Understanding mammal avoidance of human settlements

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1504-1517, August 2026.
Terrestrial mammals often avoid human settlements, but is this a result of human activity around buildings or the built infrastructure per se? Using data on animal movement before and during the COVID‐19 lockdowns, this paper disentangles these effects, showing how changes in human mobility affect animals' avoidance of buildings.

Proxies for success: Targeted hazing reduces wildlife use of runway‐adjacent areas and management effort at an airport

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
Sustained non‐lethal hazing was associated with reduced wildlife use of runway‐adjacent critical areas while overall wildlife numbers remained stable. Bayesian models of operational hazing records showed that the proportion of individuals in critical areas declined, lower hazing escalation was required over time, and pre‐ and post‐hazing response ...

Inter‐row flowering strips enhance pest suppression and improve tree physiological performance in pine nurseries

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 8, August 2026.
To reduce reliance on synthetic pesticides and improve planting‐stock quality, nursery managers may consider integrating perennial flowering strips into inter‐rows, particularly under comparable pine nursery conditions. This nature‐based intervention was associated with reduced sap‐sucking pest pressure, probably mediated by increased natural enemy ...

Harnessing edge computing and citizen science: A new prototype design for continental‐scale acoustic monitoring in Australia and beyond

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2295-2308, August 2026.
Abstract Inadequate monitoring of biodiversity is a characteristic of conservation the world over. The potential of acoustic monitoring is compelling, although the challenges remain substantial. Effective solutions require transdisciplinary collaboration among stakeholders, a focus on open‐source development, and flexible, multipronged technical ...

SANE: An index of anthropogenic noise levels for wildlife research in terrestrial ecosystems

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2464-2476, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding the impact of noise pollution on wildlife is challenging due to the complexity of isolating the anthropogenic components from the soundscape. Soundscape studies usually employ acoustic indices that apply thresholds to isolate anthrophony from natural sounds. However, natural and anthropogenic sounds do not always conform to these
