Marmots from space: assessing population size and habitat use of a burrowing mammal using publicly available satellite images

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 153-167, June 2020., 2020
We here show how publicly available, high‐resolution satellite images (such as Google Earth) can be used to map the burrows of social, burrowing mammals and predict their distribution and abundance on very large spatial scales. We digitized burrows of Bobak marmot (Marmota bobak) across its range in Kazakhstan using Google Earth and Bing images and ...
