Citations in the corpus

• The potential for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to conduct marine fauna surveys in place of manned aircraft (2018, methodology): “Due to the functional and logistical limitations of manned aerial surveys, some studies have suggested that UAVs may provide better sampling efficiency and data quality (Koski et al., 2009; Watts et al., 2010; Lisein et al., 2013; Durban et al., 2015; Kiszka et al., 2016; Sweeney et al., 2016).”
• Fine-scale bird monitoring from light unmanned aircraft systems (2012, result): “Koski et al. (2009) evaluated the efficiency of UAS for monitoring marine mammals and suggested that UAS surveys yield similar results to manned aerial surveys.”
• Unmanned aircraft systems in wildlife research: current and future applications of a transformative technology (2016, background): “Promisingly, recent research on the effectiveness of UAS in estimating wildlife population parameters (eg Koski et al. 2009; USGS 2011; Martin et al. 2012; Goebel et al. 2015) shows that this technique can indeed be highly accurate.”
• A small unmanned aerial system for estimating abundance and size of Antarctic predators (2015, background): “Recent rapid development of unmanned aerial systems (UAS), sometimes called drones, may provide such flexibility to remote field research (Jones et al. 2006; Koski et al. 2009; Watts et al. 2010).”
• Lightweight unmanned aerial vehicles will revolutionize spatial ecology (2013, background): “In addition, UAVs may offer advantages as platforms for performing marine ecological surveys, particularly when species are susceptible to disturbance from boat vibrations (eg 143 beaked whales [Ziphiidae]; Koski et al. 2009).”
