Quantifying Southern Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris nereis) Reactions to a Quadcopter Drone in Central California

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 ...

Spatial relationship of turfgrass tissue nitrogen content and several vegetation indices on sand‐capped golf course fairways

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Vegetation indices (VIs), such as normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), are widely used to assess nitrogen (N) status in crop systems and are gaining interest in turfgrass management. However, most studies have been conducted in controlled settings, and their relevance under real‐world golf course conditions remains unclear.
