Thomas Stone (@ecostone1.bsky.social) introduces an automated method using 3D photogrammetry to rapidly estimate pinniped body volume from drone imagery at scale. 🦭📏 #UKIRSC2026

Excited to be presenting my Master's research using drone imagery to estimate animal body volume at #ICCB2025 this afternoon, please stop by and say hi at the poster session from 4:15pm (stand no. 7)! 🦭

Had a wonderful time at #BES2024 presenting my master’s project research and watching some incredible presentations from colleagues @mcem-oxford.bsky.social (thanks @arielgreiner.bsky.social and @ecostone1.bsky.social for some great 📸s)

Had a wonderful time at #BES2024 in Liverpool this week, thanks to everyone for making it such a great conference (and especially to the amazing @mcem-oxford.bsky.social and @salgoteam.bsky.social groups!) See you next year in Edinburgh!

And that’s a wrap! Thanks @britishecolsoc.bsky.social for a wonderful #BES2024 conference. We at the @salgoteam.bsky.social had a wonderful time exchanging ideas, connecting with collaborators and friends, and learning from all the wonderful presentations

Day 2 of #BES2024 - more great talks and posters to check out today! 🦭🎄🧪

Super excited that my first ever paper and Master's Research with @mcem-oxford.bsky.social and @oxfordbiology.bsky.social has now been published!

doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Using unmanned aerial vehicles to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring Demographic data are essential to construct mechanistic models to understand how populations change over time and in response to global threats like climate change. Existing demographic data are e...

New Paper- Using UAVs to estimate body volume at scale for ecological monitoring!

@ecostone1.bsky.social's Master's research with MCEM was recently published in Methods in Ecology and Evolution. Check it out below or catch him next week at #BES2024 to chat about it!

doi.org/10.1111/2041...

Some really exciting research being presented at the #BES2024 Annual Meeting next week from our @mcem-oxford.bsky.social group. Looking forward to next week!

Some species are difficult to get close to, but drones can navigate this issue and avoid disturbing animals 🦭

New research will improve our ability to monitor species and help us make effective conservation decisions 👇
