Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Recreational activities have been shown to induce fear responses in carnivores, causing both spatial and temporal displacement that can have cascading effects on the wider ecological community. Cougars Puma concolor are one species that are particularly sensitive to human disturbances as they have been found to be impacted by various forms of ...

Tabular and Deep Reinforcement Learning for Gittins Index [PDF]
arXivIn the realm of multi-arm bandit problems, the Gittins index policy is known to be optimal in maximizing the expected total discounted reward obtained from pulling the Markovian arms. In most realistic scenarios however, the Markovian state transition probabilities are unknown and therefore the Gittins indices cannot be computed. One can then resort to

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Although the Eurasian badger Meles meles is well known for occupying underground setts, badgers also use nests above ground. There is limited research as to how these above‐ground nests function within a badger territory and which behaviours and life stages they provide for social groups.

GIS Copilot: Towards an Autonomous GIS Agent for Spatial Analysis [PDF]
arXivRecent advancements in Generative AI offer promising capabilities for spatial analysis. Despite their potential, the integration of generative AI with established GIS platforms remains underexplored. In this study, we propose a framework for integrating LLMs directly into existing GIS platforms, using QGIS as an example.

Noise pollution as a major disturbance of avian predation in Amsterdam
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Trophic interactions play a key role in maintaining ecological balance. In urban environments, avian predation has been demonstrated to be particularly important due to its effects on community structure, pest control, and nutrient cycling. As humanity relies upon ecosystem services for sustenance, and with 70% of the global population projected to ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Raccoon dogs Nyctereutes procyonoides are on the List of National Key Protected Wild Animals as Grade II in China; research on their wild populations is limited despite their conservation significance. In this context, we focused on seasonal activity changes from autumn to winter and their relationship to environmental and mammalian factors.
