Improving ecological inference and uncertainty quantification from camera trap data through the fusion of AI confidences and manual annotations
Adira Cohen, Erin M. Schliep, Roland Kays +2
Camera traps have become an important tool in ecological research, enabling large-scale, noninvasive monitoring of wildlife populations and behavior. By automatically recording ani…
Accounting for variable detection functions in temporal abundance modeling via transfer learning
Kevin M. Collins, Erin M. Schliep, Tyler Wagner +1
Relative abundance, measured as the number of animals caught per unit of sampling effort (CPUE), is commonly used to monitor fish and wildlife populations, largely because sampling…
Modeling Animal Communication Using Multivariate Hawkes Processes with Additive Excitation and Multiplicative Inhibition
Bokgyeong Kang, Erin M. Schliep, Alan E. Gelfand +2
Animal acoustic communication often exhibits temporal dependence, with calls triggering or suppressing subsequent calls within and across call types, individuals, or species. While…
Joint Spatiotemporal Modeling of Zooplankton and Whale Abundance in a Dynamic Marine Environment
Bokgyeong Kang, Erin M. Schliep, Alan E. Gelfand +6
North Atlantic right whales are an endangered species; their entire population numbers approximately 372 individuals, and they are subject to major anthropogenic threats. They feed…
