Imagination, Hospitality, and Affection: The Unique Legacy of Food Insects? Heather Looy and John R. Wood Natural & Computing Science

Solutions to global food insecurity can threaten cultural and biological diversity. This paper explores how "global" solutions may in fact be more local, varied, and specific, and how insects in particular may provide a solution toward local sustainable food production.

Institute for Contemplative Ecology Christopher Peet Natural & Computing Science

Dr. Christopher Peet began this non-profit organization in 2021 to be a land-based education, research, and retreat center. The work done at this center is applied to the research efforts of the Institute and both supplements and informs Dr. Peet's ongoing research into the connections between ecology and psychology.

EventFinder: A Program for Screening Remotely Captured Images Michael Janzen and Darcy Visscher Natural & Computing Science

Camera traps are becoming ubiquitous tools for ecologists. While easily deployed, they require human time to organize, review, and classify images. This paper describes our development of an automated computer program, EventFinder, that reduces operator time by pre-processing and classifying images using background subtraction techniques and color histogram comparisons.
