Robotics‐assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape‐level biodiversity insights
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Deploying and maintaining sensors is often a major bottleneck in collecting rapid biodiversity data. We tested whether autonomous hopping drones equipped with acoustic recorders could collect reliable biodiversity data in Costa Rica. Using 26,000+ hours of existing audio from 341 sites, with machine learning detections of 19 bird species and spider ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.A comparison of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) model predictions of benthic habitats within Apollo Marine Park. The CNN (left) and RF (right) classification maps show the spatial distribution of three habitat types: high energy circalittoral rock with seabed‐covering sponges, low complexity circalittoral rock with non‐crowded

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Incorporating environmental DNA metabarcoding for improved benthic biodiversity and habitat mapping
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Seafloor imagery is commonly used to collect information about the distribution of benthic organisms in order to generate habitat and biodiversity maps. Recent advances in genomics (e.g., environmental DNA; eDNA) show potential to complement video surveys for habitat mapping, but there have been few examples testing this.

A Situational Analysis and an Action Strategy for the Circular Economy in the Textile Industry
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the transition from the traditional Linear Economy to the Circular Economy model, focusing on the Spanish textile industry. Given the sector's significant environmental impact, characterized by pollution, excessive water consumption, high waste generation, and the use of harmful materials, circularity emerges as a crucial ...
