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 The presence of the franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei) at the northern limit of the FMA II was investigated using a range of methods, including monitoring of strandings, boat surveys, and passive acoustic monitoring (PAM). Franciscana strandings were recorded within the distributional gap between Macaé (22°55′ S) and Ilha Grande (23°09′ S ...

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 ...

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Monitoring pregnancy rates can provide vital information regarding a population's viability and trajectory. This study combined drone‐based photogrammetry with biopsy darting to determine if the Scaled Mass Index (SMI) estimated from aerial images can be used to identify pregnant, free‐ranging St.

Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Territory quality is a key determinant of male reproductive success and an important driver of population dynamics in pinnipeds. In Australian fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus doriferus; AUFS), males rely on pre‐breeding energy reserves to acquire and maintain territories, linking competitive ability to body size and condition.
