Themes
- AI methods for species and individual identification from camera-trap data and acoustic recordings.
- Operational tools and field deployment: protocols, training, capacity transfer.
- Statistical and quantitative support to ecological research, including decision-support indicators.
- Mathematics, probability, and random systems.
