World Journal of Otorhinolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The prevalence of allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma (AS) comorbidity (AR + AS) is increasing and is associated with severe allergic symptoms. The impact of cat dander sensitization on AR + AS remains unclear. Methods In this retrospective study, 1154 patients with AR alone and 213 patients with AR + AS were enrolled at the Third ...

Monitoring wildlife using long‐endurance solar‐electric UAVs
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.This report discusses the effectiveness of using small solar‐electric UAV (uncrewed aerial vehicles) for aerial wildlife monitoring. We review four years of aerial wildlife monitoring missions using a 5.5‐m wingspan, solar‐electric UAV that was equipped with a gimballed IR/RGB camera.

Quantifying microhabitat selection of snowshoe hares using forest metrics from UAS‐based LiDAR
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Identifying the spatial and temporal scale at which animals select resources is critical for predicting how populations respond to changes in the environment. The spatial distribution of fine‐scale resources (e.g. patches of dense vegetation) are often linked with critical life‐history requirements such as denning and feeding sites.

Experimental assessment of large mammal population estimates from airborne thermal videography
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wildlife resource management requires reliable, fast, and affordable methods of surveying wildlife populations to develop and adaptively adjust policies. Thermal video from drones can yield high rates of detection over large areas with relative speed and safety.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Exploration of new wildlife surveying methodologies that leverage advances in sensor technology and machine learning has led to tentative research into the application of seismology techniques. This, most commonly, involves the deployment of a footfall trap – a seismic sensor and data logger customised for wildlife footfall.
