DOI: 10.1002/ece3.7029
Abstract: Abstract Globally, many insect populations are declining, prompting calls for action. Yet these findings have also prompted discussion about sampling methods and interpretation of long‐term datasets. As insect monitoring and research efforts increase, it is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1071/am19056
Abstract: Small mammals are commonly surveyed using live trapping but the influence of weather conditions on trap success is largely unknown. This information is required to design and implement more effective field surveys and monitoring. We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1103/physrevc.100.045805
Abstract: In the late stages of stellar core-collapse, prior to core bounce, electron captures on medium-heavy nuclei drive deleptonization and simulations require the use of accurate reaction rates. Nuclei with neutron number near $N=50$, just above… read more here.

DOI: 10.1653/024.106.0111
Abstract: Summary Using an appropriate trap design can significantly increase trap capture rates for specific insect pests. Chrysobothris are common buprestid pests in nursery production. Using traps that are shaped to mimic preferred tree hosts captured… read more here.

DOI: 10.2993/0278-0771-40.2.252
Abstract: Abstract. The lack of cost-effective methods to detect game species in tropical forests hinders reliable assessments of their population status and the planning of effective actions for their sustainable use. Tortoises are among the most… read more here.
