Remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS, or ‘drones’ hereafter) have potential for surveying waterbird species and habitats, but there is a risk that the disturbance from drones could compromise count accuracy and bird welfare. We examined the re

Publikováno v: Ecosphere, Vol 9, Iss 5, Pp n/a-n/a (2018)

Abstract Increasingly complex research questions and global challenges (e.g., climate change and biodiversity loss) are driving rapid development, refinement, and uses of technology in ecology. This trend is spawning a distinct sub‐discipline, here

Machine learning algorithms are being increasingly used to process large volumes of wildlife imagery data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); however, suitable algorithms to monitor multiple species are required to enhance efficiency. Here, we deve

Animal-attached devices have transformed our understanding of vertebrate ecology. To minimize any associated harm, researchers have long advocated that tag masses should not exceed 3% of carrier body mass. However, this ignores tag forces resulting f

The secret life of possums: data loggers reveal the movement ecology of an arboreal mammal

Publikováno v: Journal of Mammalogy. 100:158-168

Understanding animal movement patterns is fundamental to ecology, as it allows inference about species' habitat preferences and their niches. Such knowledge also underpins our ability to predict how animals may respond to environmental change, includ
