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.

Cortisol concentrations in hair are biomarkers of health status and seasonal change, but not urbanisation, in wolves

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wolves have reclaimed much of their former range in Europe, including areas with a high human footprint, yet the physiological impacts of human‐associated stressors remain poorly understood. We first examined methodological factors affecting hair cortisol concentrations (HCC) in wolves by using a ‘shave/re‐shave' design to assess hair growth rate and ...

Seasonal variation in faecal glucocorticoid metabolite concentrations of two dominant southern African murids (Lemniscomys rosalia and Mastomys coucha) across variously transformed landscapes

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Global landscape transformations are a result of a growing human population and the subsequent increased use of natural habitats. Local species extinctions across various transformed landscapes emphasise the importance of monitoring wildlife responses to anthropogenic activities.

Portable, Benchtop and Micro‐XRF in Agriculture—Present and Future From the Hardware Perspective

X-Ray Spectrometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrometry has been an important tool in agricultural studies recently. This technique allows the multielemental, direct, and in situ analysis. The objective of this review is to evaluate the use of XRF in agriculture focusing on plant and soil samples based on indexed articles in the Scopus database from 2020 to ...

Predicting global habitat suitability and invasion risks of the red gum lerp psyllid Glycaspis brimblecombei under current and future climates

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Ecological niche modelling identified highly suitable habitats for Glycaspis brimblecombei across tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. Future climate projections indicate a moderate contraction of suitable areas, with persistence of core climatic suitability. Model performance was robust (AUC = 0.880; TSS = 0.634; CBI = 0.803), with temperature

Soil moisture monitoring across space-time scales: Theory, advances, and applications.

, 2014
The ability of soil to transmit water, solute, gas or energy is strongly dependent on water content. Also, soil moisture controls fundamental processes such as microbial activity and partitioning of incoming solar energy into sensible, latent, and ...

Information flow and the adoption of soil‐improving and water conservation measures, and household welfare: Insights from a randomized controlled trial in Uganda

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Extension services are designed to facilitate the flow of information from researchers to farmers. However, information failures continue to impede the diffusion of soil‐improving and water conservation technologies in Sub‐Saharan African countries. We use a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to examine the impact of an extension‐based campaign
