A Comparison of Mobile Laser Scanning Data Acquisition Methods in Closed Forest, Open Woodland and Sub‐Alpine Woodland Ecosystems

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the mobile laser scanning (MLS) sampling density required to reliably characterise vegetation structure increases with a site's structural complexity. Applying a five‐level acquisition framework across open woodland, closed forest and sub‐alpine woodland ecosystems, we found that longer scanning paths increased the ...

Field test of assumptions for using line transect distance sampling on rock ptarmigan

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Reliable population estimates are essential for the management of harvested species. Line transect distance sampling using pointing dogs is an established survey method for willow ptarmigan and has also been proposed for the monitoring of rock ptarmigan.

Abiotic variables drive different aspects of fish community trait variation and species richness across the continental United States

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Trait distributions provide insight into how niches overlap within a broader trait space. By integrating individual‐level trait observations from different communities, we can explore how facets of trait dimensionality vary across environmental conditions.

BackPACK: Packing more into backprop

open access: yesCoRR, 2019
Automatic differentiation frameworks are optimized for exactly one thing: computing the average mini-batch gradient. Yet, other quantities such as the variance of the mini-batch gradients or many approximations to the Hessian can, in theory, be computed efficiently, and at the same time as the gradient.

ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF THE NIGHT: Discovering Community and Care in Night Shift Work

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Within the burgeoning attention being paid to the night‐time economy (NTE) in and by cities, the demands and impacts of night work have gathered increasingly scholarly attention. Research has centred on the darker side of these, pointing to workers' precarity and vulnerability. What if we attend also to a ‘brighter side’ of the night and night

To release or not to release? A call for caution when considering wildlife reintroductions

open access: yesConservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Conservation efforts often focus on flagship species and short‐term measures such as captive breeding and reintroductions, yet these approaches may benefit from being complemented with a broader view of the factors that influence long‐term recovery. Using examples from management programs in the Iberian Peninsula, we highlight the value of considering ...
