Abstract Ecological forecasting is a powerful framework to predict future states of ecological systems, including species distributions and supporting proactive conservation, management, and policy decisions that exist in a rapidly changing world. Forecasting efforts span a diversity of systems and organisms, yet many ecological phenomena, especially ...

Conspicuous colouration signals venomous nature throughout snakes. Abstract Many animals use conspicuous colours to advertise their unprofitability to potential predators, a phenomenon known as aposematism. For example, conspicuous banded patterns in snakes are often highlighted as aposematic signalling of their venomous nature.

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish
Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...

Abstract The biodiversity crisis demands new approaches to describing and characterising species that can scale beyond the capacity of professional taxonomists alone. Hundreds of millions of specimen images are now openly available, yet almost none carry structured information about the morphology they depict. We present the Descriptron‐GBIF Annotator,

Using iNaturalist to Obtain Distribution Data for Idaho Amphibians and Reptiles
Historically, it has been difficult to record and share observations of amphibians and reptiles, thus limiting the amount of information available for determining and understanding changes in their distribution.

Future of edge AI in biodiversity monitoring
Abstract Many ecological decisions are slowed by the gap between collecting and analysing biodiversity information. Edge computing moves data processing closer to the sensor, with edge artificial intelligence (AI) using AI models for data processing and selective data transfer.

ABSTRACT The Australian species of the Phasmida genus Anchiale Stål, 1875 (Phasmatinae: Phasmatini) are updated to include five species: Anchiale albopunctata (Kirby, 1896) stat. rev. (removed from synonymy with A. briareus (Gray, 1834)); A. briareus Gray, 1834 (= Ctenomorpha tessulata Gray, 1835 syn. nov.; = A. austrotessulata Brock & Hasenpush, 2007,

ABSTRACT Tettigoniidae are the most diverse family of Orthoptera, with over 750 species recorded in Brazil. However, arid and semi‐arid environments of northeastern Brazil, dominated by the Caatinga biome, remain poorly studied, with most previous records restricted to Atlantic Forest areas.

ABSTRACT Introduced to Hawai‘i in 2016, Lema equestris has become a garden pest commonly reported on Solanum americanum, which is grown as a native and cultural plant in Hawai‘i and supports native vertebrates elsewhere across Oceania. Originally identified as L. solani, the species was later found to have been misidentified.
