Modelling Growth of Juvenile Crown-of-Thorns Starfish on the Northern Great Barrier Reef

Diversity, 2016
The corallivorous crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) is a major cause of coral mortality on Indo-Pacific reefs. Despite considerable research into the biology of crown-of-thorns starfish, our understanding of the early post-settlement life stage

Assessing relational values of sacred landscapes through text mining of folktales: Insights from the Ryukyu Islands, Japan

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Assessing relational values of nature through its cultural and spiritual significance is crucial for effective nature conservation. Folktales offer insights into traditional relationships between people and nature, and text mining is a powerful tool for extracting information from textual datasets.

Using Deep Learning AI to Detect Riparian Vegetation Recovery Following a Major Flood in the Brisbane River

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Post‐flood riparian vegetation recovery demands significant attention; however, the complexity of traditional remote sensing methods often hinders environmental managers from implementing rapid vegetation monitoring. This paper developed a model using a Deep Learning Model within ArcGIS to classify and detect recovery of vegetation with high ...

Impact of parameterization in multiple acoustic index comparisons: practical cases in terrestrial and underwater soundscapes

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Parameter choices in acoustic analyses (sampling frequency, FFT size and window overlap) strongly influence multivariate soundscape separation. Using terrestrial and coral reef recordings, we show that these settings can exaggerate or mask ecological differences, emphasizing the need for parameter sensitivity testing and transparent reporting in ...

Automated object detection based on YOLOv11 for monitoring benthic population dynamics: A new approach combining photogrammetry and open‐source GIS tools applied to sea cucumbers

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This research established a new object detection model based on YOLOv11 to recognise benthic organisms, specifically sea cucumbers, by utilising high‐resolution photogrammetric‐based orthomosaics acquired along infralittoral Mediterranean Sea beds. The model demonstrated impressive performance metrics and, when combined with the Deepness plugin for the

Evaluating land–sea linkages using land cover change and coral reef monitoring data: A case study from northeastern Puerto Rico

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Land cover change that leads to increased nutrient and sediment runoff is an important driver of change in coral reef ecosystems. In this study, we combined satellite remote sensing and field monitoring to assess concomitant changes in watershed land cover and coral cover in northeastern Puerto Rico in 2000–2015.

The Ethical Dimensions of Climate Change: Rethinking Justice, Responsibility, and Collective Obligation

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the most profound ethical and existential challenges of the 21st century. Beyond its physical, economic, and environmental consequences, it raises fundamental moral questions about justice, equity, responsibility, and the right to a livable planet.

How spatial feedbacks between institutional and ecological patterns drive landscape dynamics in peri-urban commons

Ecology and Society
Rapid urbanization is a critical landscape transition that impacts biodiversity, ecosystem goods and services, and social sustainability. Urbanizing locations may follow different ecological trajectories, with very different consequences for future ...
