Systematic conservation prioritization with the prioritizr R package. [PDF]

open access: yesConserv Biol
Abstract Plans for expanding protected area systems (prioritizations) need to fulfill conservation objectives. They also need to account for other factors, such as economic feasibility and anthropogenic land‐use requirements. Although prioritizations are often generated with decision support tools, most tools have limitations that hinder their use for ...

A new resource for monitoring reef ecosystems: The background of recreational diver photographs contains valuable habitat data

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 60, Issue 12, Page 2688-2698, December 2023., 2023
The background of underwater photographs from recreational divers contains valuable data that can be used to monitor habitat taxa that are typically under‐represented. To reduce the potential for bias we recommend restricting photographs to a single photographic subject (e.g.

A low‐cost, long‐running, open‐source stereo camera for tracking aquatic species and their behaviours

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, Page 2549-2556, October 2023., 2023
Abstract Ecologists are now widely utilising video data to quantify the behaviours and interactions of animals in the wild. This process can be facilitated by collecting videos in stereo, which can provide information about animals' positions, movements and behaviours in three‐dimensions (3D).

Bird species occupancy trends in Southeast Mexico over 1900–2020: Accounting for sighting record absences

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 92, Issue 3, Page 606-618, March 2023., 2023
This article accounts for species absences before occupancy analyses, addressing a long‐standing concern of whether absence is true or due to low sampling effort. The authors affiliate long‐term bird species trends with functional traits in a lowland tropical rainforest landscape in southeast Mexico to help guide land management and conservation ...

Prioritizing forest management actions to benefit marine habitats in data‐poor regions

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022
Abstract Land‐use change is considered one of the greatest human threats to marine ecosystems globally. Given limited resources for conservation, we adapted and scaled up a spatially explicit, linked land–sea decision support tool using open access global geospatial data sets and software to inform the prioritization of future forest management ...

Exploiting Light Directionality for Image‐Based 3D Reconstruction of Non‐Collaborative Surfaces

open access: yesThe Photogrammetric Record, Volume 37, Issue 177, Page 111-138, March 2022., 2022
The paper investigates the effect of light directionality and the fusion of multiple images to improve the quality of photogrammetric 3D reconstruction of complex surfaces (textureless and shiny). We present an image capturing system that utilizes multiple light sources to highlight roughness which is not visible in traditional diffuse images ...

Automated detection of frog calls and choruses by pulse repetition rate

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 35, Issue 5, Page 1659-1668, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Anurans (frogs and toads) are among the most globally threatened taxonomic groups. Successful conservation of anurans will rely on improved data on the status and changes in local populations, particularly for rare and threatened species.

SAVE YOUR INTERNET! The persuasion work of YouTube in the controversy over EU's digital market directive

open access: yesPolicy &Internet, Volume 17, Issue 2, June 2025.
Abstract The introduction of EU's Digital Market Directive, especially the so‐called Article 13, caused a lot of controversy. A varied assembly of actors protested, including Internet activists, academics, NGO's such as Wikipedia, and owners of platforms for user generated content. They feared regulations would stifle the distribution of user generated

Application of artificial intelligence to ultrasound imaging for benign gynecological disorders: systematic review

open access: yesUltrasound in Obstetrics &Gynecology, Volume 65, Issue 3, Page 295-302, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Objective Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being applied to ultrasound imaging in gynecology, efforts to synthesize the available evidence have been inadequate. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and evaluate the literature on the role of AI applied to ultrasound imaging in benign gynecological disorders ...
