What if sensor equipped drones could autonomously hop around landscapes to survey biodiversity? Would data be reliable? Could we adapt survey design in real-time? This and more in our latest @zslofficial.bsky.social RSEC publication led by @peggybevan.bsky.social doi.org/10.1002/rse2...

Bugg is now available through GroupGets! groupgets.com/products/bug... Real-time acoustic monitoring devices, tested from the Arctic to the tropics over long (1y+) deployments - with no maintenance! Say goodbye to fiddly SD card retrievals and hello to instant ecological insights

Back from parental leave 🐣 and have an exciting line up of papers to share in the coming months First up, a new approach to transcontinental bird migration modelling, combining eBird with climactic data across N and S. America by the (now Dr.!) Avery Bick www.nature.com/articles/s41...

📢 I have a new pre-print out with @sarabssethi.bsky.social, where we show that robotic-assisted #acoustic monitoring can deliver automated #biodiversity surveys. 🐒🦜 Drone assisted #PAM works well for coarse patterns of biodiversity, but less well for species-specific details. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Hi - I lead the Ecosystem Sensing research group at @imperiallifesci.bsky.social. Give me a follow if you're interested in bioacoustics, biodiversity monitoring, fancy sensors, AI, drones, agritech, and more! 🎤🦜🐸🐛🐝
