Developing a low‐cost drone‐based method for deploying and retrieving autonomous recording units in inaccessible areas

Akshit R. Suthar, Jared A. Elmore, Erin K. Buchholtz, Travis H. Folk et autres

Abstract Autonomous Recording Units (ARUs) are increasingly used in research to support passive acoustic monitoring, but deployment in remote or inaccessible locations remains logistically challenging. Traditional manual placement is labor‐intensive, time‐consuming, potentially hazardous, and often limited to habitat edges, creating sampling biases …

Window markers reduce bird–window collisions in a real-world application

Riley R. Lawson, Timothy J. O’Connell, Jared A. Elmore, Corey S. Riding et autres

Abstract Bird–window collisions are a top source of direct anthropogenic mortality for birds worldwide. Although there are many commercially available products designed to reduce bird–window collisions, relatively few studies have included replicated field testing of such products to assess their effectiveness in …

Same data, different analysts: variation in effect sizes due to analytical decisions in ecology and evolutionary biology

Elliot Gould, Hannah Fraser, Timothy Parker, Shinichi Nakagawa et autres

Although variation in effect sizes and predicted values among studies of similar phenomena is inevitable, such variation far exceeds what might be produced by sampling error alone. One possible explanation for variation among results is differences among researchers in the decisions they …

Monitoring active osprey nests with drones is more time efficient and less disturbing than conventional methods

Natasha K. Murphy, Jared A. Elmore, Melanie R. Boudreau, Brian S. Dorr et autres

Drones are used to monitor bird nesting sites at less accessible locations, such as on cliffs, human infrastructure, or within the tree canopy. While there are a growing number of studies documenting avian behavioral responses to various drones, there is a continued …

Heating decoys to mimic thermal signatures of live animals for drones

Landon R. Jones, Cerise Mensah, Jared A. Elmore, Kristine O. Evans et autres

Thermal sensors mounted on drones (unoccupied aircraft systems) are popular and effective tools for monitoring cryptic animal species, although few studies have quantified sampling error of animal counts from thermal images. Using decoys is one effective strategy to quantify bias and count …

Relief displacement of airborne objects

Joe Crumpton, Morgan B. Pfeiffer, Sathishkumar Samiappan, Jared A. Elmore et autres

The increasing availability of unoccupied aircraft systems (UAS, also referred to as drones) has led to their use in taking vertical aerial photographs at relatively small spatial scales. These photographs can be used to measure the distances between objects appearing in the …

Wildlife monitoring with drones: A survey of end users

Raymond B. Iglay, Landon R. Jones, Jared A. Elmore, Kristine O. Evans et autres

Abstract Rapid advancements in technology often yield research inquiry into novel applications and drone (i.e., unoccupied aircraft systems or UAS) applications in wildlife management are no exception. We questioned the time lag between drone‐related research and end‐user assessments. We implemented an online, …

Using drones equipped with thermal cameras to locate and count quail individuals and coveys: A case study using Northern Bobwhite Colinus virginianus in Mississippi, USA

Olivia Lappin, Jared A. Elmore, Landon R. Jones, Emma A. Schultz et autres

Abstract The presence and abundance of Northern Bobwhite Colinus virginianus often relies on imprecise methods (e.g. fall covey counts), which can lead to inaccurate estimates resulting in poor management practices. Drones equipped with thermal sensors have proven beneficial for monitoring wildlife but …

Drone noise differs by flight maneuver and model: implications for animal surveys

Erin N. Macke, Landon R. Jones, Raymond B. Iglay, Jared A. Elmore

Drones are becoming a common tool for animal monitoring; however, sound emitted from drones may disturb animals and bias survey results. Understanding noise levels produced by different flight maneuvers, altitudes (i.e., above ground level (AGL)), and drone models could mitigate animal disturbance …

Aerial Wildlife Image Repository for animal monitoring with drones in the age of artificial intelligence

Sathishkumar Samiappan, Damion Dehart, Landon R. Jones, Jared A. Elmore et autres

Drones (unoccupied aircraft systems) have become effective tools for wildlife monitoring and conservation. Automated animal detection and classification using artificial intelligence (AI) can substantially reduce logistical and financial costs and improve drone surveys. However, the lack of annotated animal imagery for training …
