Perceived costs as drivers of wildlife management preferences in rural Tanzanian communities

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Effectively managing human–wildlife interactions is crucial for fostering coexistence on shared landscapes. Management options are most effective when aligned with the preferences of people directly affected by wildlife, yet little is known about how socioecological factors influence these preferences.

Design and Implementation of an Automated Safety Control System for the Jocelyn Bell Burnell Radio Telescope

Radio Science, Volume 61, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Large parabolic antennas used in radio astronomy are mechanically vulnerable to high wind loads, which can compromise both structural integrity and pointing calibration. We present the design, implementation, and validation of an automated safety control system for the 4.5 m Jocelyn Bell Burnell radio telescope at the Public University of ...

Long‐term aridity shapes grassland drought resistance and modulates the roles of plant diversity and functional composition

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Widely studied stability drivers such as plant diversity and functional composition have only partial explanatory power for short‐term drought resistance of above‐ground productivity in grasslands at a global scale. The abiotic context, particularly long‐term aridity, is crucial for understanding ecosystem responses to rainfall variation and can ...
