Thermal aerial culling for the control of vertebrate pest populations

Scientific Reports, 2023
Helicopter-based shooting is an effective management tool for large vertebrate pest animals. However, animals in low-density populations and/or dense habitat can be difficult to locate visually. Thermal-imaging technology can increase detections in these

Early detection of pine wilt disease tree candidates using time-series of spectral signatures

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by pine wood nematode (PWN), poses a tremendous threat to global pine forests because it can result in rapid and widespread infestations within months, leading to large-scale tree mortality.

Matching methods to produce maps for pest risk analysis to resources [PDF]

, 2013
Decision support systems (DSSs) for pest risk mapping are invaluable for guiding pest risk analysts seeking to add maps to pest risk analyses (PRAs). Maps can help identify the area of potential establishment, the area at highest risk and the endangered ...

Prioritizing the risk of plant pests by clustering methods : self-organising maps, k-means and hierarchical clustering [PDF]

, 2013
For greater preparedness, pest risk assessors are required to prioritise long lists of pest species with potential to establish and cause significant impact in an endangered area. Such prioritization is often qualitative, subjective, and sometimes biased,
