Abstract
This image shows a single frame of a GoPro Max video captured while collecting field data at Uluru- Kata Tjuta National Park in Australia's iconic ‘red centre’. The interesting ‘tiny planet’ effect was created by mapping the entire panospheric image, which was taken 3 m above the ground, onto a flat plane. In this image spinifex grassland (Triodia spp., Tjanpi to Anangu people) has been severely affected by drought, with the blackened inner portions of the hummock rings clearly visible. Uluru appears in the top right and another impacted shrub, mulga (Acacia aneura sens. lat.; Wanari) can be seen in the bottom left of the globe. Technological advances in 360-degree cameras and software for working with panospheric imagery have made rapid and inexpensive collection of ecological data over multiple spatial and temporal scales a reality.
期刊介绍:
A British Ecological Society journal, Methods in Ecology and Evolution (MEE) promotes the development of new methods in ecology and evolution, and facilitates their dissemination and uptake by the research community. MEE brings together papers from previously disparate sub-disciplines to provide a single forum for tracking methodological developments in all areas.
MEE publishes methodological papers in any area of ecology and evolution, including:
-Phylogenetic analysis
-Statistical methods
-Conservation & management
-Theoretical methods
-Practical methods, including lab and field
-This list is not exhaustive, and we welcome enquiries about possible submissions. Methods are defined in the widest terms and may be analytical, practical or conceptual.
A primary aim of the journal is to maximise the uptake of techniques by the community. We recognise that a major stumbling block in the uptake and application of new methods is the accessibility of methods. For example, users may need computer code, example applications or demonstrations of methods.
