I'm really happy to announce that the Multiple/Randomized Shortest Paths Toolbox has been upgraded and improved for ArcGIS Pro. If you are interested in connectivity and/or corridors this could be the tool for you. arcgis.com/home/item.html?id…

Multiple Randomized Shortest Paths for ArcGIS Pro

Uses the Multiple Shortest Paths concept of Pinto and Keitt (2009) similar to what was implemented in LORACS software. Also similar is the Randomized Shortest Paths of Saerens et al. (2009) which is...

I find it fascinating that most senior academics in my field (conservation biology and ecology) have citation spikes in 2021. I can only attribute it to the fact that we were all shut out of our fieldwork and labwork and that catching up on writing was the sensible thing.

The economic value of the Landsat program grew from $3.4B in 2017 to $25.6B in 2023, which, as we mention in the report, is vastly underestimated. Working on this project, which attempted to put a monetary value on satellite imagery, with an honest approach, is perhaps the most interesting and the most important work I have ever done. It was an absolute honour to collaborate with some world-class economists and researchers.

US Fish & Wildlife announced that they propose to list the Bethany Beach firefly as Threatened, in response to the petition by Xerces & @CenterForBioDiv! Learn more🔗xerces.org/press/endangered-… Get involved with firefly conservation 🪲💡 fireflyatlas.org
“The Bethany Beach firefly to be the first firefly protected by the Endangered Species Act” A firefly perched atop a paper ruler, betraying its small size of perhaps 1.5 centimeters. Its body is dark, edged and lined with beige, with some reddish markings on a small area of its back. Its antennae are clearly segmented, and its legs end in lobed pads that give the impression of a pair of being digits. Its eyes are black and large, taking up most of its head.

Good news for many! However, my heart goes out to the people who are still waiting to get back home and those who have lost homes and possessions. Let's hope that fire fighting progress continues.

This is an unfortunate first for me. I came across the word "bespoke" in a scientific paper.
