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

@markus_vgf Schon geklärt 👑🌿

@markus_vgf Bei uns in Eckartsau?

Mein Arbeitsplatz heute

@markus_vgf Im besten Schloss ;-)

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/10.1080/146155…

NEW PAPER in #ornithology shows that the extent of protected areas in #Europe is too small for the #conservation of many common farmland birds: buff.ly/1dKDjeB

@SandroSamba @coop_ch Ich habe da mittlerweile auch eine ganze Sammlung. Inklusive vieler Fachverbände und Medien ;-)

Alle Jahre wieder. Diesmal @coop_ch in der Bambi-Weisswedelhirsch-Falle.

Great to see our research on AI, invasive plants and cool robots covered. 🌿👍🏻

How fast do our roe deer recover after capture and tagging? Thanks to Jonas Stiegler we could show that these effects diminish within 4-7 days in 42 mammal species and even more quickly for animals in high human activity areas nature.com/articles/s4146… #tech4wildlife #wildlife

Perfect use for our #audiomoth during lockdown! @OpenAcoustics

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 doi.org/10.1038/s41597…

Bat specimen as fancy deco object? I can‘t believe this is legal and the shop is really in Vienna. Still crazy to get this as Instagram advertisement.

@harry_stoiber Du hast da einen Wespenbussard gerettet. Da steht noch ein langer Zug ins südlichen Afrika an.

Gestern habe ich einen verletzten Bussard bei uns am Hof gefunden. Die Katzen hatten sich bereits für ihn interessiert. Also rufe ich den Jäger an. "I deaf eam oba ned daschießen" "Ok. Danke"

In the video category, we honor @arribada_i's thermal camera traps that detect arboreal species' nocturnal activity, @RobinSandfort's AI + segmentation on wild boar piglet videos, and @FrouinMouy's HD video + acoustic imaging sonar and recording to study elephant seals.

From bioacoustic recording to lek counts - So great to work for this amazing Western Capercaillie (Tetrao urogallus L.) in the Austrian Alps. #tech4wildlife @OpenAcoustics @WILDLABSNET

@arribada_i @OpenAcoustics @rubylee91 Very nice!

@RobinSandfort @OpenAcoustics @rubylee91 Hi Robin. we'll push them to Github where you can access the designs 😃

On the last day of #techforwildlife this year, we'd like to present #techfordogs. These acoustic collars have @OpenAcoustics uMoth's inside designed by @rubylee91 and Grant Riley. Over 153 dogs are taking part to help African wilddogs. Gallery here arribada.org/wilddogs/galle… 🐶🦮🐕‍🦺

Checking out camera trap images just got so much more colourful. 🐗🌈Meta just released its Segment Anything Model 2 (SAM 2) and it plays nicely with our wild boar piglets. @WILDLABSNET @AIatMeta #Tech4Wildlife #cameratrap

It's happening!!!! @BirdNET_App package for R is out: github.com/birdnet-team/b… @CornellSounds

@arribada_i @OpenAcoustics @rubylee91 Did you publish them? I would love to try them on our dogs ;-)

@RobinSandfort @OpenAcoustics @rubylee91 We'll get them uploaded. There's a small o-ring seal to protect against quick immersion (your dog jumps in a lake) but for long term protection a 3D print would need to be treated to waterproof it (or CNC the enclosure instead). 🐶

#Deer255 died this spring in the after migrating a record 3,300 miles across 7 spring and 7 fall migrations. For nearly 11 years, she showed us how big migrations can be, connecting the Red Desert, Prospect Mountains, Pinedale, Jackson Hole, Yellowstone, and Island Park, Idaho
