Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Direct deposition on pre‐cooled grids: a new approach to sub‐millisecond cryoEM grid preparation

Acta Crystallographica Section D, EarlyView.
We describe a new method to prepare grids for cryoEM on the sub‐millisecond timescale.There has been a rapid expansion in new approaches to sample preparation for single‐particle cryoEM. One drive has been around speeding up the process both for the application of time‐resolved studies and in outrunning some of the negative effects which may come from ...

Hemipteran vectors of stylet‐borne plant viruses: Aphids lead the charge

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Among all sap‐feeding hemipterans, aphids stand out by far as the most important vectors of noncirculative plant viruses. Compared to whiteflies and mealybugs, aphids’ highly specialized stylet anatomy and distinct feeding behaviors contribute, together with other features of their biology, to their remarkable efficiency in transmitting stylet‐borne ...

Adaptation of the invasive pest Drosophila suzukii to a specialized nutritional niche

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Unlike most Drosophila larvae that feed on spoiled food, Drosophila suzukii larvae thrive on ripening fruits and consequently face a low‐protein, high‐carbohydrate nutritional challenge. Comparisons of growth among D. suzukii, D. biarmipes, and D. melanogaster larvae across diets with varying protein‐to‐carbohydrate ratios demonstrate that D.

ESO: An evolutionary algorithm for efficient model reduction via automated frequency band selection in passive acoustic monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) is an important tool for wildlife monitoring. Deep learning, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), has become the standard approach for developing bioacoustic classifiers. However, real‐time classification remains challenging due to the high computational complexity of these models and the need ...

Ants contribute to raspberry pollination in protected cropping systems

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ants visited raspberry flowers more frequently than European honey bees (Apis mellifera), Australian stingless bees (Tetragonula carbonaria) and flies, many transporting raspberry pollen on their bodies, indicating potential pollination capacity. Ants were active flower visitors at most times of the day and may extend the daily pollination window and ...

Colony‐level pollen collection reflects visitation of managed bumble bees (Bombus impatiens) in strawberry fields and surrounding landscapes without reducing pollen limitation

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
We extracted pollen from colony beeswax to quantify season‐long, colony‐level resource use and tested how managed Bombus impatiens visitation and Rosaceae pollen collection relate to landscape context and strawberry pollination. Increased managed bumble bee visitation was not influenced by surrounding landcover, did not reduce pollen limitation and ...

The Outsiders: Principled Withdrawal, Whiteness, and Power in the Los Angeles Food Justice Movement

American Anthropologist, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article draws on understandings of whiteness and the misconstrual of South Central Los Angeles to analyze the power dynamics between “outsider” activists and residents of South Central as they worked toward a more equitable food system.

Feared self and responsibility in obsessive compulsive phenomena

British Journal of Clinical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives This study investigated the roles of feared self and inflated responsibility in obsessive–compulsive tendencies through an online experiment. Design A total of 185 participants (Mage = 28.11, SD = 9.12) were randomly assigned to either a heightened responsibility or control condition, then primed with feared self scenarios (morality

Changing climates and environments within the complex Middle to Late Pleistocene fill of an overdeepened valley at Niederweningen, Switzerland

Boreas, EarlyView.
Glacially overdeepened valleys in the northern Alpine Foreland preserve Middle to Late Pleistocene sedimentary sequences that may serve as valuable archives for reconstructing past environmental changes in response to shifts in climate. This study presents a multidisciplinary analysis of two sediment cores from the overdeepened Wehntal Valley at ...
