Understanding Animal-Ecosystem Interactions with Remote Sensing

Dear Colleagues,

Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the technology available for studying animals and their habitat. However, research that combines such technologies in studies of animal ecology and behavior remains relatively limited. Concurrently, the role of animals in shaping landscapes and contributing to global cycles is being increasingly acknowledged but still lags behind the importance placed on vegetation or abiotic drivers in regional and global models. Advancements in remote sensing technology, when coupled with appropriate data from animal observations, can accelerate our understanding of how animals shape ecosystems at scales relevant to such regional and global models. The goal of this Special Issue is to highlight these new insights obtained by combining remote sensing with animal ecology studies, as well as to highlight potential new approaches that could yield knowledge which is difficult to obtain from purely field-based studies.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
