Potential Impacts of Low Flows on Fish Foodscapes and Production in a Braided River
River Research and Applications, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Changes in river discharge affect the physical composition and connectivity of habitats which, in turn, may shape the spatial distribution of fish food abundance, accessibility and quality—the ‘foodscape’—of river ecosystems. However, the influence of river flows on fish foodscapes has received very little attention from scientists. We studied

A neural network architecture for implementation of expert systems for real time monitoring [PDF]
Since neural networks have the advantages of massive parallelism and simple architecture, they are good tools for implementing real time expert systems.

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...

Knee height is often right: evaluating device height effects on camera trapping rate
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Camera trap deployment height can introduce systematic biases in detection trapping rates across species of different body sizes. Combining 172 paired sampling points in five experiments across Europe, North America and Africa, our results show that low cameras significantly increase detections of small‐ and medium‐sized species, whereas high cameras ...

‘Reservoir dogs’: The emerging zoonotic risk associated with European dog imports to the UK
Veterinary Record, EarlyView.Abstract Background The movement of dogs from continental Europe to the UK poses a growing public health threat due to the associated risk of disease incursions. Current legislation is insufficient to address the risks and pre‐import control measures are focused only on rabies virus and the fox tapeworm Echinococcus multilocularis. Methods We conducted
