Wild Boar in 3D 🐗 Depth Anything 3 transforms 2D camera trap images into measurable 3D space: → Automated metric measurements → Distance sampling without markers → Morphometrics without invasive field work Game-changer for wildlife monitoring! Code: depth-anything-3.github.io #AI #tech4wildife

Hosting my first #TED at #TEDAI Vienna: Discovering the Hidden World of Invasive Plant Species with AI (I had to smuggle some invasive plants into the Hofburg, Vienna ;-)

New paper out: How AI could enhance biodiversity in energy planning? We analyzed wind projects in Austria - found huge data gaps in environmental assessments. AI-supported biodiversity monitoring (bioacoustics, camera traps, eDNA) could change the game. doi.org/10.1080/14615517.2025.2538951

Guess the beach ;-)

A monumental taxonomy unification effort has just been published - thanks to all those who've collaborated for years to make this happen! birdsoftheworld.org/bow/news/avi...

Passen Vögel ihre Gesänge an den Verkehrslärm an? Mehr über die faszinierende Welt der Akustik erfahren Sie bei einem Open House am internationalen Tag gegen Lärm am 30. April am Institut für Schallforschung der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. www.oeaw.ac.at/news/wie-die...

Brogi: wolves kill fallow deer, then only return to eat 3% of carcass. Wild boars eat 80% of what's left. For those still unaware of how wolves in Europe are different from those in North America, check Fig. 1: this is happening 3 km from the leaning tower! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Do you use 3D imaging like CT or MRI for research, teaching, outreach, or art? Check out our new article featuring a detailed workflow for producing 3D cinematic renderings―from tissue-level to whole-organism details―with stunning realism! doi.org/10.1016/j.is... @helsinkiuni.bsky.social

Running #Deepseek with its Multimodal model Janus-Pro-7b locally is really crazy. I show this camera trap picture and ask: "Explain this picture. What animal species do you see?" See the answer in the follow up post. #tech4wildlife

New paper out @science.org shows that bats surf warm storm fronts to power continental migrations 🌀⛈️🦇🤙 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... By Edward Hurme; Ivan Lenzi; Martin Wikelski; Timm Wild; and Dina Dechmann

Last season we opened our first bioacoustics exhibition in the schlossORTH National Park Centre at the Donau-Auen National Park. @puschmann.bsky.social designed the wonderful exhibition. You might hear and feel the sounds of fish, bats, birds and insects. #tech4wildlife puschmann.studio/Donau-Auen

Good one. (Inserat in der Sonntags-Kleinen)

Könnt ihr mir erklären wo ihr neuen Follower alle herkommt? Habe ich etwas verpasst?

Nice to see our underwater research covered. #tech4wildlife

Diese Woche im Radio:

Finally we got our #SilentCities dataset published! With 261 colleagues around the globe we collected audio when human isolation during the #covid19 pandemic had drastically changed the #soundscape of the urban ecosystem. Birds vs cars #tech4wildlife www.nature.com/articles/s41...

New letter: Artificial Intelligence will change the field of Environmental Assessment – but are we ready for it? What are the risks involved and what do we need to harness its power to help overcome the challenges of biodiversity and habitat loss? #AI #biodiv #EA www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Thanks to Phil Atkin we have our first pi-pistrelle time-expanding bat detectors running! Ready for some ultrasonic adventures. #tech4wildlife

Was fliegt morgen noch mit den Böllern durch die dunkle Nacht? Auf diesem Vogelradar leuchten die Niederlande um kurz nach 12 Uhr auf, weil fast 400,000 Vögel auffliegen und fliehen! Über eine Stunde und das ganze Land werden Millionen (nicht nur) Vögel aufgescheucht. #silvesterohneböller!

Wilde Weihnachten 🎄🐐

Vielen Dank an das Bundesforschungszentrum für Wald! Unsere Bioakustik-Vernetzung ist der erste wichtige Schritt in Richtung einer Implementierung des passiven bioakustischen Monitorings als wichtiges Werkzeug zur Bewältigung der globalen Biodiversitätskrise. Packen wir es an! #biodiv

Two days of BirdLife Austria conference are over. Great talks and new ideas. #tech4wildlife

Wir durften im Rahmen eines Citizen-Science- Forschungsprojekt der Österreichische Bundesforste bei der Suche nach dem kryptischen Baumschläfer helfen. Gemeinsam konnten wir ein bioakustisches Monitoring entwickeln, dass den Gesang der Baumschläfer mittels künstlicher Intelligenz erkennt.
