Pickin' up good vibrations: a systematic review of footfall detection and analysis in the realm of wildlife surveying

open access: yesWildlife Biology, Volume 2026, Issue 5, September 2026.
Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.

Top‐Down and Bottom‐Up Drivers of Soil δ15N Spatial Patterns in a Tropical Savanna

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Although stable nitrogen isotopes (δ15N) can provide a powerful integrative tracer of localized nutrient cycling across heterogeneous savannas, the relative influence of top‐down versus bottom‐up drivers in shaping these spatial patterns remains largely unresolved.

Contrasting properties of predation and scavenging networks governed by megaherbivores in an African savannah

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 9, Page 1656-1671, September 2026.
For the first time, predation and scavenging networks are directly compared within a single ecosystem. Using an 8‐year dataset of African mammals, including megaherbivores, this study reveals distinct structural rules and body mass constraints, providing a scalable framework for studying consumer–resource dynamics and ecosystem function.

Elephant Rewilding Indirectly Affects Rodent Site‐Use and Behavior by Moderating Coarse Woody Debris Density

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Megaherbivores such as African savannah elephants are ecosystem engineers that modify vegetation structure, yet the cascading effects of these changes on smaller fauna remain poorly understood. We examined how elephant rewilding affected coarse woody debris (CWD) density and the behavior of the Natal multimammate mouse in lowveld savannah, South Africa,

Radial-velocity measurements of subdwarf B stars [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Subdwarf B (sdB) stars are hot, subluminous stars which are thought to be core-helium burning with thin hydrogen envelopes. The mechanism by which these stars lose their envelopes has been controversial, but it has been argued that binary star ...

Encroachment on Water Corridors Drives Farmers–Giraffe Conflicts Along River Tana Ecosystem in Eastern Kenya

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Human–wildlife conflict in Garissa County, Kenya, is intensified by the degradation of historical water corridors, driven mainly by Prosopis juliflora invasion, farmland expansion, and riverbank erosion. This study identifies conflict hotspots near water sources and croplands, and shows that supplementary feeding effectively reduces giraffe incursions ...

Three Decades of Monitoring Reveal That Differing Population Trends of Large Herbivores in Gonarezhou National Park, Zimbabwe, Are Related to Species Body Mass

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
For ~20 years after the severe 1992 drought, the estimated numbers of elephant, buffalo, eland, giraffe, greater kudu, nyala, warthog, waterbuck, wildebeest and zebra increased in Gonarezhou NP, Zimbabwe. After 2013/2014, the rate of change in the survey estimates declined for buffalo, eland, elephant, giraffe and zebra, but was not negative ...

Equilibria and oscillations of magnetised neutron stars

open access: yes, 2010
We investigate equilibrium configurations and oscillation spectra of neutron stars,modelled as rotating magnetised fluid bodies in Newtonian gravity. We also explorethe idea that these model neutron stars could have dynamics analogous to rigid-bodyfree ...
