Effects of Sediment‐Control Operations on Fish and Macroinvertebrate Communities in Dam Reservoirs

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sediments are avoided in many river and dam managements because of their adverse effects on water usage and flood control. Recently, sedimentation control measures, including sluicing, have been employed to manage sediments in river channels and restore communities in dammed rivers.

Automated object detection based on YOLOv11 for monitoring benthic population dynamics: A new approach combining photogrammetry and open‐source GIS tools applied to sea cucumbers

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This research established a new object detection model based on YOLOv11 to recognise benthic organisms, specifically sea cucumbers, by utilising high‐resolution photogrammetric‐based orthomosaics acquired along infralittoral Mediterranean Sea beds. The model demonstrated impressive performance metrics and, when combined with the Deepness plugin for the

ACCURACY ASSESSMENTS OF PAN-SHARPENED IMAGE FOR BENTHIC HABITATS MAPPING

Geoplanning: Journal of Geomatics and Planning, 2017
Image-sharpening process integrates lower spatial resolution multispectral bands with higher spatial resolution panchromatic band to produce multispectral bands with finer spatial detail called pan-sharpened image. Although the pan-sharpened image can greatly assist the process of information extraction using visual interpretation, the benefit and ...

Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

Rhyming in the cold: first evidence of soniferous fishes in the Southern Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
The acoustic ecology of Southern Ocean fishes remains unknown due to a lack of dedicated acoustic research on the fishes of this ocean. Passive acoustic monitoring data were collected at the South African sub‐Antarctic Prince Edward Islands using an underwater acoustic recorder, and towed underwater Ski‐Monkey cameras were deployed to identify fish ...

Deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and improved YOLOv9 for efficient benthos detection: a case study at Lake Hamana, Japan

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a UAV‐based framework that integrates deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and an enhanced YOLO detector to improve centimetre‐scale benthic organism monitoring. Using hermit crabs in Lake Hamana, a coastal lagoon in Japan, as a case study, the method substantially enhanced small‐object detection performance ...

Monitoring of Crustose Coralline Algae Using Low‐Altitude Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Intertidal Reefs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
High‐resolution visible‐light imagery from low‐altitude unmanned aerial vehicles, combined with superpixel segmentation and a Random Forest classifier, provides an efficient and scalable framework for mapping and monitoring crustose coralline algae and reef habitats.

Discovery and Fine‐Scale Mapping of Hadal Xenophyophore Habitat in the Nova Canton Trough, Central Pacific Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Discovery and fine‐scale mapping of a hadal xenophyophore field: submersible video transects and photogrammetry enable semi‐automated delineation of xenophyophores, revealing their abundance, spatial organisation, structural complexity and contribution to habitat heterogeneity at ~8000 m depth.

Spatial Prioritization for the Zonation of a Reef System in a New Remote Marine Protected Area in the Southern Gulf of Mexico

Diversity
Coral reef ecosystems are biodiversity hotspots that provide essential ecological and environmental services but are increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressure and climate change.
