Underwater Computer Vision for Ecologists: A Framework for Curating Image Training Datasets for Object Detection

As marine ecosystems experience accelerating change, there is an urgent need for efficient and scalable biodiversity monitoring tools. We present a 10-step framework for integrating computer vision (CV) tools into long-term underwater biodiversity monitoring, using a case study f...

Identifying thermally tolerant bull kelp ( Nereocystis luetkeana ) source populations for restoration under climate change

Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the world due to climate change and other stressors. Restoration is one solution to return kelp forests to places where they have been lost, yet continually warming oceans may necessitate the identification of thermally tolerant strains...
