Development and Evaluation of a Low‐Cost, Semi‐Automated Camera Trap for Surveying Bumble Bee Communities

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps are emerging as a useful tool for noninvasive insect monitoring; however, it remains unclear how to lure diurnal insects to traps, how to detect them upon arrival, and how camera‐based methods compare to conventional sampling. We developed a low‐cost, open‐source camera trap to monitor wild bumble bees in agricultural fields. We found that

Listening to the City: Evaluating BirdNET Reliability and Bias in Urban Bird Community Assessments

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
BirdNET substantially overestimates urban bird species richness, but seasonal filtering and local calibration meaningfully improve classification precision. ABSTRACT BirdNET is increasingly used for passive acoustic monitoring (PAM), yet its reliability in urban environments that have high levels of anthropogenic noise remains poorly understood.

Understanding Ecological Literacy Development Types in Elementary Students

open access: yesJournal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent decades, increasing environmental challenges have underscored the importance of ecological literacy. However, limited research has examined how it develops over time or why students exhibit different developmental patterns. This study addresses this gap by identifying patterns of ecological literacy development and examining how they

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Terrestrial Isopods as Biotic Generators of Microplastics Following Chronic Exposure to Weathered Low‐Density Polyethylene

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial detritivores such as isopods and springtails play a vital role in cycling nutrients through soil ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs, < 5 mm) are increasingly recognized as contaminants of terrestrial soils, yet little is known about whether soil invertebrates themselves are impacted by consuming these plastics or if they can generate ...
