Recent acoustic telemetry research has demonstrated that a portion of the common snook Centropomus undecimalis population in Florida skips annual spawning; however, the details of why some individuals skip spawning are unclear. We conducted a comprehensive study of C. undecimalis reproductive biology to determine if a certain population demographic (e.g. size, age, sex, biological condition) skips spawning in a representative...
Precision Forestry: Using Machine Learning and LiDAR to Inform Thinning in Pinus taeda Plantations – A Case StudyNARA Subscribed
We demonstrate that the inputs and conceptual foundation needed for individual-tree-level precision thinning optimization algorithms are already available. As more resource managers adopt LiDAR-based inventories, precision thinning can become a value-added outcome of collecting these data. We use LiDAR to assess individual-tree stem volumes in Pinus taeda L. plantations in the southeast US. Rather than arbitrarily selecting st...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...

The Properties of Individual Fire Events Are Essential for Understanding Global Fire RegimesNARA Subscribed
Aim As fire activity changes globally, we need to better understand the spatial and temporal characteristics of the individual events that, when aggregated, constitute fire regimes. Most global studies analyze point detections of burned area, without delineating or considering the properties of individual events. Furthermore, there is a critical need to understand fire patterns within the context of the geopolitical boundaries...
