Using unmanned aerial vehicles to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring by Thomas C. Stone, Katrina J. Davis

“…Abstract Demographic data are essential to construct mechanistic models to understand how populations change over time and in response to global threats like climate change. Existing demographic data are either lacking or insufficient for many species, particularly those that are challenging to obtain direct measurements from that can be used to estimate demographic rates, like marine mammals. …”

Unearthing the burden of melioidosis in North India – an emerging threat in a non-endemic region by Shweta Raina, Disha Gautam, Rohit Kumar, Kavita Sisodia, Chiranjay Mukhopadhyay, Harpreet Kaur, Mohammed Ashiq, Rushika Saksena

“…The reported cases highlight the many risk factors for infection in this region that was not previously recognised as being endemic for melioidosis, including high prevalence of diabetes mellitus, alcoholism, and large rural population engaged in paddy cultivation. Climate change results in frequent flooding and waterlogging in urban areas, leading to exposure of soil harbouring B. pseudomallei, thus a contributing factor to the rise in cases in cities. …”

Assessment of Nitrogen Ceilings for Dutch Agricultural Soils to Avoid Adverse Environmental Impacts by Wim de Vries, Hans Kros, Oene Oenema, Jan Willem Erisman

“…This leads to a series of environmental impacts, including: (1) nitrate (NO3) contamination of drinking water, (2) eutrophication of freshwater lakes, (3) acidification and biodiversity impacts on terrestrial ecosystems, (4) ozone and particle formation affecting human health, and (5) global climate change induced by emissions of N2O. Measures to control reactive N emissions were, up to now, directed towards those different environmental themes. …”
