Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.This research paper investigates the efficacy of leading machine learning (ML) models for detecting and identifying ungulate species in African savanna using nadir imagery from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Traditional aerial counting methods, while widely used, suffer from significant limitations in accuracy and precision, in part due to human ...

Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain
Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

Distributed Formation Control for Heterogeneous Robot Systems Based on Competitive Mechanism
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper presents an adaptive formation control method for a heterogeneous robot swarm, utilising a multilevel formation task tree to model various types of formation tasks and a single‐state distributed k‐winner‐take‐all (S‐DKWTA) algorithm to address the MRTA problem.

Dynamic Adaptive Label Assignment for Tiny Object Detection in Remote Sensing Images
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT With the development of unmanned aerial vehicle and satellite technology, the application of tiny object detection in remote sensing images is becoming increasingly widespread. Although significant progress has been made in the accuracy and speed of object detection in recent years, performance declines sharply when general object detectors ...

Two orders of wall‐to‐wall geographic data
Area, EarlyView.Short Abstract The use of the term ‘wall‐to‐wall’ to describe geographically extensive data without any singular definition in the remote sensing and geographically related analysis. This work presents an assessment of the application of the term in the scientific literature. Abstract From personal observations of recent published works, the term “wall‐

Locating nests of endangered bumble bees: Lessons from field trials in northern Germany
Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.Tracking bumble bees to find their nests using coloured strips of paper stuck to their thorax proved to be the most suitable method, while radio transponders were too heavy. Tracking times of up to 2 h and distances of up to 800 m were achieved with strips of pink craft tissue paper.

When Numbers Mean Money: Pest Precision Sampling in High‐Density Mango Crops
Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The development of sampling plans is essential for assertive decision‐making in integrated pest management programs. The present study aimed to develop a plan for monitoring major mango pests in high‐density mango crops in Brazil. For this purpose, the influence of the position of the branch to be sampled in the canopy (internal and external ...

Breeding 5.0: Artificial intelligence (AI)‐decoded germplasm for accelerated crop innovation
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Crop breeding technologies are vital for global food security. While traditional methods have improved yield, stress tolerance, and nutrition, rising challenges such as climate instability, land loss, and pest pressure now demand new solutions.

Wireless Communications with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)
, 2019 Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) or the so-called drones are increasingly used in many applications thanks to their rapid and cost-effective deployments. UAVs can be used as complementary infrastructure to provide wireless services for the ground users or they may require wireless connectivity from the ground for a safe and reliable operation. For these,
