Sizing mudsnails: Applying superpixels to scale growth detection under ocean warming by Liam MacNeil, Léa J. Joly, Maysa Ito, Anna Steinmann, Knut Mehler, Marco Scotti

“…We illustrate that image processing and segmentation workflows can be built upon existing open‐access R packages, underlining the potential for wider adoption of computer vision tools among ecologists. The image‐based approach also generated reproducible data products that, alongside our scripts, we have made freely available. …”

From beak to fruit: An Asian hornbill database for frugivory and seed dispersal research by Hanci Liang, Kim R. McConkey, Jun Ying Lim

“…To fill this crucial gap, we compiled a species-level database of plant-hornbill interactions in tropical Asia from primary sources throughout the literature; the database consisting of 2365 interaction records for 26 Asian and New Guinea hornbill species (out of the 32, or 80% of, species), a testament to the efforts of numerous hornbill biologists and ecologists. Fruits or seeds from 471 plant species, 240 genera and 84 families were reported to be consumed. …”

Is invasion science moving towards agreed standards? The influence of selected frameworks by John R. U. Wilson, Arunava Datta, Heidi Hirsch, Jan-Hendrik Keet, Tumeka Mbobo, Khensani V. Nkuna, Mlungele M. Nsikani, Petr Pyšek, David M. Richardson, Tsungai A. Zengeya, Sabrina Kumschick

“…For this to be achieved, we argue that frameworks in invasion science need to be revised or adapted to particular contexts in response to the needs and experiences of users (e.g., so they are relevant to pathologists, plant ecologists, and practitioners), the standards should be easier to apply in practice (e.g., through the development of guidelines for management), and there should be incentives for their usage (e.g., recognition for completing an EICAT assessment).…”

Mapping Species at an Individual-Tree Scale in a Temperate Forest, Using Sentinel-2 Images, Airborne Laser Scanning Data, and Random Forest Classification by Veerle Plakman, Thomas Janssen, Nienke Brouwer, Sander Veraverbeke

“…Detailed information about tree species composition is critical to forest managers and ecologists. In this study, we used Sentinel-2 imagery in combination with a canopy height model (CHM) derived from airborne laser scanning (ALS) to map individual tree crowns and identify them to species level. …”

Assessing bias in demographic estimates from joint live and dead encounter models by Mitch D. Weegman, Scott Wilson, Ray T. Alisauskas, Dana K. Kellett

“…Thus, practitioners with limited recapture data should not be discouraged from use of JE models. We recommend that ecologists incorporate other data types as frequently as analytically possible, since precision of focal parameters is improved, and additional parameters of interest can be estimated.…”
