Decoding the footsteps of the African savanna: Classifying wildlife using seismic signals and machine learning
1 INTRODUCTION Wildlife populations are under unprecedented pressure due to habitat fragmentation, climate change, and human activity (Díaz et al., 2019; Haddad et al., 2015). Monitoring these populations is essential for designing effective conservation strategies and mitigating negative impacts (Stephenson et al., 2022).

Pollack v Google: the new approach to carriage disputes
Collective proceedings before the UK’s Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT or Tribunal) have been amongst the fastest developing areas of litigation in the UK in recent years (see our summary for 2022) with no sign of slowdown in further judicial developments any time soon. The latest ruling handed down by the CAT in Pollack v Google looks to set a new direction for its approach in determining rival applications in collective proceedings.

An unlikely eavesdropping technology could save the African elephants
African elephants can be found roaming the forests and grasslands of 37 countries across the continent. But sadly, these sentient and intelligent animals are rapidly declining, and were recently declared endangered. For these remaining elephants to find each other, they make a variety of vocal noises to greet and warn each other, or to woo potential mates. Some of their vocalizations, which are called rumbles, are very low-pitched. So low in fact that humans can barely hear them.

Correction: Planthopper bugs use a fast, cyclic elastic recoil mechanism for effective vibrational communication at small body size

Classifying elephant behaviour through seismic vibrations
The propagation of seismic information is affected by the vibration source, which in this study is elephant behaviour. Seismic vibrations generated by wild elephants were recorded in Kenya (Supplemental InformationSupplemental Information).
In situ tensile tests of single silk fibres in an environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM)
Silk’s well-defined response to environmental conditions makes it a useful candidate to investigate the relationship between structure and function in biological materials. This area of research is of increasing importance as commonly employed microscopic and spectroscopic techniques often demand samples to be exposed to environments quite unlike those found in nature (i.e. low humidities and vacuum pressures).
