Identification of camera trap images by artificial intelligence and human experts produces similar multi‐species occupancy models

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
The use of a global AI classifier to identify species and reproducible pre‐ and post‐processing decisions makes our approach broadly applicable and particularly beneficial for national and international monitoring programs that collect large amounts of photo data on threatened, at risk, or management sensitive species and wildlife communities.

Space between houses influences movement and habitat selection of ungulates: Width as a novel metric of development

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.
In rural areas, maintaining spaces between houses >500 m will likely facilitate ungulate movement. To fully conserve functional habitat, such as unimpeded habitat use along migration corridors, maintaining spaces approximately >2.5 km between houses will likely be necessary. Abstract Wildlife often lose access to habitat due to housing development. The

A novel approach for distinguishing noise and information in forest MLS‐point clouds

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1595-1605, May 2026.
Abstract 3D laser scanning is a cornerstone of modern forest and ecological research, allowing detailed insight into forest structures and dynamics. Although point cloud processing and noise management are crucial steps in the exploitation of LiDAR data, traditional denoising methods are usually based on the assumption of a Gaussian noise distribution,

COPIS: A robust and versatile robotic imaging system for the 3D digitization of natural history specimens with photogrammetry

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1617-1627, May 2026.
Abstract Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly turning to 3D models to use in scientific research. Natural history museums are one of the primary sources for specimens used as 3D models, and efforts are underway to digitize their collections using methods like photogrammetry.

Accessory Antler Growing From the Left Zygomatic Bone of a Male Rusa Deer (Rusa timorensis)

open access: yesAnatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, Volume 55, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reports a case of accessory antler growth from the left zygomatic bone of a rusa stag (estimated age 7 years) shot in New Caledonia in January 2026. At the time of death, the individual was carrying orthotopic velvet antlers of about 13.5 cm length.

Neighbors to nature: A case study of recreation‐wildlife co‐existence in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
We monitored medium to large mammal and human activity to assess impacts of recreation and inform management, deploying 27 trail cameras along multi‐use non‐motorized recreational trails for 2.5 years in a heavily used area within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, USA.

Behavioral and demographic effects of open‐pit mining on Central Mountain Caribou in British Columbia

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.
The demographic manifestation of mining effects on caribou, a species listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, has been disputed. We characterized a cascade of events for caribou associated with open‐pit coal mining beginning with maladaptive behavior responses leading to negative demographic outcomes for the affected caribou ...
