Synergistic effects of environmental factors on benthic diversity: Machine learning analysis.

Water research
This study examines the water environmental factors of the Cangshan stream and benthic animal communities by using random forest, gradient boosting decision tree, and support vector machine models to analyze the complex response mechanisms of benthic...

A comparison of statistical methods for deriving occupancy estimates from machine learning outputs.

Scientific reports
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...

Temporal variability in temperate mesophotic ecosystems revealed with over a decade of monitoring with an autonomous underwater vehicle.

Marine environmental research
Rocky reef temperate mesophotic ecosystems (TMEs) are increasingly recognised for their spatial extent and high biodiversity. Platforms such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) allow large-scale collection of benthic imagery, facilitating descri...

Assessment of marine eutrophication: Challenges and solutions ahead.

Marine pollution bulletin
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...

An Approach for Detecting Mangrove Areas and Mapping Species Using Multispectral Drone Imagery and Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Spatial and temporal classification and prediction of aspen probability in boreal forests using machine learning algorithms.

Environmental monitoring and assessment
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 ...

Capillariid diversity in archaeological material from the New and the Old World: clustering and artificial intelligence approaches.

Parasites & vectors
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,...

Identifying the combined impact of human activities and natural factors on China's avian species richness using interpretable machine learning methods.

Journal of environmental management
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...

Making sense of fossils and artefacts: a review of best practices for the design of a successful workflow for machine learning-assisted citizen science projects.

PeerJ
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...

Exploring the impact of land use on bird diversity in high-density urban areas using explainable machine learning models.

Journal of environmental management
Amid rapid urbanization, land use shifts in cities globally have profound effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. Birds, as a crucial component of urban biodiversity, are highly sensitive to environmental changes and often serve as indicator species ...
