How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

A 3-D Spatial–Spectral–Temporal Deep Regression Model for Improving Mangrove Canopy Height Estimation Through Fusion of Optimized Red-Edge Sentinel-2 Bands and Sentinel-1 SAR Data

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Mangroves are vital blue carbon ecosystems with high carbon storage, where canopy height is a key parameter for estimating above-ground biomass.

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Scale dependency of lidar‐derived forest structural diversity

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023
Lidar‐derived forest structural diversity (FSD) metrics—including measures of forest canopy height, vegetation arrangement, canopy cover (CC), structural complexity and leaf area and density—are increasingly used to describe forest structural ...

Foraging under Predation Risk: A test of giving-up densities with samango monkeys in South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
Animals frequently make a trade-off between food and safety and will sacrifice feeding effort if it means safety from predators. A forager can also vary its vigilance levels to manage predation risk.

New global map of forest canopy height [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2012
Just how tall are forests around the world? A new global map shows forest canopy height at 1‐kilometer spatial resolution. Simard et al. used satellite data from the Geoscience Laser Altimeter System aboard the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite (ICESat) to create a global map of the height of the forest canopy.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Canopy height estimation from lidar data using open source software compared with commercial software [PDF]

, 2011
The goal of this study is to analyze the performance of Open Source Software (OSS) towards the generation of Digital Terrain Model (DTM) and Digital Surface Model (DSM), further on estimates the canopy height by using Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR ...

The effect of canopy position on growth and mortality in mixed sapling communities during self-thinning [PDF]

, 2009
This research investigates how species in the sapling phase differ in growth and survival depending on light availability (as estimated by canopy position) by means of tree-ring analysis and modelling mortality.

Relationship between home range and population density in mammals: the role of sociality, territoriality and habitat dimensionality

Ecography, EarlyView.
Organisms' energy requirements increase with body mass, leading to larger home range areas and lower population density. Previous research has highlighted the differential scaling of these variables in mammals, where species with large home ranges have higher density than expected due to increased home range overlap. Here we investigate this phenomenon
