@chrissuthy @oaggimenez @BenCAugustine @andyroyle_pwrc @Marie_Etienne Great idea! Lots of interesting stuff to do in this area

Do you use #CameraTraps for wildlife abundance? Do you feel intimidated by the complex models & codes that statisticians come up with to help design & analyze camera trap data?
If your answer is yes to any of the above, follow this thread with a new resource that is pure gold:

Amazing FREE online workshop by Dr. Cornelia Oedekoven & Professor David Borchers @univofstandrews. Acoustic spatial capture-recapture (SCR) is for estimating animal population density using calls. Great for gibbons. https://t.co/DsYummWjbx @IPS_PrimateNews @PrimateSociety

An appearance in @oaggimenez reading list, week made! Thanks Olivier!

[Olivier Gimenez 🖖🦦 @oaggimenez]

Great paper by @EmmanuelDufourq @indurbach @Carly_Batist @RubenFoquet comparing CNNs to provide best approaches for passive acoustic monitoring.

Results add support to the emerging view that there's nothing pathological or even especially strange in how adventure sports participants view risk.

[Ian Durbach @indurbach]

New paper with @PhilipEbert comparing risk perceptions of backcountry skiers and non-skiers. We found most differences can be explained by standard risk results on expert/layperson differences. https://t.co/3GRFc6DVUY

[Ian Durbach @indurbach]

For e.g., skiers were affected by numerical info like fatality risk and skill level, while non-skiers were more swayed by emotive factors, like if an activity was done for charity. That's a common expert/layperson difference shown in other contexts.

A quick shout out to @ResAltwegg and his amazing fantastic team of superheroes. They have been the heart and soul of this @ISEC_stats_ecol conference and we owe them the previledge of having just had such an amazing conference. I felt there even if far away. Thank you all!

[Natasha Karenyi @Natasha_Karenyi]

Thanks #ISEC2022 for giving these researchers @victor_n_mose @craig_mahlasi @nonowinners a prominent platform to share their research. Wonderful to hear how they are tackling conservation issues in #Africa. Thanks @ISEC_stats_ecol for supporting this session.

[Glenn Moncrieff @Glennwithtwons]

Fantastic biodiversity, and amazing outdoor lifestyle, collaborating on cutting edge NASA-funded remote sensing projects - all while doing exciting science that will directly impact conservation actions on the ground. Come join us!

New paper 📄⚠️ We compared 12 CNNs in a large number of different transfer learning combinations to guide researchers on best approaches for PAM when dealing with scarce audio (e.g. 25 or 50 calls). Multi-country team

New 🐋🔊🛳📉 paper alert! We used data from a cabled hydrophone array and found that beaked whale detections decrease not only with MFA sonar emitted by navy ships, but also with other navy training activities https://t.co/kNr6QZ2iva
