Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.We evaluated single‐ and multi‐sensor UAV approaches for classifying tree species and standing dead trees in boreal forests, focusing on key biodiversity indicators such as European aspen. Using spectral and structural features extracted from RGB, multispectral (MSP), and LiDAR point clouds for 1,205 field‐measured trees, we compared classification ...

Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Great Tit (Parus major) Nestlings Have Longer Telomeres in Old‐Growth Forests Than in Young Forests
Ecology and EvolutionModification and deterioration of old‐growth forests by industrial forestry have seriously threatened species diversity worldwide. The loss of natural habitats increases the concentration of circulating glucocorticoids and incurs chronic stress in ...

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.
