Smart cameras in the wild: A centralised solar-powered Raspberry Pi system for automated animal observation and environmental monitoring

Post provided by Marçal Pou-Rossell Many studies of animal behaviour – especially parental care – rely on short, fragmented observations. Whether due to battery limitations, human resources, or remote field conditions, collecting continuous data throughout an entire reproductive cycle is often just not feasible. As a result, key behaviours can go undocumented, and our understanding of how animals make decisions across time remains incomplete. We … Continue reading Smart cameras in the wild: A centralised solar-powered Raspberry Pi system for automated animal observation and environmental monitoring

ANDe™: High‐Throughput eDNA Sampling in a Fully Integrated System

Current eDNA sampling technologies consist mainly of do‐it‐yourself solutions. The lack of purpose‐built sampling equipment is limiting the efficiency and standardization of eDNA studies. So, Thomas et al. (a team of molecular ecologists and engineers) designed ANDe™. In this video, the authors highlight the key features and benefits of ANDe™. This integrated system includes a backpack-portable pump that integrates sensor feedback, a pole extension with remote pump … Continue reading ANDe™: High‐Throughput eDNA Sampling in a Fully Integrated System
