295-ARISE will be an indispensable tool for people in nature management

ARISE will be an indispensable tool for people in nature management, ecological research and natural history museums from all over the world.
ARISE has the ambition to:

• name all species
• Identify any sample
• from any NL location
• by any method

But I’m worried that…
If you have worries about the use of data, or images, or any other subject that relates to Arise, please let us know and we will contact you ASAP

Who else is involved in ARISE?
We are currently reaching agreements with many Dutch species organizations about working together. Return here for updates.

I work for a natural history museum.
You can help us by making sure your institution is a part of DiSSCo.

I want to build an ARISE for my country, too!
Our project is intended as an example for many such projects all over the world and, ideally, for such an infrastructure on a continental or even global scale. If you want to make this happen, please get in touch.

More and more people around the world are connecting to nature through technology, submitting and analysing local environmental data through a variety of software applications.

BioSMART technology seeks to connect the data - and the people - together, in order to produce more meaningful results for scientific research, food security and environmental conservation.

The stakes here are very high. Biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate, with the fastest rate of extinction in 66 million years.

Space-based tracker to give scientists a beyond-bird's-eye-view of wildlife
Martin Wikelski and his team at the Max Planck Institute for Ornithology are investigating the global migration of animals - initially focusing on small animals such as birds, bats and flying foxes. Tiny transmitters weighing less than five grams, attached to the animals, collect information about their migratory behaviour and transmit it to the ISS. From there, for example, bird migration can be observed globally. This film and our website explain how this works:

The International Cooperation for Animal Research Using Space, or ICARUS, will be flying closer to the sun than ever when a pair of Russian cosmonauts installs the antennae for its state-of-the-art animal tracking system on the exterior of the International Space Station on Aug. 15. The installation will be one small step for the cosmonauts and one giant leap for Yale biodiversity research. For the past 16 years, ICARUS has been simultaneously developing the tiniest transmitters (by 2025, the team hopes to scale down solar-powered backpacks enough to fit them on desert locusts) and some of the most massive antennae (the equipment that the cosmonauts will be installing). Together, these two new technologies will give biodiversity researchers an unprecedented, extraterrestrial perspective on the lives of some of Earth's smallest and most mobile creatures, such as fruit bats, baby turtles, parrots, and songbirds.

Scientists have begun tracking the global movement of individual animals with a new generation of miniature tags, opening a new frontier in efforts to monitor biodiversity change and pinpoint areas for conservation intervention. Since March 2021, Icarus has captured the movements of hundreds of animals from 15 species worldwide. Given the low cost and small size of tags, researchers hope to scale the effort to thousands of species and deliver data about animal lives globally in near real time. The study highlights how this “internet of animals”–when combined with other environmental and behavioral data—is poised to inform scientists about changes in the Earth’s ecosystems.

Max-Planck-Yale Center is currently raising funds to purchase more sensors, currently about $300 a piece, and to support researchers in different corners of the world to use and scale up the system, train volunteers, and integrate information-sharing platforms. “The dream is an ongoing cohort of say 100,000 animal sentinels that help us humans measure, understand, and mitigate our changes to this planet,” said Walter Jetz, lead author of the study, co-director of the center and professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and of the Environment at Yale University.

Van libellen tot grote roofvogels tot vleermuizen. Het apparaat stuurt de gegevens 24 uur per dag, 7 dagen per week, 365 dagen per jaar door naar onderzoekers aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA). Zij hopen zo meer inzicht te krijgen in vogelmigratie.

“ARTIS is een groene oase middenin de stad en daarmee aantrekkelijk voor veel vogels”, zegt Prof. dr. Judy Shamoun-Baranes. Als hoogleraar Animal Movement Ecology aan de UvA heeft zij de leiding over het project. “Met de informatie die de radar ons levert, krijgen we veel meer inzicht in de vogeltrek, maar ook in de invloed van klimaatverandering daarop.”

‘We currently have eighteen different teams signed up with a broad scope of experiments. The original idea was to create a lab for subsurface studies but it has grown much further than that. There are now many experiments we didn’t expect at all. We didn’t expect to have a wind tunnel in order to https://www.utwente.nl/en/et/ce/research/cme/news/2021/6/1096558/ut-campus-krijgt-een-living-innovation-lab study dune erosions or to use the lab for detection of unexploded bombs and grenades in the ground. On top of that, the lab can serve for vocational training for detection of pipes and cables.

The past 5 years or so have seen the rise of birdsong id algorithms, that is, algorithms capable of identifying birds by their calls. Some of these algorithms are presented at conferences and specialist challenges (like LifeClef), others have found their way into mobile phone apps that can be used by anyone.
https://www.kaggle.com/
Since the subject of birdsong id algorithms came up on a mystery recording discussion here on xeno-canto, I felt the need to know a bit more about how these algorithms can be used, who makes them, and why. Mario Lasseck, a computer programmer at Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, who has won the BirdClef challenge and is an expert on this topic, kindly agreed to answer a few questions.
Disclaimer: I know Mario, but I am not involved in his project.

I've been reading a few of your publications. If I understood correctly, you are using a neural network pre-trained for classifying images. Do you think that the birdsong id algorithm could be trained further to classify other types of sound? Or in a wider sense, do you think that your research could have an impact beyond birding, either industrial or societal?
https://xeno-canto.org/article/250
https://xeno-canto.org/article/246
The underlying technique is not at all limited to bird sounds. It can be used to identify all kinds of sound events or to classify acoustic scenes under the condition you have the appropriate labeled data to train the algorithm. There might be some adjustments helpful or necessary for pre-processing depending on the nature of sounds you want to recognize. If you want to identify bats for example you have to make sure to record the audio with sufficient high sample rates, 44.1 or 22.05 kHz works well for birds but is not high enough for ultrasonic sounds. There are quite a few examples where sound detection is already successfully applied in the industry (e.g. to detect abnormal conditions or malfunction of industrial machines) or society (e.g. detection of gunshots or illegal logging).

How to tell a good app from a bad one? Is it sufficient to check on what kind of data the app was trained? (This question inspired by a comment by Willem-Pier).

De voorgestelde vlindermaat biedt een perspectief op wat er nodig is om greep te krijgen op onze menselijke maat: het opnieuw uitvinden van onze ecologische niche op deze planeet. De vlinderdimensie is geworteld in ‘biofile’, de aangeboren affiniteit van menselijke wezens met de natuurlijke wereld, volgens de hypothese van de onlangs overleden entomoloog en natuurbeschermer E.O. Wilson. Deze brengt zowel amateurs als professionele natuurliefhebbers in actie tot het beschrijven, vastleggen en tellen van soorten, hetgeen een positieve terugkoppeling geeft op verdere betrokkenheid met biodiversiteit. De verkregen kennis kan uitgroeien tot cycli van monitoring van verandering in biodiversiteit, gekoppeld aan groeiend inzicht in omgevingsinvloeden uit wetenschappelijk onderzoek.

Ten derde, om natuurbeleid te vertalen naar een praktijk van lerend beheren in het veld, is het nodig om de monitoring van kritische prestatie-indicatoren (KPI’s), op basis van landgebruik, direct te koppelen aan de monitoring van de biodiversiteit zelf. Alleen dan kunnen we blijven volgen hoe het natuurbeleid uitpakt en kunnen we leren of het zijn doel bereikt of bijsturing behoeft. De trends van de vlinderpopulaties in de komende jaren zullen uitwijzen of we eindelijk in staat blijken om de lijn van verlies van biodiversiteit om te buigen naar herstel!
