Most animal species on Earth are insects, and recent reports suggest that their abundance is in drastic decline. Although these come from a wide range of insect taxa regions, the evidence to assess extent phenomenon sparse. Insect populations challenging study, most monitoring methods labor intensive inefficient. Advances computer vision deep learning provide potential new solutions this global challenge. Cameras other sensors can effectively, continuously, noninvasively perform...
Changes in insect biomass, abundance, and diversity are challenging to track at sufficient spatial, temporal, taxonomic resolution. Camera traps can capture habitus images of ground-dwelling insects. However, currently sampling involves manually detecting identifying specimens. Here, we test whether a convolutional neural network (CNN) classify ground beetles species level, estimate how correct classification relates body size, number inside genera, identity.We created an image database...
The Arctic is warming at twice the rate of rest world. This impacts species both directly, through increased temperatures, and indirectly, structural changes in their habitats. Species are expected to exhibit idiosyncratic responses change, which calls for detailed investigations community level. Here, we investigate how arthropod assemblages spiders beetles respond variation habitat structure small spatial scales. We sampled transitions shrub dominance soil moisture between three different...
Abstract Insects and other terrestrial invertebrates are declining in species richness abundance. This includes the associated with herbivore dung, which have been negatively affected by grazing abandonment progressive loss of large herbivores since Late Pleistocene. Importantly, traditional monitoring these is time‐consuming requires considerable taxonomic expertise, becoming increasingly scarce. In this study, we investigated potential environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding cow dung...
Amidst the global biodiversity crisis, identifying general principles for variation of remains a key challenge. Scientific consensus is limited to few macroecological rules, such as species richness increasing with area, which provide guidance conservation. In fact, agreed ecological apply at scale sites or reserve management, partly because most community‐level studies are restricted single habitat types and groups. We used recently proposed ecospace framework comprehensive data set...
Abstract Ecological processes and biodiversity patterns are strongly affected by how animals move through the landscape. However, it remains challenging to predict animal movement space use. Here we present our new r package enerscape quantify in real landscapes based on energy expenditure. integrates a general locomotory model for terrestrial with GIS tools order map costs of given environment, resulting that reflect expenditures may shape habitat only requires topographic data (elevation)...
