‘I rarely get outside’: scientists ditch fieldwork in the age of AI
In the race to embrace new technologies, some ecologists fear their field is losing touch with nature.

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...

Robotics‐assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape‐level biodiversity insights
Deploying and maintaining sensors is often a major bottleneck in collecting rapid biodiversity data. We tested whether autonomous hopping drones equipped with acoustic recorders could collect reliabl....

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
groupgets.com
Bugg v4 - Pre-Order
Bugg is the world’s first real-time bioacoustic monitoring device. Once set up, sit back and watch as live audio data streams in over months and years with almost no maintenance required.

📢 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...

Robotics-assisted acoustic surveys could deliver reliable, landscape-level biodiversity insights
Terrestrial remote sensing approaches, such as acoustic monitoring, deliver finely resolved and reliable biodiversity data. However, the scalability of surveys is often limited by the effort, time and...
