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.

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...

Carcass utilization by scavengers is crucial for ecosystem dynamics, influencing energy transfer and nutrient cycling. Through the provision of unconsumed carcasses, the return of wolves (Canis lupus)...

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

Bats surf storm fronts during spring migration
Long-distance migration, common in passerine birds, is rare and poorly studied in bats. Piloting a 1.2-gram IoT (Internet of Things) tag with onboard processing, we tracked the daily location, tempera...

Nice to see our underwater research covered. #tech4wildlife
Bioakustiker erforschen aktuell die Unterwasserklangwelt des Nationalpark Donau-Auen. Dabei fiel auf, dass zahlreiche Arten überwiegend nachts kommunizieren. Laut Wissenschaftern liegt das daran, dass es tagsüber unerträglich laut im Wasser ist. https://noe.orf.at/stories/3270868/ […]

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!
