Beyond the Metrics: Context‐Aware Calibration for Better Drain Flow Modelling
Irrigation and Drainage, Volume 75, Issue 2, Page 659-668, April 2026.ABSTRACT Robust hydrological and water quality modelling is essential for advancing the understanding and management of engineered agricultural subsurface drainage systems. Achieving credible model output hinges on calibration strategies that are both rigorous and context sensitive. At the field scale, accurately capturing the dynamics of nutrient load

Journal of Applied Entomology, Volume 150, Issue 3, Page 364-375, April 2026.ABSTRACT The Asian hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) poses a significant threat to the beekeeping industry. Using an experimental apiary of 36 hives, we simultaneously evaluated the effectiveness of two mitigation measures—muzzles and electric harps—in reducing the impact of Asian hornets on honey bee colonies.

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 3, March 2026.The importance of artificial wetlands for waterbird conservation can be easily overestimated from count data alone. The value of extensive fish ponds as a breeding habitat depends on maintaining the availability of natural marshes as a foraging habitat. This requires reducing impacts from groundwater extraction. Given recent abandonment of aquaculture,
