New paper out in @methodsinecoevol.bsky.social! 📷We present TropiCam-AI: a machine learning model that identifies 84 taxa of Neotropical arboreal mammals and birds from camera-trap images and videos. 🐒🦜 📃Paper → doi.org/10.1111/2041-210x.70213 🌐Project → github.com/andrewzamp/TropiCam-AI

I never got used to Rome, apparently neither did some birds! In our last work, we investigated how anthropogenic and environmental gradients shape avian assemblages with different tolerance to urbanization in Rome. Link: doi.org/10.1007/s109... #Ornithology #UrbanEcology #Ecology #Biodiversity 🌐

The BirdCast forecast map shows migration is very active tonight along the Mississippi and Atlantic Flyways. How? BirdCast analyzes data from weather radars to separate bird migration from other activity: non-biological (rain, hurricanes, etc.) and other biological (bats, insects).

The first paper of the "Urbis project" focusing on the urban ecosystem of Rome is out in Urban Forestry & Urban Greening! Here we characterize the urban landscape and propose a multiscale framework to better support urban biodiversity research and planning doi.org/10.1016/j.la...

Yeah, we get it—humans stress out wildlife 🐾. But how much? Do they find us insufferable equally? Not quite! Our meta-analysis explores how taxa, species traits, and disturbance type shape terrestrial vertebrates' glucocorticoid responses to human disturbance. Check it out! doi.org/10.1111/1365...

Glucocorticoid responses of wildlife to anthropogenic stressors are influenced by disturbance type and species traits

Real nice paper estimating density of rainforest animals w camera traps & comparing w secr & line transects. Great job thinking through all the details of these models. Community density estimates possible w cams but need >25 detections for decent precision link.springer.com/article/10.1...

🚨 New release: TetraDENSITY 2.0 database now features 54,300 population density estimates for 3,717 species of tetrapods! 🌍🐸🦎🦉🦧 Now also including marine species 🐋 check it out at doi.org/10.1111/geb....

A ‘how‐to’ guide for estimating animal diel activity using hierarchical models

We illustrate how hierarchical models can be used to estimate animal diel activity whilst accounting for variability in activity levels and sampling effort. These models also allow researchers to mor....

Great worflow and R package for any one working of ecological trait database !! by Elizabeth Wenk et al. in Ecological Informatics Nov. 2024 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... 🧪🌐🌍

Tough subject and some tough luck, but a far tougher team! Indeed a great collaboration, and I'm genuinely grateful for the unwavering support of @anabenlop.bsky.social, @lsantinieco.bsky.social, and David Costantini throughout every step of this study. Updates on the paper soon!

Ana Benítez@anabenlop.bsky.social · 2y ago

📣Paper accepted! Another great collab with @lsantinieco.bsky.social and wonderfully led by @davidemirante.bsky.social . More news when we get the doi!

Wildlife hates noisy neighbors as much as I do! Thrilled to announce my first paper, published online in GECCO! We explore how wildlife adjusts its spatio-temporal niche in the short term, to cope with human presence. Read it here! 👉https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gecco.2024.e03053
