Machine learning-based mapping of Acidobacteriota and Planctomycetota using 16 S rRNA gene metabarcoding data across soils in Russia.

Scientific reports
The soil microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting sustainable agriculture. Studying its biogeographical structure and distribution is essential for understanding the rates and mechanisms of microbially mediated...

Enhancing aquatic ecosystem monitoring through fish jumping behavior analysis and YOLOV5: Applications in freshwater fish identification.

Journal of environmental management
Traditional fish monitoring methods suffer from limited continuity and significant uncertainty in tracking population distribution. This study develops recognition rules using the inherent variability in fish jumping behavior, influenced by habitat d...

Benthic communities on restored coral reefs confer equivalent aesthetic value to healthy reefs.

Scientific reports
Coral reefs are valuable ecosystems that provide diverse ecosystem services to people. For example, many reefs have exceptionally high tourism value, attracting visitors to experience their ecologically and visually rich reef habitat. However, human-...

Drivers of fish diversity and size spectra across lagoonal habitats of the Toliara reef system (SW Madagascar).

Marine environmental research
Size-spectra and taxonomic diversity are important indicators to study the dynamics of communities and to inform conservation in aquatic ecosystems. To date, few studies aimed at modelling the distribution of reef fish diversity at small spatial scal...

Monitoring temporal changes in large urban street trees using remote sensing and deep learning.

PloS one
In the rapidly changing dynamics of urbanization, urban forests offer numerous benefits to city dwellers. However, the information available on these resources is often outdated or non-existent, leading in part to inequitable access to these benefits...

Enhanced hermit crabs detection using super-resolution reconstruction and improved YOLOv8 on UAV-captured imagery.

Marine environmental research
Hermit crabs are vital to coastal ecosystems, serving as environmental health indicators and contributing to seed dispersal, debris cleanup, and soil disturbance. Traditional hermit crabs survey methods, like quadrat sampling, are labor-intensive and...

Tracking the spatial and temporal evolution of salt marsh vegetation based on UAV sampling and seasonal phenology from Landsat data.

Journal of environmental management
Salt marshes, valued for their ecological importance, have been increasingly degraded in recent decades. Preserving salt marshes necessitates a critical approach that involves monitoring vegetation distribution and species composition. This study pre...

Bio-inspired robotics in times of ecological crisis: an attempt at self-criticism.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This article attempts to show that current trends in bio-inspired robotics research are incompatible with the transformations needed to address the current ecological crisis. A large part of the scientific community takes refuge behind short-term cha...

Past and Present in the Ecological Connectivity of Protected Areas Through Land Cover and Graph-Based Metrics.

Environmental management
Habitat reduction is significantly threatening biodiversity, making ecological connectivity which facilitates species movement across habitat patches, essential for human impacts mitigation, promoting genetic exchange, and enabling colonization of ne...

Classifying the seascape of eastern tropical pacific based on physicochemical variables.

Marine environmental research
The Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) is a highly environmentally heterogeneous ocean with high biological richness and endemism. Capturing and structuring this variability through a classification into seascapes is essential to support ecological resea...
