Widespread Bomb Fishing in Indo‐Pacific Archipelago Revealed Through Machine Learning Accelerated Passive Acoustic Monitoring

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
AI‐accelerated passive acoustic monitoring reveals extensive bomb fishing within the Spermonde Archipelago, with annual incidents numbering in the thousands. ABSTRACT Bomb fishing is recognised as the most destructive fishing practice that can be performed in our oceans.

Repurposing Bird‐Based Acoustic Models for Amphibian Surveys: Strengths and Limitations in Real‐World Deployments

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed AnuraSearch, an open‐source classifier for 11 Ukrainian amphibian species, by repurposing the avian BirdNET algorithm via transfer learning to process over 18,000 h of autonomous acoustic recordings. Although the model demonstrated high precision and successfully reconstructed detailed seasonal and diel vocal activity ...

Electrification and Child Work: Direct and Spillover Effects in Ethiopia

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While electrification is often promoted for improving adults' labor supply, its effect on child work remains underexplored. Using four waves of Ethiopian panel data, we examine how electrification affects children's work time. By differentiating between households with and without own electricity access within electrified communities, we ...

Towards Responsible Mining in Africa: Problematising the Environmental and Public Health Concerns of Artisanal and Small‐Scale Gold Mining in Ghana

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There have been emerging media reports on the impact of cyanide and mercury use in artisanal and small‐scale gold mining (ASGM) operations on community health, especially among pregnant and non‐pregnant women, ASGM miners, and children in rural Africa.

Task‐Oriented Hierarchical Environment Modeling via Spatial Belonging Relationships for Domestic Service Robots

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Domestic service robots in dynamic homes often rely on memory‐intensive, quickly outdated 3‐D maps. This work presents HEMDSR, a four‐layer, task‐oriented model that reasons about object‐room and object‐object spatial belonging relationships, encodes observation viewpoints, and builds local 3‐D maps just‐in‐time.
