Resumption of traditional drive hunting of dolphins in the Solomon Islands in 2013 [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2015
The ‘drive hunting’ of dolphins has a long history in the Solomon Islands, specifically at the island of Malaita. In 2010, the most active village, Fanalei, suspended hunting in exchange for financial compensation from an international non-governmental ...

Comparing convolutional neural network and random forest for benthic habitat mapping in Apollo Marine Park

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Concussed: Unintended Consequences of the Guardian Cap Mandate in the NFL

Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Guardian Caps are padded shells worn over American football helmets to cushion impacts and reduce concussion risks. In 2022, the NFL mandated their use for specific position groups during preseason practices, later expanding this requirement. While the league praised the Caps for enhancing player safety, skeptics argue they may promote riskier

“There is a Place for Us Here”: Exploring Sex, Gender, Reproduction, Sexual Behavior, and Orientation Narratives Supporting Students With Queer Genders in Biology Courses

Journal of Research in Science Teaching, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Queer undergraduates describe a climate in STEM fields and classrooms that is both hostile to and silent on queer identities, leading to experiences of social exclusion, devaluation as a scientist, and discrimination. In the few studies that have specifically focused on trans and non‐binary undergraduates (i.e., students with queer genders ...

Social information about others' affective states in a human‐altered world

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Faced with anthropogenic change, animals now encounter challenges different from their evolutionary past. To cope with such challenges, animals may use social information about others' affective states to guide their decisions. Considering affective states of wild animals could have important implications for animal welfare and wildlife conservation ...
