Habitat-Net: Segmentation of habitat images using deep learning [PDF]
Ecological Informatics, 2018 ABSTRACT Understanding environmental factors that influence forest health, as well as the occurrence and abundance of wildlife, is a central topic in forestry and ecology. However, the manual processing of field habitat data is time-consuming and months are often needed to progress from data collection to data interpretation.

Habitat quality, not habitat amount, drives mammalian habitat use in the Brazilian Pantanal
Landscape Ecology, 2021 An understanding of species-habitat relationships is required to assess the impacts of habitat fragmentation and degradation. To date, habitat modeling in fragmented landscapes has relied on landscape composition and configuration metrics and the importance of habitat quality in determining species distributions has not been sufficiently explored.

Earliest Evidence of Marine Habitat Use by Mammals [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Abstract Evidence for the earliest invasion of the marine realm by mammals was previously restricted to Eocene (48.6-37.8 Ma) skeletal remains. We report incontrovertible ichnofossil evidence for brackish-water habitat use by at least two mammalian species in southern Wyoming during the late Paleocene (58 Ma).

Body condition and habitat use by Hermann's tortoises in burnt and intact habitats [PDF]
Conservation Physiology, 2014 In Mediterranean regions, fires threaten terrestrial tortoises. Nevertheless, varying proportions of adults survive fire; these surviving individuals can play a central role for population recovery. The regions devastated by fire often include important habitat of Hermann's tortoises (Testudo hermanni hermanni), so assessing the ability of survivors to
