Abstract The establishment of protected areas (PAs) is a central strategy for global biodiversity conservation. While the role PAs in protecting habitat has been highlighted, their effectiveness at mammal communities remains unclear. We analyzed dataset from over 8671 camera traps 23 countries on four continents that detected 321 medium‐ to large‐bodied species. found strong positive correlation between taxonomic diversity and proportion surveyed area covered by scale ( β = 0.39, 95%...
Human disturbance directly affects animal populations and communities, but indirect effects of on species behaviors are less well understood. For instance, may alter predator activity cause knock-on to predator-sensitive foraging in prey. Camera traps provide an emerging opportunity investigate such disturbance-mediated impacts across multiple scales. We used camera trap data test predictions about behavior three ungulate (caribou
Management activities such as law enforcement and community outreach are thought to affect conservation outcomes in protected areas, but their importance relative intrinsic environmental characteristics of the parks extrinsic human pressures surrounding have not been explored. Furthermore, it is clear which more related outcomes-the management itself or local people's perceptions management. We measured objective (reports by park staff) subjective people) levels based on responses 374...
High-resolution remotely sensed images poses a challenge for commonly used semantic segmentation methods such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT). CNN-based struggle with handling high-resolution due to their limited receptive field, while ViT faces challenges handle long sequences. Inspired by Mamba, which adopts State Space Model (SSM) efficiently capture global information, we propose framework images, named Samba. Samba utilizes an encoder-decoder...
Abstract Reliable maps of species distributions are fundamental for biodiversity research and conservation. The International Union Conservation Nature (IUCN) range widely recognized as authoritative representations species’ geographic limits, yet they might not always align with actual occurrence data. In recent area habitat (AOH) maps, areas that have been removed from IUCN ranges to reduce commission errors, but their concordance also remains untested. We tested between occurrences...
Deep learning methods, especially Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Vision Transformer (ViT), are frequently employed to perform semantic segmentation of high-resolution remotely sensed images. However, CNNs constrained by their restricted receptive fields, while ViTs face challenges due quadratic complexity. Recently, the Mamba model, featuring linear complexity a global field, has gained extensive attention for vision tasks. In such tasks, images need be serialized form sequences...
Modification and degradation of habitats outside the boundaries a national parkmay result in park's integrity being compromised. Thus, present study aims todocument variation freshwater fish water quality tropical forest streams adjacent to western boundary Kinabalu Park, Sabah. Concurrently, samplesand environmental parameters were collected at six stations covering total streamline length 10 km. The three most abundant species Tor tambra (34.4%), Barbodes sealei (19.5%), Lobocheilos ovalis...
