A phantom ultrasonic insect chorus repels low‐flying bats, but most are undeterred by Sedlock, Jodi L., Gomes, Dylan G. E., Rubin, Juliette J., Woody, Sarah, Hadi, Buyung A. R., Barber, Jesse R.

“…We found that our phantom katydid chorus reduced bat activity nearest the sound source by 39.3% (95% CI: 7.8%–60.0%) for species whose call spectrum fully overlapped with the chorus, and elicited marginal reductions in activity in species with only partial spectral overlap. Our study suggests that ultrasonic insect choruses degrade foraging habitat, potentially suppressing bats’ ecosystem services as consumers of pests; and, given the global distribution of meadow katydids, may provide an underappreciated force modifying animal behaviour in other grassland habitats.The acoustic environment can serve as a niche axis, structuring animal behaviour by providing or obscuring salient information. …”

A Historical Perspective on Land Tenure Security by Sunderlin, W.D., Holland, M.B.

“…We spotlight the broad arc of history tied to land access: the widespread acquisition of land by the powerful dating several centuries back, the partial restoration of local land access beginning in the mid-twentieth century (e.g., post-colonial governments, agricultural land reform and redistribution movements, and forest management devolution), the land-grabbing phenomenon and violence of recent years, and the current uncertainty over future directions for tenure security.…”
