Camera traps and deep learning enable efficient large‐scale density estimation of wildlife in temperate forest ecosystems

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We tested the effect of using a readily available deep learning algorithm for animal species classification on the population density estimates of eight wild mammal species in 10 protected areas (Da). In general, there were no significant differences to the manual estimates (Dm) for all animal species and seasons.

Cameras do not always take a full picture: wolf activity patterns revealed by accelerometers versus road‐positioned camera traps

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera traps have become an increasingly popular non‐invasive alternative to animal‐attached devices for studying wildlife behaviour. This study compared wolf (Canis lupus) activity patterns derived from collar accelerometers and road‐positioned camera traps and revealed strong overall agreement but also important seasonal and diel mismatches between ...

Applying allometric scaling to predator-prey systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In population dynamics, mathematical models often contain too many parameters to be easily testable. A way to reliably estimate parameters for a broad range of systems would help us obtain clearer predictions from theory.

A Study of Population Size and Activity Patterns and Their Relationship to the Prey Species of the Eurasian Lynx Using a Camera Trapping Approach

open access: yesAnimals, 2019
Revealing the behavioral relationships between predators and their prey is fundamental in understanding the community structure and ecosystem functions of such animals.

Electrospun PAN Membrane Loaded with AgInP2Se6 Nanosheets for Triboelectric Energy Harvesting

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Exfoliated AgInP2Se6 nanosheets are incorporated into a polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polymer matrix by electrospinning and applied for the first time in a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG). The hybrid membrane delivers strong electrical output and exhibits reversible humidity sensitivity, responding rapidly to changes in relative humidity.

Status of the Eurasian lynx (Lynx lynx) in the Italian Alps: an overview 2000–2004

open access: yesActa Biologica Slovenica, 2006
To assess the status of lynx we analysed lynx signs of presence within the Ital- ian Alps from 2000–2004. A total of 411 signs of lynx presence have been collected, compared to 261 signs during the previous pentad. Lynx tracks were the most frequent sign

Modelling the surprising recolonisation of an understudied aquatic mammal in a highly urbanised area: fortune favoured the smooth‐coated otter in Singapore

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Ever‐growing human activities present an active and continuing threat to many species throughout the world. Nevertheless, concerted conservation efforts in some regions have balanced these threats and allowed endangered species to recolonise former parts of their original ranges and reverse their decline.

The diet of the lynx Lynx lynx in Norway

open access: yesFauna norvegica, 1980
Stomach content analyses show that roe deer Capreolus capreolus and reindeer Rangifer tarandus constitute the most important food for the lynx Lynx lynx in Norway, particularly during winter. Other important prey items are hares and tetraonids. A change in the diet of females occurs around December towards a higher proportion of cervids.
