Machine learning‐assisted vibrational detection and classification of drywood termite infestations

Approaches in Entomology: Methods, Philosophies, and Ethics, Volume 1, Issue 1, August‐December 2026.
Vibratory recordings combined with machine learning accurately detected drywood termite infestations within wood using a fully non‐destructive sensing approach. Models successfully classified termite presence and infestation intensity (empty, low, high density), achieving over 80% accuracy in both internal and external validation.

Spatial metrics in fire ecology: seeking consistency amidst complexity

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 4, Page 1641-1661, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Technological advances, including remote sensing, have led to a proliferation of metrics used in ecological studies to examine spatial patterns of fire regimes and their ecological effects. Researchers can use many different metrics to analyse spatial variation in both fire events and resulting fire regimes, including fire size, shape ...

Functional and Taxonomic Structuring of Ground‐Dwelling Spider Communities Under the Combined Effects of the Environment and Metal Contamination

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Through a field study along a metal contamination gradient, we propose a combined application of taxonomic and functional approaches to study the impacts of contamination on polyphagous predators, spiders. We have demonstrated a significant impact of metal contamination on spider communities, although it operates among a set of variables (e.g ...

Columnanidus calitzdorpensis ichnogen. ichnosp. nov: A new Middle Pleistocene subterranean termite trace fossil from South Africa

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 933-949, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Termites are landscape geo‐engineers whose nesting activities substantially modify the physical and chemical properties of soils. Fossilised termite nests commonly constitute the only identifiable evidence of ancient termite activity and represent valuable trace fossil archives for reconstructing past environments.

Spatial Scale Modulates the Effect of Habitat Amount on Diversity Patterns of Arachnid Assemblages Across Different Brazilian Ecosystems

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim We evaluated how native vegetation cover influences the diversity of arachnid assemblages across multiple spatial scales in major Brazilian ecosystems. Location Brazil (Amazon and Atlantic rainforests, Cerrado savanna and Caatinga dry forest). Taxon Arachnida (Opiliones, Pseudoscorpiones and Scorpiones). Methods We sampled arachnids at 120
