Monitoring feral pigs (Sus scrofa): Complementarity between autonomous sensing methods increases detection probability

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Invasive alien species are a major threat for biodiversity worldwide and effective monitoring is paramount to inform management. In this study we used a multi‐season occupancy model to assess probability of detection between camera traps and passive acoustic recorders for feral pigs (Sus scrofa) during 1 year of data collection.

Historical remote sensing highlights long‐term persistence of Emperor Penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) colonies

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Remote sensing can reveal population dynamics of Antarctic penguin colonies. In this study, we analyze emperor penguin (Aptenodytes forsteri) guano stains in remote sensing imagery and discover colony presence predating known records for 18 colonies across Antarctica.

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 ...

Inferring Brown Bear Hair Snare Interactions by Automatically Detecting Bipedalism on Camera Trap Images Using Pose Estimation and a Multilayer Perceptron

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study proposes an automated method to infer brown bear hair snare interactions by detecting bipedal behavior in camera‐trap images using a pose estimation model and a multilayer perceptron (MLP). A YOLO‐based model, fine‐tuned from humans and dogs to a custom dataset, achieved high performance (≈93% keypoint precision and ≈96% classification ...

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

Remote 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 ...

Response to ‘Improving abundance estimation by combining capture–recapture and presence–absence data: Example with a large carnivore’

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
A key area of research in ecological statistics involves combining data sources from multiple streams to improve population estimates. One such model attempts to integrate capture–recapture and presence–absence data to estimate the population size of ...

Small‐Scale Magnetic Soft Robots for Medical Applications: From Laboratory to Clinical Use

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Small‐scale magnetic soft robots are emerging as promising platforms for minimally invasive diagnosis and therapy in complex in vivo environments. This review compares untethered and tethered medical magnetic robots in parallel across five translational stages, from basic performance testing to clinical evaluation.

Bond‐slip modeling for reinforced concrete beam‐column joints with plain reinforcement bars: Insights from numerical validation

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract The previous seismic events indicated the vulnerability of old reinforced concrete (RC) structures against earthquakes due to the absence of seismic detailing and capacity design specifications in such buildings. In this context, beam‐column joints (BCJ) of the existing RC structures built before the 1970s have exhibited poor structural ...
