Design Patterns for the Development and Implementation of Bioacoustic Deep Learning Recognizers

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This paper presents a set of design patterns for developing and integrating Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) recognizers in bioacoustic monitoring programs. Using a western toad case study, we illustrate solutions to common challenges in model development and workflow integration. These patterns provide a practical framework to improve the efficiency,

Evaluation of the visual signal in playback by territorial responses of nuthatches

Avian Research
A playback experiment is a well-established method for behavior research, especially in the study of the territorial responses of songbirds. Birds obtain information from multimodal signals, whereas only acoustic signals are provided in traditional ...

Chiroptera Personality—A Guide for Assessing Personality Variation in Bats: Ecological, Methodological and Statistical Considerations

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
This paper addresses the underrepresentation of bats in animal personality research despite their ecological importance, offering a structured guide for studying consistent individual behavioural differences in this taxon. We outline key experimental, fieldwork and annotation considerations specific to bats' unique life histories, alongside a five‐step

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Investigating the Impact of Virtual Reality Panoramas on Children's Water Safety Knowledge and Interest and Enjoyment

Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Unintentional drowning is a leading cause of injury and death among children worldwide, and inadequate water safety education is a significant contributing factor. Innovative technologies such as virtual reality [VR] have the potential to teach children about safety and reduce the risk of accidental injury.

The adoption of AI technologies and data to support workplace learning in the corporate sector: A scoping review

Review of Education, Volume 14, Issue 2, August 2026.
Abstract AI and data‐driven technologies are increasingly shaping work and skill demands, with growing evidence that AI can support workplace learning and professional development. However, research on how AI and data are integrated into workplace learning remains dispersed across disciplines, technologies and organisational contexts.

Exploring the Role of Video Playback Visual Cues in Object Retrieval Tasks

Sensors
Searching for objects is a common task in daily life and work. For augmented reality (AR) devices without spatial perception systems, the image of the object’s last appearance serves as a common search assistance.

Behavioural responses to radio‐tag attachment in butterflies: Evidence for active tag removal

Ecological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 4, Page 838-841, August 2026.
During controlled indoor flight experiments with 89 butterflies from eight tropical species, we monitored behavioural responses to dorsally attached radio tags using high‐speed video recordings. Four of 39 Morpho helenor exhibited coordinated abdominal flexion and hind leg movements directed toward the tag antenna during flight; in two individuals this

Relationship Value, Emotion, and Uncertainty Shape Conflict−Resolution Communication in a Wild Primate

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1562, Issue 1, August 2026.
Geladas combine vocal−visual signals and tactile patterns to resolve conflicts. Reconciliation is rapid, mainly aggressor‐initiated, and shaped by relationship value, risk, emotion, and audience context. Post‐conflict sequences increase in complexity with stronger bonds, greater distress, dominance asymmetries, and genetic unrelatedness. These patterns

Song Familiarity Relies on Evidence Accumulation

Psychophysiology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Familiarity judgments are thought to involve evidence accumulation, a decision‐making process in which information is gathered over time until a threshold is reached. Previous work has identified a scalp‐recorded signature of evidence accumulation called the central‐parietal positivity (CPP).
