Abstract Premise Quantitative plant traits play a crucial role in biological research. However, traditional methods for measuring plant morphology are time consuming and have limited scalability. We present LeafMachine2, a suite of modular machine learning and computer vision tools that can automatically extract a base set of leaf traits from digital ...

Background – Glycerinated allergen extracts contain 50% glycerin, an excellent preservative. While glycerin is a recognised irritant in humans, the utility of glycerinated extracts for intradermal testing has not been validated in dogs. Hypothesis/Objective – To determine and compare the effects of glycerin on immediate cutaneous reactions to ...

Host and parasite functional morphology jointly explain parasite specificity
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Host–parasite coevolution is a major diversifying force. However, while the genetic determinants of host–parasite coevolution have received substantial attention, it remains unresolved how morphological adaptations contribute to host–parasite coevolutionary dynamics. We

Highlights Phosphoinositide 3‐kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling is an emerging promising therapeutic target for diabetes. Modulation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, via protein and peptide‐based biologics, parasite‐derived molecules, plant extracts, or through microRNA interactions, will regulate the processes that determine the function of β‐cells and ...

Altered plasma cytokines in dogs with atopic dermatitis
Background – Canine (Canis lupus familiaris) atopic dermatitis (AD) shares similar clinical signs to human AD. The abnormal immune response of AD is orchestrated by T lymphocytes, and may include variable involvement of cytokines, Regulatory T (Treg) cells, eosinophils, mast cells and other immune components.

Safe from “harm”: The governance of violence by platforms
Abstract A number of issues have emerged related to how platforms moderate and mitigate “harm.” Although platforms have recently developed more explicit policies in regard to what constitutes “hate speech” and “harmful content,” it appears that platforms often use subjective judgments of harm that specifically pertains to spectacular, physical violence—

Evaluation of a clinical scoring system for canine demodicosis
Background – Canine demodicosis is a common disease in small animal practice. Although a number of studies evaluating treatment efficacy for canine demodicosis have used clinical scoring systems, none have been validated. Objectives – This study evaluated the validity, reliability, reproducibility and sensitivity to change of a clinical scoring system ...

We profiled nutritional and physiological markers in captive sifakas, endangered primates from Madagascar, managed in expansive, non‐native forest enclosures. Variation in many markers reflects freely foraged diets and the energy required to maintain homeostasis under more naturalistic conditions.
