Conservation technology: The next generation (2018, background): “Remote sensing, whether through satellites or drones, is increasingly applied to wildlife monitoring, land-cover classification, and as a mitigation tool (e.g., early warning for poaching activities; Turner et al., 2003; Wich, 2015).”
A comparison of perceptions of biological value with scientific assessment of biological importance (2004, methodology): “Scientific assessment of biological significance can utilize a range of survey techniques including biodiversity gap analysis (McKendry & Machlis, 1993) and remote sensing based assessments (Turner et al., 2003).”
Using Biogeography to Help Set Priorities in Marine Conservation (2004, methodology): “Still, such data have been used for habitat mapping, classification, and modeling over large geographical areas (Mumby & Harborne 1999; Wright & Bartlett 1999; Turner et al. 2003).”
Earth observation satellite sensors for biodiversity monitoring: potentials and bottlenecks (2014, background): “Long before the dawn of mankind on our planet, biodiversity distribution was impacted by a variety of factors, such as endogenic forcing (e.g. the birth of new volcanic islands in the oceans, or eruptive activity on land); local, regional, and even global natural hazards; and mass extinction events…”
Measuring and modelling biodiversity from space (2008, background): “These advances in remote sensing are generally divided into direct and indirect approaches (Nagendra, 2001; Turner et al., 2003; Duro et al., 2007).”
Ecotones: Marginal or Central Areas of Transition? (2006, methodology): “…the recent advancements of numerical methods such as tools for spatial analysis (e.g., GIS and remote sensing (RS); Schott, 1997; Kerr and Ostrovsky, 2003; Turner et al., 2003) are enabling us to deal more quantitatively with the complexity of boundary regions and ecotones (Fortin et al., 2000).”
Habitat suitability modelling of an invasive plant with advanced remote sensing data (2009, background): “specialists and ecologists (Turner et al., 2003) than to true”
High spatial resolution three-dimensional mapping of vegetation spectral dynamics using computer vision (2013, background): “…structural and spectral traits for applications including the measurement of aboveground biomass and carbon, identifying individual species, and modeling the spatial heterogeneity of vegetation biochemistry (Anderson et al., 2008; Ke et al., 2010; Turner et al., 2003; Vitousek et al., 2009).”
Cryptic destruction of India's native forests (2010, background): “…(e.g., FSI 2009: 24) but this requires additional effort, including more refined algorithms that employ spectral modeling data, spatially explicit analyses of time-series data, and careful validation of forest classifications with ground truthing (cf. Turner et al. 2003; Chambers et al. 2007).”
Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review (2016, background): “When considering the efficacy of habitats as surrogates of other variables, there are two critical questions: (1) does the variable of interest vary systematically and consistently among habitats? and (2) how much variation is there within each habitat? The use of habitats as surrogates of biodivers”
