Efficient and Accurate Spatio‐Temporal Population Monitoring of Mobile Animals Using Drones and Computer Vision

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Drones and computer vision offer an efficient way to estimate animal populations over localized areas, but surveys often require stitching many overlapping images together. If animals move during the survey, traditional orthomosaic‐based counting methods become unreliable, with some animals appearing in multiple locations while others appear not at all,

Diversity of Symbiodiniaceae in 15 Coral Species From the Southern South China Sea: Potential Relationship With Coral Thermal Adaptability

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
It is well-known that the adaptability of coral-Symbiodiniaceae symbiosis to thermal stress varies among coral species, but the cause and/or mechanism behind it are not well-understood. In this study, we aimed to explore this issue based on zooxanthellae

A Tracking‐By‐Detection Framework to Automatically Count Rare and Elusive Megafauna in Aerial Video Surveys

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Monitoring programs of vulnerable megafauna increasingly rely on aerial surveys from drones or planes fitted with cameras. However, automated methods are still lacking to accurately count individuals across entire surveys. Here, we leverage a tracking‐by‐detection framework to not only detect individuals but also link the resulting detections across ...

Evolutionary radiation and microbial community dynamics shape the thermal tolerance of Fungiidae in the southern South China Sea

Microbiology Spectrum
Fungiidae have shown increased thermal adaptability in coral reef ecosystems under global warming. This study analyzes the evolutionary divergence and microbial communities of Fungiidae in the Sanjiao Reef of the southern South China Sea and explores the

High‐Resolution Satellite Imagery Reveals Landscape‐Scale Benthic Habitat Changes in a Turbid Coral Reef

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
High‐resolution satellite imagery and landscape metrics revealed a 77% decline in coral‐dominated habitats at Abrolhos Bank between 2010 and 2024, accompanied by macroalgal and zoanthid expansion. Spatial reorganisation indicates increasing fragmentation, homogenisation and loss of reef structural complexity.

Development of a coral and competitive alga-related index using historical multi-spectral satellite imagery to assess ecological status of coral reefs

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Understanding the characteristics of the growth zones of live corals and competitive algae, including turf algae and macroalgae, is crucial for assessing the degradation of coral reef ecosystems.

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.

Examining the Role of Economic Complexity and Climate Readiness in the Climate‐Fishing Nexus

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the climate‐fisheries association in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations from 1999 to 2022. A key objective is to explore the role of both the economic complexity index (ECI) and the climate readiness factor (READ) in the climate‐fishing nexus.
