Camera traps and deep learning enable efficient large‐scale density estimation of wildlife in temperate forest ecosystems

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested the effect of using a readily available deep learning algorithm for animal species classification on the population density estimates of eight wild mammal species in 10 protected areas (Da). In general, there were no significant differences to the manual estimates (Dm) for all animal species and seasons.

Visualizing Causal Interactions Across the 2030 Agenda Pillars: Mapping Priorities for Integrated Policy Action

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the interconnections between the five pillars of the 2030 Agenda, which we constructed using partial synthetic indices of the sustainable development goals (SDGs). We use time series of the 169 targets corresponding to the 17 SDGs from Eurostat, covering the period from 2000 to 2021 for 28 countries.

Transmission routes of African swine fever virus to domestic pigs: current knowledge and future research directions [PDF]

, 2016
African swine fever (ASF) is a major threat to the pig industry in Europe. Since 2007, ASF outbreaks have been ongoing in the Caucasus, Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries, causing severe economic losses for many pig farmers and pork producers.

Unraveling the impact of dog‐friendly spaces on urban–wildland pumas and other wildlife

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
As the most widespread large carnivore on the planet, domestic dogs Canis lupus familiaris can pose a major threat to wildlife, even within protected areas (PAs). Growing human presence in PAs, coupled with increasing pet dog ownership underscores the urgency to understand the influence of dogs on wildlife activity and health.

Benefit or ecological trap? Monitoring the effects of small clear‐cuts on capercaillie Tetrao urogallus and its mammalian predators

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The shift to ‘close to nature forestry' as the dominating forestry regime in western‐European forests has resulted in increasing timber volume and denser forests with negative effects on photophilic species. Hence, there is an increasing focus on active habitat management measures to support these species.
