Pinelands Commission science staff report long-term water-quality shifts and rising disease risk for snakes Commission scientists reported long-term groundwater and surface-water monitoring showing recent dry-period lows and a statistically significant upward trend in stream pH and conductance at many sites; staff also detailed extensive snake and turtle monitoring and flagged snake fungal disease prevalence and a timing conflict with permitted Enduro events.

Decades of monitoring in the Pinelands reveal alarming shifts in water quality and rising disease threats to snakes, prompting urgent calls for conservation action.

👀 Outlook to 2026:
After proving that eDNA works well in the pilot study, the next goal is to make it a routine and standardized tool for monitoring wildlife diseases. 

Our researchers are working towards a trusted eDNA method that will fit into existing #WildlifeMonitoring programs.

How can we monitor and forecast wildlife diseases without disturbing wildlife?
By using non-invasive methods. 🧬

One promising tool is environmental DNA (eDNA)

Chief: deer monitoring, e‑bike rules and near‑full police staffing among top priorities The police chief told the council the Division of Wildlife will set deer traps and GPS collars to study chronic wasting disease, described draft state amendments tightening e‑bike and e‑motorcycle rules and age limits, and said two hire candidates could bring the force to full strength.

Hyde Park's police chief unveils ambitious plans for wildlife monitoring and new e-bike regulations while also aiming for a fully staffed department!

Noise-Resilient Bioacoustics Feature Extraction Methods and Their Implications on Audio Classification Performance: Systematic Review Background: Bioacoustics classification plays a crucial role in wildlife monitoring, ecological assessment, and health diagnostics. However, the presence of environmental noise, signal variability, and limited annotated datasets often hinders model reliability and deployment. Feature extraction and denoising techniques have become critical for improving model robustness, enabling more accurate interpretation of acoustic events across diverse bioacoustics domains. Objective: This review aims to systematically examine advancements in noise-resilient feature extraction and denoising techniques used in bioacoustics classification models. Specifically, it explores methodological trends, model types, real-world deployment, and application areas across ecological and health-related domains. Methods: A systematic review was conducted by searching eight electronic databases, yielding a total of 5,462 records. Studies were screened for inclusion if they entailed audio-based classification models, applied experimental or computational methods, and reported empirical performance. A total of 132 studies that fit the eligibility criteria were selected for full review by two independent reviewers. Risk of bias was assessed using a customized tool, with 87.9% (n = 116) of studies rated as low risk, 7.6% (n =10) as moderate risk, and 4.5% (n = 6) as high risk. Reporting quality was evaluated using the Transparent Reporting of a multivariable prediction model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis (TRIPOD) checklist. Results: Out of the 132 included studies, the majority 84.8% (n=112) focused on developing novel classification models, with deep learning and hybrid approaches being the most dominant. Feature extraction played a critical role, with 96.2% (n=127) studies clearly demonstrating feature extraction. MFCCs, spectrograms, and filter bank-based representations were the most common feature representations. Nearly half 47% (n=62) of the studies incorporated noise-resilient methods, such as adaptive deep models, wavelet transforms, and spectral filtering. However, only 14.4% (n=19) demonstrated real-world deployment across healthcare, biodiversity monitoring, and environmental surveillance. Conclusions: The integration of advanced deep learning architectures, robust feature #engineering techniques and denoising techniques has significantly improved classification accuracy in bioacoustics. Challenges are however present in real-world deployment and proper utilization of denoising strategies in various datasets. Future direction in bioacoustics should focus on deploying noise resilient models into real-world cross domain generalization modules.

🔡Would you like to do more than promotion and help us make the app available in more languages?

We would love to have locals translate our #WildlifeMonitoring app to Bulgarian, Lithuanian, Hungarian, Romanian or other languages. Just send us a PM.

We involve citizens in #WildlifeMonitoring & they have contributed 29000 verified records from 38 countries 📸🐇

In 2019, we launched the iMammalia app. Since then European citizens have been uploading photos or sightings of mammals that we verify and submit to the global database GBIF.
