UAV‐Based Precision Seed Dropping for Automated Reforestation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wildfires and deforestation pose significant threats to forest ecosystems, motivating scalable methods for reforestation beyond labor‐intensive cultivation of native forest seedlings in nurseries. To enable large‐scale direct seeding of native species, this paper presents the design, analysis, and field evaluation of a UAV‐based seed‐dropping ...

The Return of the Allis Shad (Alosa alosa) to the Lower Navigable Reaches of the Seine: Locks Play a Role

River Research and Applications, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In France, it is estimated that shads (Alosa spp.) have lost 69% of their historical range, mainly due to disrupted river connectivity. After an absence of one century, signs of their return in the Seine River have been recorded over the past two decades: adult and juvenile specimens have been caught by anglers or recorded at video‐counting ...

Deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and improved YOLOv9 for efficient benthos detection: a case study at Lake Hamana, Japan

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a UAV‐based framework that integrates deep learning‐based super‐resolution reconstruction and an enhanced YOLO detector to improve centimetre‐scale benthic organism monitoring. Using hermit crabs in Lake Hamana, a coastal lagoon in Japan, as a case study, the method substantially enhanced small‐object detection performance ...

What If Cooking Isn't Chemistry? Examining the Good and the Harm in Metaphorical Connections Between Science and Everyday Activities

Science Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This theoretical paper examines why we make claims like “cooking is chemistry,” what these claims mean, and what good or harm they accomplish. We make three interrelated arguments: First, the relationship between scientific and everyday practices is more complicated and less obvious than is often claimed; second, educators and scientists link ...
