Modelling of retinal vasculature based on genetically tuned parametric L-system [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2018
Structures of retinal blood vessels are of great importance in diagnosis and treatment of diseases that affect the eyes. Parametric Lindenmayer system (L-system) is one of the powerful rule-based methods that has a great capability for generating tree ...

The influence of rivers on seabird foraging ecology

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rivers act as vital arteries to the world's oceans, delivering fresh water and nutrients that sustain marine ecosystems. Globally, river flow increasingly is being altered by climate change and anthropogenic pressures; yet the significance of rivers to predatory marine species, such as seabirds, and the extent to which river‐related changes ...

Why do we burn? Examining arguments underpinning the use of prescribed burning to manage wildfire risk

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Managing wildfire risk requires consideration of complex and uncertain scientific evidence as well as trade‐offs between different values and goals. Conflicting perspectives on what values and goals are most important, what ought to be done and what trade‐offs are acceptable complicate those decisions.

State‐and‐transition simulation models: How can we use them to assess ecosystem condition and support nature markets

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract The world is experiencing a biodiversity crisis. Steep declines in habitat quality and ecosystem services have resulted in interest in markets to help fund ecological restoration. One way that ecological restoration is assessed is through indicators of ecosystem condition, namely, a measurement of how different a landscape is from its ...

Evaluating Satellite Monitoring of Vegetation Health With Fauna Habitat Managers in Mind

Ecological Management &Restoration, Volume 27, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT In Australia, pastoralists, not‐for‐profit, and government organisations are managing stands of open woodland to conserve threatened species' habitats. These land areas are usually larger than a cropping field but smaller than many National Parks in Australia.

Acoustic Indices Reveal Fundamental Differences in Daily Phenology of Tropical and Temperate Forest Soundscapes

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Forests support the majority of the planet's terrestrial biodiversity, and in recent years the characterisation of soundscapes has emerged as a powerful tool for understanding forest ecosystems, both in terms of ecology and for the purpose of conservation.

Testing and improving the usefulness of invertebrate indicators of multiple freshwater stressors

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract Ecological indicators may provide information about multi‐stressor impacts, but they are often applied under hidden and untested assumptions, such as the number of stressors the indicator is sensitive to, the identity of those stressors, and the sensitivity of the indicator to individual stressors.

Climate Change Increases Evaporative and Crop Irrigation Demand in North America

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 7, July 2025.
Abstract Across North America, warmer temperatures have increased reference evapotranspiration (ETo), taxing water resources. This problem is especially pronounced for semi‐arid regions with large amounts of irrigated agriculture, such as California's Central Valley.

Examining wildfire dynamics using ECOSTRESS data with machine learning approaches: the case of South‐Eastern Australia's black summer

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 3, Page 266-281, June 2025.
Australia experienced one of the most devastating and intense wildfire seasons on record in 2019–2020. One challenge is to create effective models to identify areas prone to wildfires and understand the vulnerable conditions that will lead to these catastrophic events.
