Comparing Drone and Vessel‐Based Imaging to Quantify Epibiont Coverage on Humpback Whales
ABSTRACT Cetacean epibionts offer noninvasive insights into host health, physiology, and spatial ecology, yet quantitative assessments in wild populations remain scarce. Although vessel‐based observations may be limited by field of view and analyst input, unoccupied aerial vehicles (UAVs; drones) are increasingly used to monitor cetacean health indices,

Abstract Accurate monitoring of eider duck populations in Arctic Canada is essential for understanding ecosystem health and supporting conservation efforts in a rapidly changing climate. Traditional manual counting from aerial imagery is time‐consuming, labor‐intensive, and prone to observer bias.

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

Effects of a Catastrophic Debris‐Flow on a Coastal Salt Marsh
Debris‐flows are extreme events that can occur when wildfire is followed by heavy precipitation. Although debris‐flow effects are primarily assessed in montane systems, here, we document the downstream physical and biological impacts of a debris‐flow in a coastal salt marsh.

Biodiversity is threatened by human activities, with extinction debt accumulating rapidly. Many of these activities change the connectivity of populations, fragmenting existing population systems or bringing previously isolated populations or species into contact.
