DuckNet: an open‐source deep learning tool for waterfowl species identification in UAV imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 12, Issue 1, Page 113-128, February 2026.Using drones with thermal‐RGB sensors and a deep learning model (RetinaNet with ResNet‐50), we surveyed non‐breeding waterfowl across restored wetlands in the Mississippi Alluvial Valley. Our model, DuckNet, achieved high accuracy and offers an open‐source, customizable tool for automated waterfowl detection to support conservation monitoring ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 518-530, February 2026.Abstract Assessing the true dimension of biodiversity is a major challenge. Many species hide within them a diversity that is now being uncovered using molecular data. However, population genetic studies tend to be resource‐consuming and more difficult to apply to a broader range of taxa, limiting scalability.

Detection and succession properties of forested vernal pools with eDNA metabarcoding
Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.We examined the capacity of environmental DNA metabarcoding for studying biodiversity of forested vernal pools, using multiple assays to investigate different eukaryotic communities over space and time. Our results suggest that metabarcoding can serve as a complementary tool for ‘scaling up’ vernal pool biodiversity monitoring, illuminating ecological ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.The present study analyzes wildlife species use indices and a vulnerability in the Aledjo Wildlife Reserve (AWR) in Togo. The Importance Value‐in‐use Index (IVIUsp) indicates that the most valued species are the patas monkey (Erythrocebus patas), the forest cobra (Naja melanoleuca), and the green mamba (Dendroaspis viridis).
