Comparing drone and field based methods for assessing Cryptostegia grandiflora density along the Mogalakwena river in South Africa - Vivien Kovacs; Caroline Kruger; Gregg Jansen van Rensburg; Frank Kruger; Lars Schmidt (Discover Ecology, 2025)
Biological invasions pose a global challenge and are one of the most severe threats to biodiversity, rangeland productivity, and human and animal health. In South Africa, recent attention has focused on the invasive woody climber Cryptostegia grandiflora . This study aimed to update data on C. grandiflora abundance in the Mogalakwena River Reserve (MRR). A field survey was conducted from May to July 2023, comparing plant density in 36 quadrats with previous surveys undertaken in 2013 and 2016. Additionally, the study evaluated the effectiveness of drone-based analysis for density assessment. High-resolution mosaics of the study area were created using Drone2Map in ArcGIS and analysed to estimate plant density. The results indicated a significant increase in density over the past decade, with higher densities observed on the eastern bank of the river. Statistical tests confirmed significant increase from both 2013 and 2016 to 2023, with no significant difference between 2013 and 2016. Regression analyses confirmed a strong association between field-based and drone-based estimates, though drone data systematically underestimated density, especially at higher infestation levels. This was supported by Spearman’s correlation ( r = 0.79, P < 0.001), Bland-Altman analysis, and the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test ( p = 0.015). Despite this, drone-based monitoring offers valuable potential for large-scale invasion assessment. The study underscores the importance of integrating drone technology with field-based surveys for comprehensive monitoring of invasive species and highlights the need for further calibration to improve drone-based accuracy. Effective management strategies are urgently needed to control the spread of C. grandiflora and mitigate biodiversity impacts.

Machine-learning algorithms for identifying climate-resilient corals in the Republic of Palau - Anderson B. Mayfield; Alexandra C. Dempsey (Discover Oceans, 2025)
To restore degraded coral reef habitats, it is critical to ensure that the scleractinian broodstock utilized can withstand future heatwaves. However, reef coral resilience is normally assessed only after catastrophic stress events. By tapping into a rich, “molecules-to-satellites” dataset acquired during the Living Ocean Foundation’s research mission to the Republic of Palau, we trained an artificial intelligence to accurately predict pocilloporid coral thermotolerance from relatively cheap, easy-to-measure environmental and ecological survey parameters. Specifically, a neural network featuring 22 predictors, such as coral cover and colony size, could forecast the whereabouts and properties of climate-resilient colonies of Pocillopora acuta with ~ 90% accuracy. This machine-learning model enables practitioners to (1) estimate the climate resilience of local pocilloporid populations and (2) identify habitats characterized by high pocilloporid coral resilience.

Social media as a tool for documenting endangered and difficult to monitor marine species in Pacific Island Countries with evidence from Fiji - Jasha Dehm; Kimberly Samson; Devavrat Bishwa; Kelly T. Brown (Discover Oceans, 2025)
This study explores the potential of social media as a passive citizen science tool for documenting marine biodiversity in Fiji, offering a cost-effective and inclusive approach to biodiversity monitoring in Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs). Analyzing 67 unique observations posted on Facebook from 2010 to 2024, seven megafauna groups were identified, including whales, dolphins, sharks, rays, wedgefish, seals and dugongs. Whales, dolphins, and sharks were the most frequently reported, with the humpback whale ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) and the bull shark ( Carcharhinus leucas ) among the most observed species. Of these observations, 80.6% were identified to species level, while 16.4% were identified only to genus level, highlighting the potential utility of social media for species documentation, despite inherent challenges such as low-quality images and insufficient metadata. Spatially, Facebook posts were only identified from 11 of Fiji’s 14 provinces, with the Rewa province reporting the most shark and ray sightings. However, the absence of standardized formats for posts and the lack of verification for species identification were identified as significant constraints in this process. To address these issues, we recommend introducing specific hashtags and outlining clear posting guidelines. Our findings demonstrate that regional social media can complement traditional monitoring techniques by offering real-time data, increasing public participation, and providing broader spatial and temporal coverage for biodiversity monitoring in PICTs.
