern Italian Peninsula and Sicily.

Large parameter uncertainty persists in soil food web models integrating stoichiometry, respiration and assimilation

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Soil food web models are essential for linking animal diversity to carbon and nutrient cycling. However, it is unclear how soil animals regulate excess carbon when nutrient availability limits their growth and how to best represent animal respiration in these models. To

Invasive insects outperform their native counterparts

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Invasive alien species cause substantial ecological damage worldwide, driving biodiversity loss and negatively impacting human livelihoods. Although invasive insects have some of the most severe impacts, the traits associated with their invasiveness remain unclear.
