Simulated soundscapes and transfer learning boost the performance of acoustic classifiers under data scarcity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 322-338, February 2026.
Abstract The biodiversity crisis necessitates spatially extensive methods to monitor multiple taxonomic groups for evidence of change in response to evolving environmental conditions. Programs that combine passive acoustic monitoring and machine learning are increasingly used to meet this need. These methods require large, annotated datasets, which are

Learning centres potentials for supporting NTFPS production from agroforest systems

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2020
Abstract Extraction practices of NTFPs without introducing its domestication techniques have the potential to cause the extinction of the particular product or species. Currently, techniques to domesticate NTFPs under agroforestry systems have been explored, with two examples of economically valuable NTFP commodities are Trigona bee ...

Spatiotemporal Impacts of Forest Fires on Mountain Vegetation: A Case Study From Langtang National Park, Nepal Himalaya

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
A good positive correlation was found between maximum temperature and burn area; increased temperature relates to an increase in fire activity and larger burn areas. Grassland and needle leaf forests are the major land cover types with relatively high fire frequency, likely due to flammable biomass and seasonal dryness, while broad leaved closed ...

Biodiversity and Conservation Challenges in the Alédjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo: Insights From Ethnozoological Surveys

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
The present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).
