PLoS ONE, 2019 Researchers and managers are often interested in monitoring the underlying state of a population (e.g., abundance), yet error in the observation process might mask underlying changes due to imperfect detection and availability for sampling.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Reliable abundance estimates provide essential information in ecology, conservation and management of many wild grouse populations. In this 3‐year study, we comparatively evaluate the suitability of traditional line transect distance sampling of flushed birds versus a spatial capture–recapture survey with noninvasive DNA samples for individual ...

The performance of drones and artificial intelligence for monitoring sage‐grouse at leks
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Accurately monitoring sage‐grouse populations is critical for conservation, yet traditional ground‐based visual surveys face challenges in scalability and consistency, prompting the exploration of innovative drone‐based methodologies enhanced by artificial intelligence.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Effective population size (Ne) is a useful parameter to evaluate the long‐term viability of populations. While obtaining enough field data from wild populations to estimate Ne directly is challenging, molecular techniques applied to non‐invasive samples provide an appealing alternative.

Fishers’ Local Ecological Knowledge (LEK) on Connectivity and Seascape Management
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 In developing countries where data and resources are lacking, the practical relevance of local ecological knowledge (LEK) to expand our understanding of the environment, has been highlighted. The potential roles of the LEK varies from direct applications

Investigating the reward cycle for play in young pigs [PDF]
, 2013 A reward cycle for investigating the emotional status in animals has been developed and it requires that animals go through three main phases, i.e. anticipation, consumption and relaxation.

Secants of minuscule and cominuscule minimal orbits [PDF]
, 2014 We study the geometry of the secant and tangential variety of a cominuscule and minuscule variety, e.g. a Grassmannian or a spinor variety. Using methods inspired by statistics we provide an explicit local isomorphism with a product of an affine space ...

Exploring marking methods for the predatory hoverfly Sphaerophoria rueppellii (Diptera: Syrphidae)
Insect Science, EarlyView.As important pollinators and predators of aphids, hoverflies play an important role in ecosystems. This study focuses on identifying the best marking technique for the model species Sphaerophoria rueppellii that can be used to track hoverfly feeding and oviposition sites, evaluating three methods: rubidium (RbCl), fluorescein, and fluorescent dusts ...
