Monitoring the species-specific sounds produced by insects could provide us with a rapid, reliable, non-invasive measure of tropical ecosystem health and biodiversity. Although acoustic biodiversity monitoring has made rapid progress over the past de...
Forecasting systems for harmful algal blooms (HABs) are becoming more common, as HAB monitoring is increasingly networked and aggregated at national and global scales. Ocean forecasting programs in other fields have had unintended consequences and ou...
The combination of autonomous recording units (ARUs) and machine learning enables scalable biodiversity monitoring. These data are often analysed using occupancy models, yet methods for integrating machine learning outputs with these models are rarel...
Marine eutrophication remains a pressing global environmental challenge, demanding urgent advances in science-based assessment frameworks to mitigate its ecological and socio-economic impacts. Current methodologies, however, face critical limitations...
Mangrove ecosystems are important in tropical and subtropical coastal zones, contributing to marine biodiversity and maintaining marine ecological balance. It is crucial to develop more efficient, intelligent, and accurate monitoring methods for mang...

Mapping and classifying the probability of occurrence of Populus tremula L. (aspen) in boreal forests is a complex task for sustainable forest management and biodiversity conservation. As a key broadleaved species in the taiga region, aspen supports ...
BACKGROUND: Capillariid nematode eggs have been reported in archaeological material in both the New and the Old World, mainly in Europe and South America. They have been found in various types of samples, as coprolites, sediments from latrines, pits,...
With human activities-derived escalating climate change and rapid urbanization, avian species face significant survival challenges. Understanding the impact of human activities and environmental drivers on avian species richness is critical for effec...
Historically, the extensive involvement of citizen scientists in palaeontology and archaeology has resulted in many discoveries and insights. More recently, machine learning has emerged as a broadly applicable tool for analysing large datasets of fos...
