Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As Section Editor-in-Chief, I am pleased to announce a Special Issue entitled “Feature Papers for Section Drones in Ecology”. This Special Issue welcomes high-quality papers from the general ecology and applied conservation community, including but not limited to forest, freshwater, and marine ecologists, wildlife and conservation biologists, land-use and land-cover experts, and sustainability science researchers who use drone-borne sensors ranging from small and low-cost systems with single sensors to complex multi-sensor fusion platforms. Manuscripts can be theoretical, applied, or review articles. Interdisciplinary manuscripts are particularly welcome. For more scope information, you may check https://www.mdpi.com/journal/drones/sections/drones_in_ecology
