ForestForTrees: An R package to infer forest structure from remote sensing data
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2052-2060, July 2026.Abstract Estimating forest size‐abundance distributions is essential for understanding demographic processes and structural dynamics. Remote sensing provides broad coverage but often misses smaller trees hidden beneath the canopy, complicating inference of the full size distribution.

In situ aerial bioacoustic monitoring from extremely noisy drone recordings
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2061-2072, July 2026.Abstract Aerial bioacoustic monitoring has the potential to transform biodiversity surveys by enabling rapid acoustic sampling across large and inaccessible habitats. However, its application from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has remained limited because strong rotor self‐noise overwhelms target sounds such as bird vocalisations, compromising the ...

Linking Plant and Microbial Traits to Soil Carbon for Reliable and Resilient Bioenergy Systems
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 7, July 2026.Plant–microbe–soil interactions supporting productivity and soil carbon storage in bioenergy systems. Plants supply organic inputs that sustain microbial communities driving nutrient cycling, carbon stabilization, and soil aggregation. These interactions enhance soil structure and nutrient retention, supporting both biomass productivity and broader ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Drones are useful for wildlife research and management, but they can cause disturbance and harassment to wildlife. Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are candidates for drone‐based observation and monitoring but are vulnerable to disturbance. No studies have evaluated drone effects on sea otter behavior, but based on prior disturbance studies, we ...
