Camera trapping and passive acoustic monitoring as non-invasive techniques for the study of small mammals

This paper compares camera trapping and passive acoustic monitoring for studying terrestrial small mammals, finding differences in species detection but no difference in species richness between methods.

Shoal cohesion and polarisation increase in turbid water and improve foraging performance

This study shows that fish shoals become more cohesive and coordinated in turbid water, which enhances their foraging performance despite slower responses in clear water.

A spatially explicit model of pollinator-plant-pathogen interactions

This paper develops an individual-based model to study how pollinator behavior and floral landscape structure influence pathogen spread through floral hotspots.
