Machine learning image classifiers are increasingly being used to automate camera trap image labelling, but we don't know how much ML model accuracy matters for downstream ecological analyses. Using two large data sets from an African savannah and an Asian dry forest ecosystem, we compared human labelled data with predictions from deep‐learning models ...

Wild Ruminants as a Natural Source of Methane: A Global Gridded Emissions Estimate
Abstract Methane (CH4) is a potent greenhouse gas whose global budget remains uncertain due to incomplete and uncertain constraints on several natural and anthropogenic sources. While livestock dominate animal‐derived methane emissions, emissions from wild animals—particularly ruminants—represent a persistent but under‐quantified component of the ...

No safe refuge? Contrasting effects of hunting on rainforest mammal persistence and (re)colonisation
Our results imply that hunting not only targets areas used as refuges by wildlife, but also reduces recolonisation potential and may therefore alter source–sink dynamics. We recommend spatially targeted community‐led actions to limit hunting where wildlife still persists through the creation of no‐hunting areas to ensure the long‐term persistence of ...

In light of these findings, we recommend careful regulation and spatial planning of infrastructure development within ecosystems that consider the nuanced effects human‐made structures can have on the behaviour and habitat use of migratory animals. Abstract The increasing interaction between wildlife and humans, both within and outside protected areas,
