Quality Assurance Framework for the Design, Collection and Curation of Standard Data Products From a Distributed Ecology Network

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
Ecological data are increasingly collected by networks of collaborators using replicated designs and methods, which can significantly improve the quality and quantity of data throughout the ecological niche and geographic range of species or communities.

Design Patterns for the Development and Implementation of Bioacoustic Deep Learning Recognizers

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
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,

RAPID: Real‐time animal pattern re‐identification on edge devices, an open‐source tool for field deployment

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2379-2394, August 2026.
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

open access: yesJournal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2019
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 ...

Allometric Trophic Networks From Individuals to Socio-Ecosystems: Consumer–Resource Theory of the Ecological Elephant in the Room

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020
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

open access: yes, 2015
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

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2364-2378, August 2026.
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 ...

sabinaHSBM: An R package for link prediction and network reconstruction using hierarchical stochastic block models

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2285-2294, August 2026.
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

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
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.
