Monitoring GPS‐collared moose by ground versus drone approaches: efficiency and disturbance effects
Efficient wildlife management requires precise monitoring methods, for example to estimate population density, reproductive success, and survival. Here, we compared the efficiency of drone (equipped with a RGB camera) and ground approaches to detect and observe GPS‐collared female moose Alces alces and their calves. We also quantified how drone (n = 42)

Aerospatiale is ready to develop a convertiplane with tethering rotors [PDF]
Information on the recent study of the convertiplane is reported. The convertiplane was designed to replace the conventional helicopter. Its speed is much faster than that of the helicopter, it uses less fuel, and can carry up to five passengers.

Resource managers require accurate estimates of large herbivore abundance and demography to maintain ecological integrity. Common methods to count these species, including observations from low altitude helicopter flights, may conflict with other protected area management objectives and struggle to produce precise estimates for more cryptic species. To

Effects of Leading Edge Radius on Stall Characteristics of Rotor Airfoil
The effects of leading edge radius on the static and dynamic stall characteristics of rotor airfoils are investigated. Initially, a parametric airfoil (PARFOIL) method is employed to generate four morphed airfoils with different leading edge radii based ...

Annual survival in a dynamic species: pronghorn survival patterns across their northern range
Quantifying variation in demographic patterns, such as survival and recruitment, is critical for understanding population dynamics and informing evidence‐based and adaptive wildlife management. In this study, we leverage an extensive dataset from over 1000 GPS collared pronghorn Antilocapra americana to provide the first large‐scale evaluation of ...
