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.

Using passive acoustic monitoring to estimate the abundance of wide-ranging species in tropical rainforest ecosystems

This study uses passive acoustic monitoring to estimate the abundance of great green macaws in Costa Rica, finding a larger population than previously thought and highlighting new conservation areas.

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.

Polygenic variation in sexual investment across an ephemerality gradient in Daphnia pulex

The paper investigates polygenic variation in sexual investment in Daphnia pulex across an ephemerality gradient, finding that clonal diversity, not genetic diversity, varies with ephemerality and identifying multiple QTL for male production.

Designing synthetic bacterial consortia for landfill leachate treatment based on community matrices and regression tree analysis

This paper develops a workflow to design synthetic bacterial consortia for landfill leachate treatment by analyzing growth interactions using factorial experiments and regression tree analysis.
