Extra credit memes for my class are rolling in, and this one, is perfecto. by J. Rodriguez

Wow, was just in a meeting where a researcher was using AI to generate photos of animals in the style of camera traps, at night/day, forested/open, and then used those same photos to train a different AI to autodetect animal species. You can now generate huge training sets!

Diving into the audio from the African Wild Dog uMoth (audio) tags we put on tracking collars last year. Some events are super distinct - others less so. Here's the tail end of a successful wild dog hunt. 🦌

Combing through the audio data from our African wild dog collars & picked up a wild dog - hyaena interaction • The cacophony of noise is dogs eating • The whoop is a hyaena • Shortly after the dogs stopped feeding Hyeanas can often push dogs off a kill. Pups lose their meal?

Help! (again) Trying to download NASAEarthdata's MODIS burned area data so I can calculate the total burned area in each US county weekly from 2000 to the present For analyses looking at the impacts of fire on human-wildlife interactions 🔥Struggling. Any tips? #Tech4Wildlife

How AI is decoding the animal kingdom. Nice online paper in Financial Times. See also my interview on the topic: press.princeton.edu/ideas/nicolas-… Princeton University.

Curious about the use of GPU computing for massively faster fitting of statistical models (especially state-space models)? Nice paper by my fabulous PhD student Cal Fagard-Jenkin, with some "getting started" components. Paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.ecoi… Code github.com/calliste-fagar…

We are proud ICTA-UAB BCNUEJ to announce the release of The Green Divide at Ciné Maldà in El Gòtic, Barcelona, March 13th at 20h. Come join this free screening and discussion in Spanish/English with the filmmaker and participants

📯📯COME JOIN MY LAB📯📯 I am recruiting a PhD student to lead research on understanding how warming climates and parasites affect moose movement and population ecology in Utah (Based at QCNR at USU in collaboration with UtahDWR). Please share with others if you can!

Delighted that Arribada Initiative's engineering team are partnering with Rob Appleby to develop the ultimate drop-off device for wildlife tags, aptly named, the TimeLord! as recipients of a WILDLABS Community and Arm award ☄️⏲️

Congrats Leigh West on lead author in Journal of Animal Ecology! Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Fieldwork is a cornerstone of ecology and evolution; yet various systemic barriers can disadvantage those engaged long-term fieldwork research. Led by Kasim Rafiq , we propose strategies to overcome these challenges and support this critical avenue of scientific knowledge

We’re hosting a webinar about our UK call for proposals this Friday!

New paper out on different potential uses of generative AI in ecology, incl: - augmenting datasets - extending observations of ecology patterns - increasing accessibility of ecology data Super effort, including Meredith S. Palmer, Ph.D., Sara Beery & others. nature.com/articles/s4155…
