Passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) has emerged as a transformative tool for applied
ecology, conservation and biodiversity monitoring, but its potential contribution to …

For many habitat specialists, data deficiencies are directly attributable to the rugged terrain
they inhabit. Based on a recent survey effort for one such species, the threatened Yosemite …

Bioacoustics has become widely used in the study of acoustically active animals, and
machine learning algorithms have emerged as efficient and effective strategies to identify …

Monitoring population size at ecosystem scales is difficult for most species of conservation
concern. While assessing site occupancy at broad scales has proven feasible, rigorous …

Ecological disturbances are becoming more extensive and intensive globally, a trend
exemplified by 'megafires' and industrial deforestation, which cause widespread losses of …

The successful establishment of invasive populations is closely linked to environmental
factors. It is unclear whether coexisting species in the native area follow the same genetic …

Invasive predators can have detrimental impacts on native species and biological
communities through direct consumptive effects and indirect effects on trophic interactions …

Changing fire regimes in western North America have raised the possibility of widespread
loss of forest cover, making forest restoration a major priority. In one such ecosystem, the …

Biological surveillance at an invasion front is hindered by low population densities and,
among animals, high mobility of target species. Using the barred owl (Strix varia) invasion of …

Context Fire-adapted species have evolved to exploit resources in heterogenous
landscapes that presumably maximize energy acquisition and minimize energetic …
