Need for establishing integrated programs to monitor endocrine active compounds [PDF]

, 2017
Environmental monitoring programs on endocrine active compounds (EACs) have been used to document the level of exposure and to assess the possible association to the occurrence of developmental and reproductive disorders in wildlife. The establishment of

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

A mosaic of microclimates: biodiversity outcomes and wildlife habitat potential in large‐scale solar facilities

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The rapid global expansion of photovoltaic (PV) solar facilities, now comprising nearly 80% of the recent and projected growth of renewable electricity, represents one of the most significant land‐use changes of the 21st century. While PV facilities are critical for decarbonising energy systems, their large spatial footprint and infrastructure

Seismic savanna: machine learning for classifying wildlife and behaviours using ground‐based vibration field recordings

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, 2022
We develop a machine learning approach to detect and discriminate elephants from other species, and to recognise important behaviours such as running and rumbling, based only on seismic data generated by the animals.

The evidence base for ranger patrol effectiveness in conservation and how to improve it

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ranger patrols are a cornerstone of wildlife protection efforts around the world and occur across all ecological governance systems. Evidence that patrols reduce threats to wildlife and enable their recovery has not been systematically examined previously.

Exploiting Depth Information for Wildlife Monitoring

, 2021
Camera traps are a proven tool in biology and specifically biodiversity research. However, camera traps including depth estimation are not widely deployed, despite providing valuable context about the scene and facilitating the automation of previously laborious manual ecological methods.

Surveying Wildlife in the Chilterns [PDF]

, 2014
This guide grew out of a series of workshops for volunteers within the Chilterns Commons Project. It focuses on surveying wildlife on particular sites, such as the Chiltern commons, rather than surveying across the wider landscape, but we hope that the ...
