ThermalTracker-3D: offshore bird and bat monitoring
ThermalTracker-3D uses thermal and visible-light cameras and image recognition software for bird and bat activity monitoring offshore.
Northern long-eared bat now listed as endangered
On March 31, 2023, the northern long-eared bat became listed as an endangered species, primarily due to population declines from white-nose syndrome.
