Nest site selection and productivity of a critically endangered parrot, the great green macaw (Ara ambiguus) in an anthropogenic landscape

This study examines nest site selection and productivity of great green macaws in an anthropogenic landscape, finding that they select cavities based on specific features and that productivity is influenced by these features.

Inadequate sampling of the soundscape leads to overoptimistic estimates of recogniser performance: a case study of two sympatric macaw species

The paper shows that inadequate soundscape sampling leads to overoptimistic recogniser performance in tropical macaw species, and proposes an iterative method to improve precision.

Antecedent effect models as an exploratory tool to link climate drivers to herbaceous perennial population dynamics data

This study evaluates antecedent effect models for linking climate drivers to plant population dynamics, finding they are better for hypothesis generation than prediction in small datasets.

A novel role of 3,5-cAMP in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton in Arabidopsis.

This study identifies 3,5-cAMP's role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton in Arabidopsis by modulating calcium signaling and actin-binding proteins.

Assessing seasonal demographic covariation to understand environmental-change impacts on a hibernating mammal

The paper uses a factor-analytic approach to model seasonal demographic covariation in yellow-bellied marmots, showing how environmental quality impacts population persistence.
