An integrated model of territory occupancy and mark‐recapture data for estimating spatial variation...

Spatial variation in survival is central to understanding population dynamics and guiding conservation. However, assessing it is hard, since capture-mark-recapture (CMR) data required for such inf...

📖Published📖 Authors introduce a novel, cost-effective, miniaturized PM2.5 datalogger (‘smoke logger’) that collects sub-hourly particulate matter data throughout entire fire seasons. Read here👇 buff.ly/4r5kGdk

Smoke signals: Measuring wildlife smoke exposure with animal‐borne and stationary sensors

Wildfires are becoming larger, more frequent and more severe, producing smoke plumes that degrade air quality hundreds of kilometres away and for days to weeks after an active fire. Despite public...

Distinguishing pairwise species spatial associations from multi‐species distribution patterns

To understand species coexistence, measuring between-species co-distributional patterns is valuable. In the present study, we distinguished and separated pairwise species spatial associations (inc...

📖 Published📖 This review argues that edge AI systems enable timely and scalable ecological observations, but realising their full potential depends on closer collaboration 🤖 🧪 🌏️ 👉️ buff.ly/I1YCBJf

Future of edge AI in biodiversity monitoring

Many ecological decisions are slowed by the gap between collecting and analysing biodiversity information. Edge computing moves data processing closer to the sensor, with edge artificial intellige...
