Mapping out bare-nosed wombat (Vombatus ursinus) burrows with the use of a drone

open access: yesBMC Ecology, 2019
Background Wombats are large, nocturnal herbivores that build burrows in a variety of habitats, including grassland communities, and can come into conflict with people.

Surveying wildlife and livestock in Uganda with aerial cameras: Deep Learning reduces the workload of human interpretation by over 70%

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
As the need to accurately monitor key-species populations grows amid increasing pressures on global biodiversity, the counting of large mammals in savannas has traditionally relied on the Systematic-Reconnaissance-Flight (SRF) technique using light ...

Shifting Goalposts: Setting Restoration Targets for Waterbirds in the Murray-Darling Basin Under Climate Change

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
The Murray-Darling Basin (the Basin) is the largest river system in Australia, supplying about 40% of the country’s irrigated agricultural output. Associated water resource development has come with a heavy price for the Basin’s freshwater ecosystems ...

Ground-truthed and high-resolution drone images of the leafy spurge weed plant (Euphorbia esula)

open access: yesScientific Data
This dataset comprises 1.3 cm resolution aerial images of grasslands in western Montana, USA, captured by a commercial drone. Many scenes contain leafy spurge (Euphorbia esula), introduced to North America, now widespread in rangeland ecosystems, which ...

Recent experience of surveying the spawning grounds of pacific salmons in the water bodies of Chukotka

open access: yesИзвестия ТИНРО, 2020
Aerial survey of the pacific salmon spawning grounds was conducted in the water bodies of Chukotka belonged to the Bering Sea basin (the Anadyr, Velikaya, Tumanskaya Rivers and Meinypilgyno lake-river system) in 2019, for the first time since 1992. Total

Confirmation of significant sea turtle nesting activity on a remote island chain in the Gulf of Mexico

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2023
Globally, six of the seven sea turtle species are threatened or endangered and as such, monitoring reproductive activity for these species is necessary for effective population recovery.

Peripheral lysosomes recruit PLEKHG3 to focal adhesions and restrain protrusion dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Proximity‐dependent labeling at the LAMTOR complex revealed the Rho GEF PLEKHG3 as a lysosome‐proximal protein directing the study toward the influence of lysosome positioning on actin dynamics and cell motility. We show that PLEKHG3 colocalizes with lysosomes at focal adhesion sites and observe that forced peripheral dispersion of lysosomes hinders ...

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Functional comparison of EncB and EncC cargo proteins in iron storage within the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Warm beach, warmer turtles: Using drone-mounted thermal infrared sensors to monitor sea turtle nesting activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Conservation Science, 2022
For decades sea turtle projects around the world have monitored nesting females using labor-intensive human patrolling techniques. Here we describe the first empirical testing of a drone-mounted thermal infrared sensor for nocturnal sea turtle monitoring;
