Counting animals in orthomosaics from aerial imagery: Challenges and future directions

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, Page 1051-1060, June 2025.
Abstract The use of drones to survey and monitor wildlife populations has increased exponentially. A common protocol used for data collection is planning flights with substantial overlap between successive photographs and lateral lines and then creating orthomosaics by merging the collected images.

A systematic comparative description of extant turtle humeri, with comments on humerus disparity and evolution based on fossil comparisons

The Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 11, Page 3437-3505, November 2024.
Abstract The humerus is central for locomotion in turtles as quadrupedal animals. Osteological variation across testudine clades remains poorly documented. Here, we systematically describe the humerus anatomy for all major extant turtle clades based on 38 species representing the phylogenetic and ecological diversity of crown turtles.
