1. Estimating the life histories and population dynamics of trees is important for predicting how forests respond to climate change disturbances. To do so, ecologist often use stage-structured models, which explicitly account individual heterogeneity. However, data needed parameterise these models typically constrained by time- labour-intensive field methods. 2. Despite growing access remote sensing imagery that could potentially satiate data-hungry remain underutilised in ecology. Here, we...
Human activities have caused rapid decline in biodiversity, with accelerating species extinction. Simultaneously, recent advancements artificial intelligence and autonomous systems offer transformative potential for biodiversity research. Unmanned vehicles—such as drones, ground robots, underwater robots—equipped high-resolution sensors enhance our ability to monitor ecosystems unprecedented efficiency scale. Here, we review studies published Web of Science (1930–2023) using unmanned...
Hundreds of thousands peer-reviewed articles and grey literature reports are published every year in ecology conservation biology. This ever-growing body knowledge presents new challenges. Indeed, it is becoming increasingly challenging for researchers to stay current on information identify gaps. Here, we argue that Large Language Models (LLMs) such as OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini offer a powerful yet accessible solution help overcome this challenge, LLMs require only effective prompt engineering...
Habitat structural complexity is an emergent property of ecosystems that directly shapes their biodiversity, functioning and resilience to disturbance. Yet despite its importance, we continue lack consensus on how best define complexity, nor do have a generalised approach measure habitat across ecosystems. To bridge this gap, here adapt geometric framework developed quantify the surface coral reefs apply it canopies tropical rainforests. Using high‐resolution, repeat‐acquisition airborne...
Abstract Accurately mapping and assessing plant functional composition across space time is pivotal for understanding environmental change impacts on the biodiversity functioning of forests. Here, we test capabilities a combination in-situ remote sensing approaches to deliver accurate estimates temperate forest ecosystems considering leaf stem morphological, nutrient, hydraulic, photosynthetic traits. We identify hydrological stress, soil, topography as key drivers Further, stress soil are...
1.A life history strategy, the collection of actions, timings and characteristics individuals employ to optimize fitness, represents evolutionary answer a species' ecological problems.From fatally reproductive salmon seemingly immortal jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii, different species have found vastly answers their problems, generating vast suite histories observed across animal kingdom.To explain this variation, theorists generated tested specific hypotheses describe variance define what...
