Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in sensing systems have significantly enhanced biological monitoring across various environments, including terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial ecosystems, and the integration of cutting-edge technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, and novel sensor designs, has enabled precise, real-time data collection for diverse biological applications. These systems are crucial for tracking biodiversity, assessing ecosystem health, monitoring species distribution, and understanding environmental changes.
This Special Issue aims to highlight recent innovations and breakthroughs in advanced sensing systems for biological monitoring and we invite contributions that explore the development, implementation, and application of these technologies in various biological and ecological domains. We invite high-quality contributions on topics including, but not limited to, the following:
- Smart and autonomous sensor networks for real-time biological monitoring;
- AI-driven image and signal processing techniques for biological data analysis;
- Remote and underwater sensing technologies for biodiversity assessment;
- UAVs and satellite-based sensing for ecological monitoring;
- Bio-inspired and bio-integrated sensors for environmental applications;
- IoT-enabled biological monitoring systems and data fusion techniques;
- Applications of machine learning in biological monitoring and species recognition;
- Innovations in wearable and implantable biosensors for wildlife and human health monitoring;
- Advanced data analytics and predictive modeling for biological system behavior;
- Case studies and field applications of biological monitoring technologies.
We welcome researchers, engineers, and industry professionals to submit their latest findings, contributing to the future of intelligent sensing and monitoring technologies.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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. Sensors 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 2600 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.
