BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of integrating PAM with BirdNET, a convolutional neural network originally developed for avian vocalization detection, to monitor two critically endangered lemurs, Indri indri and Varecia variegata, in Madagascar's Maromizaha rainforest.

Passive environmental DNA sampling: A review of current practices, limitations and future directions for biodiversity monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Passive environmental DNA (eDNA) sampling is rapidly emerging as a powerful alternative to active sampling methods (e.g. direct water sampling), with a rapidly growing diversity of tested approaches but little methodological convergence.

Impact of Forest Fragmentation and Associated Edge Effects on Tropical Forest Biodiversity in North West Madagascar, Assessed via Ecoacoustics

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Deforestation in the tropics is a major threat to forest‐specialist animals, many of which are already threatened with extinction. We assessed how forest fragmentation and its associated edge‐effects impact animal biodiversity in Northwest Madagascar using soundscape analysis and acoustic indices.

Monitoring African Megafauna in an Anthropogenic Landscape: A 15‐Year Case Study of the Vulnerable West African Giraffe

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...

Phylogenetically‐Informed Crayfish Conservation in the Face of Climate Change

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Crayfish are a vital part of freshwater ecosystems, yet one third of assessed species are threatened with extinction, and almost 90% are highly sensitive to climate change. In this study, we produced a phylogenetically‐informed species prioritisation for crayfish conservation and explored the impacts of projected climate change scenarios on crayfish ...

Rethinking Spatial Prioritisation for Primate Conservation in an Unprotected Intact Forest Landscape in the Gulf of Guinea

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
This study highlights the importance of the unprotected Yabassi Key Biodiversity Area, Cameroon, for primate conservation in the Gulf of Guinea biodiversity hotspot. We modelled primate distribution patterns and found that historically overlooked parts of the landscape have high species richness and are critical for some threatened species.
