With the booming development of information technology and the growing demand for
remote sensing data, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing technology has …

The use of drones to study marine animals shows promise for the examination of numerous
aspects of their ecology, behaviour, health and movement patterns. However, the responses …

Marine mammals can play important ecological roles in aquatic ecosystems, and their
presence can be key to community structure and function. Consequently, marine mammals …

Recent advances in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or drones, have made them able to
communicate and collaborate, forming flying ad hoc networks (FANETs). FANETs are …

Given the recent trend towards establishing very large marine protected areas (MPAs) and
the high potential of these to contribute to global conservation targets, we review outcomes …

Abstract Machine learning algorithms are being increasingly used to process large volumes
of wildlife imagery data from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); however, suitable algorithms …

The way an animal behaves in its habitat provides insight into its ecological role. As such,
collecting robust, accurate datasets in a time-efficient manner is an ever-present pressure for …

Estimating population abundance is central to many ecological studies and important in
conservation planning. Yet the elusive nature of many species makes estimating their …

Assessments of individual animal health alerts to early signs of population level effects in
wildlife but often rely on logistically complex wild animal captures, hindering our …

Data and information obtained from low-cost uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly
referred to as 'drones', can be used to support integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) …
