Reevaluating the suitability of amphibians and reptiles for translocation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The scale of amphibian and reptile translocations over the past 16 years necessitates a reassessment of current practices since the last major review in 2009. We conducted a literature review of translocations from 2007 to 2023 and identified 313 case studies encompassing conservation‐, mitigation‐, and research‐related translocations.

Designing a robust survey and monitoring program: A simulation approach to evaluate the power of various sampling designs to detect changes in possum population trends

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Here we evaluate the strength of various spotlighting sampling designs to detect changes in ngwayir (Western ringtail possum; Pseudocheirus occidentalis) population trends using the Upper Warren region of Western Australia as a case study. We simulated ngwayir population scenarios, conducted virtual surveys of these populations, and then built distance

Landscape and Geography Determine Saproxylic Beetle Captures in Pheromone‐Baited Traps

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Pheromone‐baited traps at 39 forest sites across southern Sweden captured 58 saproxylic beetle species, including seven Red‐listed taxa. The effect of surrounding forest cover on beetle abundance may depend on latitude and longitude: positive effects were strongest in warmer southern and eastern regions but weakened or reversed in colder northwestern ...

Thermal acclimation and environment drive field dispersal patterns of adult Mediterranean fruit flies

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Ambient temperature significantly increased Mediterranean fruit fly recapture rates, demonstrating a strong effect of immediate environmental conditions on field dispersal. Female recaptures were 2.6‐fold higher in orchards containing host plants, whereas male recaptures were unaffected by host presence.

AI‐Driven Feedback on Bitewing Radiographic Technique: A Comparative Study of Large Language Models

European Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Large language models (LLMs) can enhance learning engagement and accessibility, though their performance in dentistry is inconsistent. Bitewing radiographs are critical for caries detection but prone to diagnostic errors from operator positioning. This study compared the performance of four LLMs with reasoning capabilities, GPT o1,

Guises of Despair

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Is Hope A Secular Virtue?’ (2024), Bob Stern and I argued that despairing involves being unable to stop desiring something we deem of great value while believing that this good can neither be obtained, nor return on its own. We characterised despair as one of the two vices hope sits between as a virtue (the opposite vice being unwarranted ...

Peer Pressure: Do the Fitness Benefits of Animal Behavioral Traits Vary With Conspecific Density?

Ethology, EarlyView.
We show that the activity of juvenile North American red squirrels influenced their survival in a density‐dependent manner: more active individuals had higher survival under high conspecific density, whereas less active juveniles had higher survival under low densities. Juveniles who were both more active and aggressive were more likely to survive. Our
