The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1255-1310, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Assessing forage mass using smartphone imagery for cereal rye under grazing conditions in Nebraska

Crop, Forage &Turfgrass Management, Volume 12, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract Managing grazing efficiency requires reliable and practical tools to estimate forage mass. Traditional methods like clipping, though accurate, are time consuming and labor intensive. In this study, two imaging tools, Canopeo and the Crop Canopy Image Analyzer (CCIA), were evaluated for their efficacy in estimating the forage mass of cereal rye
