TL;DR: Though the threat of extinction is increasing, overall declines would have been worse in the absence of conservation, and current conservation efforts remain insufficient to offset the main drivers of biodiversity loss in these groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use the best available global data sets on terrestrial biodiversity and carbon storage to map and investigate potential synergies between carbon and biodiversity-oriented conservation, and find that the synergies would be high, but unevenly distributed.

Combinatorial Image Analysis
TL;DR: This volume presents the proccedings of the 11th International Workshop on Combinatorial Image Analysis, IWCIA 2006, which covered combinatorial image analysis, grammars and models for analysis and recognition of scenes or images, Combinatorial topology and geometry for images, digital geometry of curves or surfaces, algebraic approaches to image processing, image, point-clouds or surface registration as well as fuzzy and probabilistic image analysis.

Using Landsat and nighttime lights for supervised pixel-based image classification of urban land cover
Ran Goldblatt,Michelle Stuhlmacher,Beth Tellman,Nicholas Clinton,Gordon H. Hanson,Matei Georgescu,Chuyuan Wang,Fidel Serrano-Candela,Amit Khandelwal,Wan-Hwa Cheng,Robert C. Balling +10 more
TL;DR: An efficient and low-cost machine-learning approach for pixel-based image classification of built-up areas at a large geographic scale using Landsat data is presented, which combines nighttime-lights data and Landsat 8 and overcomes the lack of extensive ground-reference data.

Mapping the forest disturbance regimes of Europe
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used satellite data to map three decades of forest disturbances across continental Europe, and analyzed the patterns and trends in disturbance size, frequency and severity, finding that 17% of Europe's forest area was disturbed by anthropogenic and/or natural causes.

To Be, or Not to Be Spatial--That Is the Question@@@Spatial Ecology: The Role of Space in Population Dynamics and Interspecific Interactions
TL;DR: The book aims to demonstrate that the spatial structure of a habitat can fundamentally alter both the qualitative and quantitative dynamics and outcomes of ecological processes.
