Unlocking the soundscape of coral reefs with artificial intelligence: pretrained networks and unsupervised learning win out

This paper demonstrates that pretrained neural networks and unsupervised learning effectively analyze coral reef soundscapes for ecological insights without manual annotation.

Introducing flocker: an R package for flexible occupancy modeling via brms and Stan

The paper introduces an R package called flocker for flexible occupancy modeling using brms and Stan, allowing for complex effects structures in ecological data analysis.

Validation of a novel immersive Virtual Reality setup with responses of wild-caught freely-moving coral reef fish

This study validates a novel immersive VR setup by analyzing the behavioral responses of convict surgeonfish to virtual stimuli, revealing their visual cue preferences during recruitment.

Biogeographic multi-species occupancy models for large-scale survey data

The paper introduces a biogeographic multi-species occupancy model (bMSOM) that improves predictive performance and reduces spatial bias by incorporating pre-existing range data into hierarchical models.
