Ground‐based robotic remote sensing for standardized biodiversity monitoring in coastal habitats

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Illustrated workflow of the proposed citizen‐to‐robot monitoring pipeline: (i) expert‐validated citizen observations are translated into AI models, (ii) deployed on a ground‐based robotic platform for proximal sensing of coastal dune habitats, (iii) enabling standardized detection of ecological targets (e.g., Pancratium maritimum & Brithys crini), and (

Towards global data products of Essential Biodiversity Variables on species traits

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2018
Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) allow observation and reporting of global biodiversity change, but a detailed framework for the empirical derivation of specific EBVs has yet to be developed.

A Comparison of Mobile Laser Scanning Data Acquisition Methods in Closed Forest, Open Woodland and Sub‐Alpine Woodland Ecosystems

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that the mobile laser scanning (MLS) sampling density required to reliably characterise vegetation structure increases with a site's structural complexity. Applying a five‐level acquisition framework across open woodland, closed forest and sub‐alpine woodland ecosystems, we found that longer scanning paths increased the ...

Eight Years of Citizen Science Reveal Taxonomic Confusion Patterns and Dynamic Participation in the Monitoring of Vespa velutina in Spain

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The yellow‐legged hornet (Vespa velutina nigrithorax) is a successful invasive species in Europe, where its monitoring is partially reliant on citizen science (CS) initiatives. While CS is a powerful tool for early detection, taxonomic confusion and fluctuating participant engagement can limit its effectiveness.

Remote sensing in seagrass ecology: coupled dynamics between migratory herbivorous birds and intertidal meadows observed by satellite during four decades

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Taking into account trophic relationships in seagrass meadows is crucial to explain and predict seagrass temporal trajectories, as well as for implementing and evaluating seagrass conservation policies.

Long‐Term Population Declines of Habitat‐Shifting Species in the City: A Living Planet Index Approach for Berlin, Germany

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
We applied two global biodiversity indices at a city scale and revealed significant declines in odonate and amphibian populations in freshwater systems over several decades. Our study demonstrates the effectiveness of both indices as a baseline for fulfil urban‐related biodiversity framework targets if suitable biodiversity time series are available ...

Measuring what matters: operationalising biodiversity indicators for results-based CAP monitoring

Ecological Indicators
We address the challenge of monitoring biodiversity impacts of the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in agricultural landscapes, where ecological complexity and fragmented instruments have limited effectiveness.

Biodiversity Monitoring in Changing Tropical Forests: A Review of Approaches and New Opportunities

Remote Sensing, 2017
Tropical forests host at least two-thirds of the world’s flora and fauna diversity and store 25% of the terrestrial above and belowground carbon. However, biodiversity decline due to deforestation and forest degradation of tropical forest is increasing ...
