Reduction of Species Identification Errors in Surveys of Marine Wildlife Abundance Utilising Unoccupied Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2022
The advent of unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs) has enhanced our capacity to survey wildlife abundance, yet new protocols are still required for collecting, processing, and analysing image-type observations.

Monitoring trends in sea turtle populations: walk or fly?

open access: yesEndangered Species Research, 2017
Monitoring animal populations is essential to conservation, and complex monitoring goals require complex resources. Variable detection probabilities can create uncertainty in trends and abundances estimated from point count surveys (e.g. nest counts), as

Aerial Drone Survey

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Research in Science, Communication and Technology, 2022
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is growing rapidly across many civil application domains including real-time monitoring, providing wireless coverage, remote sensing, search and rescue, delivery of goods, security and surveillance, precision agriculture, and civil infrastructure inspection.

Advantages of Gamma-Radiometric and Spectrometric Low-Altitude Geophysical Surveys by Unmanned Aerial Systems with Small Scintillation Detectors

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2021
Unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for airborne gamma-ray surveys in radioecological and geological research are being increasingly used, since they provide radiation safety for personnel and high survey performance. Improvement of detection modules is one of

Harbour Porpoise Abundance in Portugal over a 5-Year Period and Estimates of Potential Distribution

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
The Iberian porpoise population is small and under potentially unsustainable removal by fisheries bycatch. Recently, a marine Site of Community Importance (SCI) was legally approved in Portugal, but no measures ensued to promote porpoise conservation ...

Aerial surveys adjusted by ground surveys to estimate area occupied by black‐tailed prairie dog colonies

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2012
Aerial surveys using line‐intercept methods are one approach to estimate the extent of prairie dog colonies in a large geographic area. Although black‐tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) construct conspicuous mounds at burrow openings, aerial ...

Aerial vertical‐looking infrared imagery to evaluate bias of distance sampling techniques for white‐tailed deer

open access: yesWildlife Society Bulletin, 2014
Population monitoring requires techniques that produce estimates with low bias and adequate precision. Distance sampling using ground‐based thermal infrared imaging (ground imaging) and spotlight surveys is commonly used to estimate population densities ...

Visibility of St Lawrence belugas to aerial photography, estimated by direct observation

open access: yesNAMMCO Scientific Publications, 2002
The depleted population of belugas (Delphinapterus leucas) inhabiting the St Lawrence estuary, Canada, was monitored by periodic photographic aerial surveys. In order to correct counts made on aerial survey film and to obtain an estimate of the true size
