Scale dependence in remotely sensed biodiversity: Leveraging continental‐scale imaging spectroscopy from the National Ecological Observatory Network

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Imaging spectroscopy enables large‐scale biodiversity assessment, yet spectral diversity metrics are scale dependent. Across 15 NEON ecosystems, we find that spectral richness increases sub‐linearly from 3600 m2 to 4 km2, whereas spectral divergence shows weak or inconsistent scaling with area, underscoring the importance of scale‐aware interpretation ...

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

Remote 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.

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,

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 ...

Regional Sustainable Economic Development in the Caribbean? A Discursive Inquiry

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Caribbean region is governed by several regional bodies. Among the more important organizations for small island states, where coral reefs and ocean conservation are paramount, is the Caribbean Community (CARICOM). Currently, the region is going through critical environmental changes that bring important vulnerabilities.

Tail wagging cats: Veterinary implications of AI‐generated video

Veterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Generative artificial intelligence (genAI) has the capacity to create realistic and convincing animal videos; however, it must simplify and reduce behavioural variation to do so, possibly leading to misinformation. Methods We categorised 29 videos in the press release for a specific video genAI engine. Twelve featured animals.

Twenty‐Five Years of the Environmental Stress Response and the Enduring Power of Yeast in Stress Biology

Yeast, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT All organisms must be able to sense and respond to adverse environments, especially those that threaten cellular integrity. The age of genomics clarified the breadth and specificity of cellular stress responses, including in free‐living microbes directly exposed to a changing environment.

Status of the coral reefs in Foul and Folly Bays, Morant Wetlands, south-eastern Jamaica, with emphasis on corals and macroalgae

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Foul and Folly Bays are located within the Morant Wetlands near the eastern tip of Jamaica. They have never been investigated but were believed to be important for larval productivity because of the extent of benthic habitats, absence of major coastal ...
