Ever wondered how accurate drone-based photogrammetry really is? Turns out UAV-based photogrammetry does a great job at estimating body size, condition, and even mass in live cetaceans. Yes, we validated it. doi.org/10.1113/JP29...

🎉 Excited to share the 2nd chapter of my PhD! From 270 eDNA samples across Shark Bay (🇦🇺), we identified 106 fish species and mapped their diversity with remote sensing — all non-invasively! 🌊🐠 A scalable framework for characterising marine biodiversity 🔗 doi.org/10.1111/ddi.70074

Integrating Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Remote Sensing Reveals Known and Novel Fish Diversity Hotspots in a World Heritage Area

Aim Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Western Australia, is highly vulnerable to climate change, yet its fish biodiversity remains poorly understood at fine spatial scales. We integrated en...
