Distance, weather, and forage conditions drive timing of autumn migration in female mule deer by Colby B. Anton, Nicholas J. DeCesare, Collin J. Peterson

“…Migration presents challenges for managing ungulates when the timing of autumn migrations varies across years and migrations cross management jurisdictions. Methods We evaluated the spatial and temporal patterns of autumn migration using GPS collar data collected during 2017–2019 from 68 female mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) that migrated seasonally within three study areas in northwest Montana. …”

High spatial resolution crop type and land use land cover classification without labels: A framework using multi-temporal PlanetScope images and variational Bayesian Gaussian mixtu... by Minh Tri Le, Khuong H. Tran, Phuong D. Dao, Hesham El-Askary, Tuyen V. Ha, Taejin Park

“…The results demonstrated the robustness and effectiveness of the proposed framework in mapping crop types and LULC at 3–5 m pixels across various ecosystems, climate zones, and human-managed landscapes. The spatial patterns of PlanetScope-based maps were (1) highly comparable with all the reference datasets at 10–30 m spatial resolution and (2) better than the traditional GMM and K-means clustering methods. …”
