Influence of Seasonality on Habitat use and Spatial Distribution Patterns of Tree‐Dwelling Scorpion (Physoctonus debilis) in Brazilian Caatinga

New Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 3, September 2026.
Habitat selection plays a crucial role in the survival of various animals, primarily due to their ability to identify suitable sites for development. In Caatinga regions, climate seasonality has a strong effect on vegetation, consequently influencing the occurrence and spatial distribution of diverse plant‐associated organisms.

The Dichotomies of Crisis: Different Yet Valid Realities of the Lindt Café Siege

Journal of Contingencies and Crisis Management, Volume 34, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Over a decade after the Lindt Café Siege saw a lone gunman take hostage 18 people over a 16‐h period resulting in two deaths, the decisions and actions from police and emergency services continue to be scrutinised. When such volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous events occur, they give rise to dichotomies in the perception of (i) crisis; (

A Machine Learning Framework for Assessing Systemic Societal Vulnerability to Coastal Flooding

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Vulnerability indices are increasingly used to understand why coastal urban communities experience differential flood impacts. However, they are criticised for subjective indicator selection, weighting and aggregation, which rely on researcher judgement and rarely integrate uncertainty.

UC2‐ESP: A general‐purpose framework for open‐source microscopy control

Journal of Microscopy, Volume 303, Issue 3, Page 249-262, September 2026.
Abstract Building the optical setup for investigating biological questions comes with challenges. A major such challenge is setting up and synchronizing the control of multiple hardware components such as stages, cameras and lasers. With UC2‐ESP, we present a low‐cost electronics system powered by the ESP32 microcontroller (∼$10), designed as an ...
