Artificial Intelligence and Animal Ecology: A Review explores the transformative synergy between AI and animal ecology, unveiling how cutting-edge technology is revolutionizing ecological research and conservation. This pioneering book bridges these dynamic fields, demonstrating how AI techniques—such as evolutionary algorithms and optimization methods—both draw inspiration from and advance the study of animal behavior, species interactions, and environmental adaptation. With a strong focus on innovation, it examines groundbreaking AI applications, from bio-inspired algorithms and adaptive learning to breakthroughs in animal communication and behavioral analysis. Readers will gain valuable insights into how AI deciphers complex ecological dynamics, including navigation, vocal communication, and interspecies relationships. The book also addresses ethical considerations, ensuring responsible AI integration in ecological research.

More than just a review, this book is a call to action. It empowers researchers, conservationists, and ecologists to embrace AI-driven solutions, fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and expanding the frontiers of ecological knowledge. As AI continues to evolve, Artificial Intelligence and Animal Ecology: A Review provides a vital roadmap for addressing environmental challenges with innovation and a deeper appreciation of the natural world.
