Detecting extirpation: A localized approach to a global problem

open access: yesPLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
The global biodiversity crisis stems from a cascading series of extirpations driving species toward extinction. Addressing this crisis requires methods for early detection of extinction at local scales, where communities can mobilize conservation efforts.

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

open access: yesAnimal Conservation, EarlyView.
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 ...

Faunistic inventory of the genus Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) in Mauritius Island, Indian Ocean: Diversity and spatial distribution of species of veterinary interest Inventaire faunistique du genre Culicoides (Diptera: Ceratopogonidae) sur l'île Maurice dans l'océan Indien: diversité et répartition spatiale des espèces présentant un intérêt vétérinaire

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Four Afrotropical Culicoides species are recorded in Mauritius with suspected or historically involvement in BTV and EHDV transmission. All species were distributed all over the island. While intra‐specific morphological variations were detected, genetic analyses did not reveal any cryptic diversity. Abstract Viruses transmitted by biting midge species

Catherine de' Medici and the Forest of Orleans: Queenly Participation in Early Modern French Forest Management

open access: yesRenaissance Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay demonstrates how a gender‐informed, more‐than‐human lens can provide new ways to analyse how the role of a queen in forestry management was conceptualised by sixteenth‐century professional men. It explores these ideas as they are presented in a work published by Guillaume Martin, Lieutenant General of the forests and waterways of ...

Patterns of Composition, Richness and Endemicity of Cyperaceae Across Open and Closed Habitats in Madagascar's Central Highlands

open access: yesBiotropica, Volume 58, Issue 2, March 2026.
We assessed Cyperaceae species composition, richness and endemicity across closed (forest), dry open (dry grasslands, rocky outcrops, bare dry soils), and wet open (marshes, swamps, wet grasslands, riparian areas) habitats in Isalo National Park and the Itremo Massif Protected Area, both in Madagascar's Central Highlands.

Widespread Latent Presence of Cryptostroma corticale in Sycamore Maple in France

open access: yesPlant Pathology, Volume 75, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
Increasing drought events promote forest disease emergence, exemplified by Sooty Bark Disease (SBD) of Acer pseudoplatanus caused by Cryptostroma corticale. Across six French regions, the pathogen was detected in 13.6% of asymptomatic trees, indicating widespread latent presence that could trigger disease outbreaks under future drought and high host ...

Exploring the role of coastal structures in shaping cold‐temperate river–estuarine marsh environments

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 50, Issue 14, November 2025.
Analysis of high‐resolution UAS models and historical data reveals that structure orientation and design strongly influence sediment dynamics in low‐energy environments. Short and perpendicular structures can enhance marsh growth, while longer or poorly integrated designs may reduce sediment supply and destabilise marshes. In the St.

Modelling connectivity at a regional scale during seasonal movements of the greater horseshoe bat

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2163-2176, September 2025.
Studying pathways during high mobility periods is one of the main missing elements for effective conservation, particularly for small species such as bats. An acoustic, stratified sampling at both local and large scale provided sufficient spatial and temporal accuracy to model connectivity throughout the life cycle of bats. This framework can easily be

Leveraging Biomass Procurement to Mitigate Carbon Emissions at the Stand Level: A Case Study in Eastern Canadian Forests

open access: yesGCB Bioenergy, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2025.
The carbon emission reductions from using residual forest biomass for bioenergy remain controversial, despite its potential to mitigate climate change. This study evaluated how intensifying wood procurement for bioenergy, alongside supplying fiber for conventional wood industries, can support low‐carbon forest management.

Coupling in situ and remote sensing data to assess α‐ and β‐diversity over biogeographic gradients

open access: yesEcography, Volume 2025, Issue 7, July 2025.
The mapping of plant biodiversity represents a fundamental stage in establishing conservation priorities, particularly in identifying groups of species that share ecological requirements or evolutionary histories. This is often achieved by assessing different spatial diversity patterns in plant population distributions.
