Analytical Review on Improving Coconut Production and Management Practices in Fiji

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Coconuts are popularly regarded as the “Tree of Heaven” because of its multitude of uses from food, medicine, cosmetics, fuel, drink, oil, timber, domestic utensils, and cultural significance. Secondary data (published literature and FAOSTAT database) and firsthand data (limited to Fiji Islands) from an exploratory study by Lata et al., 2024, were used

From buzzes to bytes: A systematic review of automated bioacoustics models used to detect, classify and monitor insects

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 6, Page 1199-1211, June 2024.
Automated bioacoustics methods can be a useful tool for monitoring insects and addressing pressing ecological and societal questions. Successful applications include assessing insect biodiversity, distribution and behaviour, as well as evaluating the effectiveness of restoration and pest control efforts. We recommend collaborations among ecologists and
