PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Large palynological collections have been built over decades and contain vital information. However, they are often difficult to access and use effectively. What is the point of having such collections if they are not fully utilizable? To solve this problem, we digitized the Smithsonian palynological collection using both light and confocal microscopy.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Brazil's diverse flora is under several threats, with many unique lineages facing extinction, particularly in biodiverse regions like the Cerrado and campo rupestre. This study sheds light on the conservation needs of Cambessedesia (Melastomataceae), an endemic genus with 95% of its species endangered, using an approach to rank and prioritise species ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Asian elephants play crucial roles in ecosystem functioning, and their interactions with plants influence above‐ and belowground carbon cycling. We tested whether their mechanically destructive foraging triggers short‐term, stress‐induced shifts in tree root exudation, an underappreciated pathway linking herbivory to belowground carbon processes.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Banana and plantain are vital for food security and income in West Africa, yet banana bunchy top virus (BBTV) threatens production. This study combined remote sensing, field surveys, modelling and socio‐economic analysis to assess BBTV spread and control strategies in Benin.

A walk in the park—Identifying healthy greenspaces using scents
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.As urbanisation accelerates globally, access to nature is increasingly recognised as vital for public health and wellbeing. We captured and analysed plant‐emitted airborne ‘scent signatures’ across Oxford's urban greenspaces to assess their potential health relevance.

Using expert elicitation to predict feral cat, Felis catus, responses to management
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.We generated estimates of lethal feral cat management success for 864 scenarios, only 71 lethal management scenarios met a population reduction target of 57%. Cat‐targeted poison baits, in dry conditions and arid areas were most successful. Feral cat management requires continued adaptive strategies to reduce cat impacts.

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.This work demonstrates the potential of the assimilation of satellite solar‐induced fluorescence (SIF) retrievals at eight‐day and 0.1° resolutions in the integrated forecast system (IFS), developed at the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), at global scale, to provide a more realistic representation of the vegetation temporal ...

Spectral characterization of plant diversity in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.How well can airborne imaging spectroscopy detect plant diversity in vertically complex agroforestry systems? We tested this in a biodiversity‐enriched oil palm plantation in Sumatra, Indonesia, using high‐resolution hyperspectral data. We calculated spectral alpha and beta diversity and compared them to field‐based plant diversity.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We combined arboreal camera trapping and non‐invasive genetic tagging to estimate group size in the critically endangered northern muriqui (Brachyteles hypoxanthus) in Brazil's Atlantic Forest. Both methods provided complementary insights into group size and demographic structure, while differing in their cost‐effectiveness and sampling constraints ...

Robotics‐assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape‐level biodiversity insights
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Deploying and maintaining sensors is often a major bottleneck in collecting rapid biodiversity data. We tested whether autonomous hopping drones equipped with acoustic recorders could collect reliable biodiversity data in Costa Rica. Using 26,000+ hours of existing audio from 341 sites, with machine learning detections of 19 bird species and spider ...
