Networked Exploration of Complex Systems (NEXUS): Integrating Agent‐Based Modeling and Network Analysis for Systems‐Based Human Reliability Assessment

open access: yesHuman Factors and Ergonomics in Manufacturing &Service Industries, Volume 36, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Industry 4.0 is forcing thxike Ergonomics and Human Factors (E&HF) discipline to evolve. E&HF researchers and practitioners must now grapple with features of complexity, such as dynamism, systemic emergence, and scale—features the conventional Human Reliability Assessment (HRA) toolkit is not well adapted to.

Scale of herpetofauna mitigation translocation in British Columbia, Canada

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 90, Issue 4, May 2026.
Mitigation translocation is widely used across British Columbia to move amphibians and reptiles away from development. Reviewing permits from 2019–2022, we found that more than 5 million individuals, mostly larval western toads, were relocated. Yet almost no monitoring occurs, leaving outcomes unknown.

Effect distances of road traffic noise on wildlife behaviour: A soundscape mapping approach using bird habitat selection

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1141-1154, May 2026.
Abstract Road traffic noise is a pervasive environmental pollutant that negatively affects wildlife globally. Despite growing research, quantifying the spatial extent of noise impacts remains underdeveloped. Soundscape mapping from social sciences and engineering literature offers a useful yet rarely implemented tool to depict noise impact distances ...

‘You shall not pass!’—frequent hikers' acceptance of access restrictions in overcrowded Italian Mountains

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1198-1217, May 2026.
Abstract Outdoor recreation is reported to have many positive effects on individuals and communities. However, when recreationists' presence becomes overcrowding, it can cause ecological damage to natural sites while also reducing the benefits of outdoor recreation for recreationists and local communities.

Stability in tapia woodlands amid non‐native expansion: Integrating traditional ecological knowledge and remote sensing to track 73 years of tree cover in Madagascar

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1403-1418, May 2026.
Abstract Afromontane ecosystems, characterised by mosaics of fire‐adapted grassy ecosystems and fire‐sensitive forests, are biodiversity hotspots facing escalating pressures from non‐native species, climate and land‐use change. Madagascar's Central Highlands is one such hotspot, hosting woodlands dominated by endemic Uapaca bojeri (tapia) which are ...

Geography of race and income shape spatial data gaps in two national participatory science projects

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 5, Page 1485-1498, May 2026.
Abstract Context and Need: Participatory projects where people contribute geo‐referenced biodiversity data, like eBird and iNaturalist, are commonly used tools to enhance the data collection capacity for research, management, and environmental learning. Despite their utility, demographic disparities in participation, demographic patterns of residential

From Rainfall to Rumors: Interpreting the 2024 Bangladesh Floods Through Numbers, Narratives, and Information Gaps

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract When severe floods struck southeastern Bangladesh in August 2024, competing explanations emerged. Meteorological analysis revealed that extreme precipitation was exacerbated by the Madden‐Julian Oscillation and jet stream dynamics. However, alternative narratives proliferated on social media, particularly claims that India deliberately ...

Thresholding species distribution models: Simple approaches for land‐use planning in multifunctional landscapes

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1462-1479, May 2026.
Abstract Species distribution models (SDMs) are often used to understand changes to species' distributions and their habitats under different land‐use scenarios, enabling decision makers to prioritize areas for management efforts and balance environmental conservation with socio‐economic demands on the landscape.
