Animal Conservation, EarlyView.Reliable estimates of species distributions are crucial for understanding their conservation needs. Yet for many species, IUCN largely relies on expert‐drawn ranges, which are often inaccurate. Focusing on shieldtail snakes in peninsular India, we combined citizen science, literature, field, and museum records to create improved distribution maps for ...

Cladistics, EarlyView.Abstract Automated insect identification systems hold significant value for biodiversity monitoring, pest management, citizen science initiatives and systematic studies, particularly in an era of declining expertise in insect taxonomy. However, current deep learning approaches often rely on standardized specimen photos from limited‐angles and ...

The Devil is in the Tails: Fine-grained Classification in the Wild [PDF]
, 2017 The world is long-tailed. What does this mean for computer vision and visual recognition? The main two implications are (1) the number of categories we need to consider in applications can be very large, and (2) the number of training examples for most ...

Finding shield bug nymphs on iNaturalist
, 2023 Working on translating a key to the European shield bug nymphs (Puchkov, 1961) I thought I would look for pictures of the earlier life stages (nymphs, Fig. 1) of shield bugs (Pentatomoidea) on iNaturalist and found few observations actually had the life stage annotation.

Harnessing social media data to track species range shifts
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity monitoring programs and citizen science data remain heavily biased toward the Global North. Especially in megadiverse countries with limited biodiversity records, incorporating social media data can help address existing data gaps.

Estimating the total mortality of seabirds following a marine heat wave
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Marine heat waves detrimentally affect a range of marine species, including seabirds, and are increasing in frequency and severity. When thousands of dead seabirds wash up on beaches, the public becomes concerned. However, the number of dead birds recorded on beaches is only a fraction of the total mortality; most birds perish at sea.

Comparisons of Citizen Science Data-Gathering Approaches to Evaluate Urban Butterfly Diversity
Insects, 2018 By 2030, ten percent of earth’s landmass will be occupied by cities. Urban environments can be home to many plants and animals, but surveying and estimating biodiversity in these spaces is complicated by a heterogeneous built environment where ...
