Detecting Plateau Zokor (Eospalax baileyi) Mounds in UAV Imagery of Alpine Meadows Using Deep Learning Algorithms

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We developed PZM‐YOLO to automatically detect plateau zokor mounds in UAV imagery of alpine meadows. The model achieved reliable detection of small and densely distributed mounds under complex backgrounds, outperforming the baseline YOLOv5s. This framework supports mound counting, mound position, rodent impact assessment, and grassland restoration ...

Passive Acoustic Identification of Social Groups in the Hainan Gibbon

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Passive acoustic monitoring offers a non‐invasive means of assessing visually hard‐to‐survey wildlife species with distinctive vocalizations. We evaluated whether deep learning can identify Hainan gibbon (Nomascus hainanus) social groups from their calls.

Paradigms and Principles for Integrating Nature Technology Data: Challenges, Opportunities, and Next Steps in Real‐World Biodiversity Monitoring

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We propose a set of paradigms (survey design, tip and cue, validation, consilience, interpolation and extrapolation, and data fusion) and prioritize a set of principles (metadata standards, use rights and licensing, scientific rigor, and utility) as the foundations of an actionable framework for nature technology data integration. We then analyze seven

One Size Does Not Fit All—Ignoring Spatial Variation in Occupancy and Detectability Underestimates the Required Number of Camera Trap Sites

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Camera trap occupancy studies often rely on simple rules of thumb that assume constant occupancy and detection across sites. Using simulations, we show that accurate occupancy estimates require 10–40 sites with no spatial variation, 20–120 with simple variation and 40–600 with complex spatial structures.
