Inferring the Abundance of an Island Megaherbivore From Semi‐Structured Distance Sampling
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.We use a hierarchical Bayesian distance‐sampling model to infer the atoll‐wide abundance and habitat‐specific density of Aldabra giant tortoises from long‐term, irregular transect monitoring on Aldabra Atoll (Seychelles). The detection‐corrected wet‐season estimate indicates a large, stable population of ~182,500 individuals (2018–2021), supporting the

Global analysis suggests nitrogen deposition as an underestimated driver of vegetation greening
Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 9, September 2026.The local effects of atmospheric nitrogen deposition on plants are well established, yet a global empirical analysis of nitrogen deposition effects on vegetation dynamics is missing. Here, we assess how nitrogen deposition, alongside other global change drivers such as fire, and changes in temperature, precipitation and human land use, is related to ...

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 5, September‐October 2026.Our key findings show that polyurethane passive air samplers can sample insects, although highly abundant insects tend to be overrepresented. Our results also suggest that airborne eDNA might give us a broad temporal image of the insect communities over several weeks, rather than a snapshot of when samples are collected.

Environmetrics, Volume 37, Issue 6, September 2026.ABSTRACT In spatial regression models, unmeasured spatial variables, represented by spatial random effects, are typically not independent of observed covariates and can induce significant bias in covariate effect estimates. This fundamental problem, known as spatial confounding, has been extensively studied, but sometimes with puzzling and seemingly ...

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.We show that impacts of agriculture on arthropod biodiversity are notably less negative in Europe than in other regions, which we find is driven by a degraded baseline, a selection bias of reference sites, and novel species compositions in agriculture that favour widespread habitat generalists and non‐native species.
