Real-time drone derived thermal imagery outperforms traditional survey methods for an arboreal forest mammal

Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are cryptic and currently face regional extinction. The direct detection (physical sighting) of individuals is required to improve conservation management strategies. We provide a comparative assessment of three survey methods for the direct detection of koalas: syste...
