Design Patterns for the Development and Implementation of Bioacoustic Deep Learning Recognizers
This paper presents a set of design patterns for developing and integrating Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) recognizers in bioacoustic monitoring programs. Using a western toad case study, we illustrate solutions to common challenges in model development and workflow integration. These patterns provide a practical framework to improve the efficiency,

Abstract Automatic re‐identification of animals has significant potential to address pressing ecological and conservation challenges through improved population monitoring, individual health assessment and detailed behavioural analyses. Although numerous computer‐vision‐based solutions have been proposed and many achieve high accuracy, most remain ...

The spatial analysis of leopard cat scats and the grid for the Ecological and Natural Map in Korea
We revisited the confirmation points of the leopard cat scats surveyed in 2009 for forests around Gyejoksan. We analyzed the relationship between the total length of the walk route and the wild mammal trails, and the rate of rediscovery of the leopard ...

A well-known parable is that of the blind men studying an elephant each of which assert the elephant is the part they first hold in their hands, e.g., “rope!” says the tail holder while the leg holder asserts “tree!” The various subdisciplines of ecology

Ecoinformatics Problems of Global Climate Change
Climate is the average pattern of weather over the long term. The earth’s climate has warmed and cooled for millions of years, since long before people appeared on the scene. The unprecedented growth of interest in the problems of climate observed during the last decades has stimulated both scientific and applied developments which have considerably ...

Robust estimation of key leaf traits from reflectance spectroscopy of herbarium specimens
Abstract Community‐wide efforts to digitize herbarium specimens have facilitated novel uses of specimen data across scales. However, the need for destructive sampling has prevented large‐scale examination of foliar functional traits. We demonstrate that nondestructive reflectance spectra are an effective tool for estimating leaf traits from herbarium ...

Abstract Network analysis is a powerful framework for investigating complex systems across disciplines, including ecology. However, ecological network data are often incomplete or error‐prone due to sampling limitations, detection failures and taxonomic uncertainty—leading to missing (false negative) and spurious (false positive) links that obscure ...

Large Protected Areas Buffer Against Climate Change Effects on Bird Populations in Northern Europe
ABSTRACT Aim The conservation of species relies strongly on protected areas (PAs), but the current network of PAs is not sufficient to mitigate the biodiversity crisis. PAs are under constant pressure from the local and global climate and environmental changes.
