From habitat mapping to deep‐sea ecosystems restoration: Conceptual and operational tools for recovering cold‐water coral habitats in two Mediterranean canyons

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.
Our study provides evidence that active restoration of deep‐sea CWCs habitats is technically feasible when guided by a rigorous, multidisciplinary approach integrating habitat mapping, ecological aspects and long‐term monitoring. The methodological framework presented here is intended to provide an operational template for designing and scaling ...

Biodiversity research requires more motors in air, water and on land

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 668-682, March 2026.
Abstract Human activities have accelerated species extinctions, driving rapid biodiversity decline. Simultaneously, advancements in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Uncrewed vehicles—drones (aerial systems) and other robots (ground and underwater platforms)—equipped with high ...

The making of novel ecosystems: A process‐based framework for measurement, analysis and application

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 3, Page 683-704, March 2026.
Abstract Ecological novelty is emerging rapidly due to global change drivers such as climate shifts, species introductions, defaunation, and land‐use transformation. These changes challenge how we assess, understand and manage ecosystems in the Anthropocene.

Aquatic Biodiversity of the Pampa Biome: Insights From a Scientometric and Systematic Perspective

Austral Ecology, Volume 51, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT The Pampa biome, in South America, covers parts of Brazil, Uruguay, and Argentina. Its main characteristic is the predominance of grassland areas. The Pampa biome supports high biological diversity and a wide variety of ecosystems. In this study, we provide a comprehensive overview of biodiversity studies focusing on freshwater ecosystems of ...

Practical and Ethical Issues in Big Data and Machine Learning Forecasts of Zambian Community Forestry Engagement

Conservation Letters, Volume 19, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
ABSTRACT Approaches integrating geospatial “big data” and machine learning will likely be increasingly used to predict conservation‐related human behavior, such as patterns of local engagement, in socioecological systems. Yet, few studies evaluate both the technical and ethical aspects of such applications.
