This study determines optimal buffer sizes for African swine fever containment by analyzing wild boar movement patterns and environmental factors across Europe.

The paper evaluates alternative metrics for estimating wildlife population density using camera-trap data and finds that Space to Event (STE) provides reliable estimates in data-poor populations, while other metrics show weaker relationships.

The paper introduces deadtrees.earth, an open-access database of high-resolution aerial imagery to map global tree mortality using community-sourced data and machine learning.

The paper shows density increases network connectedness in wild animal populations, but effects saturate, with stronger spatial than social impacts.

This study examines individual variation in red deer behavioral plasticity to human recreation in Bavarian Forest National Park, finding that some deer respond with flight while others show little reaction.

The paper introduces the Global Canopy Atlas, a harmonized dataset of 3D canopy structure from ALS data, and demonstrates its applications in validating satellite maps, analyzing canopy gap patterns, and quantifying forest turnover.

The paper analyzes camera trap data to assess predator-prey interactions, finding that prey are not avoiding predators but wolves are attracted to prey, suggesting an asymmetry in the predation sequence.
