Studying collective animal behaviour with drones and computer vision

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, Page 2229-2259, October 2025.
Abstract Drones are increasingly popular for collecting behaviour data of group‐living animals, offering inexpensive and minimally disruptive observation methods. Imagery collected by drones can be rapidly analysed using computer vision techniques to extract information, including behaviour classification, habitat analysis and identification of ...

Assessing the success of conservation translocation establishment: Post‐translocation demography of Nubian giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis camelopardalis) in Uganda

Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2025.
Conservation translocations are crucial for restoring and bolstering wild populations of species that are either extirpated or rapidly declining. Evaluating their success requires understanding population ecology metrics and conducting long‐term monitoring, yet outcomes are often underreported.

A framework for fast, large‐scale, semi‐automatic inference of animal behaviour from monocular videos

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, Page 1966-1982, September 2025.
Abstract An automatic, quick, accurate and scalable method for animal behaviour inference using only videos of animals offers unprecedented opportunities to understand complex biological phenomena and answer challenging ecological questions. The advent of sophisticated machine learning techniques now allows the development and implementation of such a ...

Feral horses at the city gate: ecological insights and rewilding opportunity

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 4, May 2025.
Using motion‐sensitive cameras, we monitored the spatial and temporal distribution of the feral horse population in the La Calvana Natura 2000 site in central Italy. We estimated that the population was growing and horses were present in 40% of the sampled area.

First report of multinodular pulmonary fibrosis associated with equine herpesvirus 5 in Belgium [PDF]

, 2010
A 20-year-old horse was evaluated for symptoms of weight loss, anorexia, fever and lethargy. Clinical examination revealed tachypnea, poor body condition and increased breath sounds on auscultation. Ultrasound showed multiple consolidations on the lungs.

The Seasonality of Serum Insulin Concentrations in Equids and the Association With Breed, Age, and Sex

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Current laboratory reference values for serum insulin concentrations do not account for seasonal fluctuations and differences associated with breed, sex, and age. Hypothesis We hypothesized that serum insulin concentrations would differ with the season, breed, sex, and age. Animals Laboratory records from 21 236 cases. Methods Cases
