Lacking data? No worries! How synthetic images can alleviate image scarcity in wildlife surveys: A case study with muskox (Ovibos moschatus)

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study investigates the integration of synthetic imagery, created with diffusion‐based models, to supplement limited training data and improve muskox (Ovibos moschatus) detection in zero‐shot (ZS) and few‐shot (FS) settings. ZS models detected more than 80% of muskoxen in real images, confirming the potential of synthetic data as a substitute for ...

High‐Speed Rail and Spatial Equity: Unpacking the Sustainability Paradox of Land Use and Fiscal Pressure in County‐Level Cities

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Infrastructure‐led development in rapidly urbanizing economies often generates accessibility gains that fail to translate into balanced urban outcomes, particularly when local fiscal institutions redirect those gains toward revenue‐generating land uses. Filling this gap, especially in fiscally constrained county‐level cities where land finance

The Predatory Bird Monitoring Scheme (PBMS) Report 2006-7 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The Predatory Bird Monitoring Scheme (PBMS) examines the levels of certain pollutants in selected wildlife species in Britain. It started in the 1960s to assess the impact of organochlorine pesticides on raptor populations, and the scheme is now the ...

Assessing the Vulnerability of an Inuit Archaeological Site in a Changing Periglacial Environment: A Novel Multimethod Geophysical Approach in Arctic Geoarchaeology

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT With northern regions warming at twice the global rate, assessing the state of archaeological sites in these areas is critically important. In this study, we used a multimethod geophysical approach (ERT, GPR, and EMI) to characterize the current geocryological conditions of an Inuit archaeological site on South Aulatsivik Island (Labrador ...

Knowledge about the presence or absence of miRNA isoforms (isomiRs) can successfully discriminate amongst 32 TCGA cancer types. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Isoforms of human miRNAs (isomiRs) are constitutively expressed with tissue- and disease-subtype-dependencies. We studied 10 271 tumor datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) to evaluate whether isomiRs can distinguish amongst 32 TCGA cancers ...

Spatial identification of areas suitable for other effective area‐based conservation measures in the European Union

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Although significant biodiversity has been safeguarded by protected areas (PAs), biodiversity trends continue downward. Within the frameworks of the EU Biodiversity Strategy for 2030 and the new EU Restoration Regulation (2024), conserving critical biodiversity areas is essential.

Using reflectance spectra and Pl@ntNet to identify herbarium specimens: a case study with Lithocarpus

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary The digitisation of plant collections is bringing large quantities of information into accessible electronic databases. However, in recent decades, traditional taxonomic work in collections has declined, meaning that more specimens are only determined to family or genus, particularly when lacking key identification structures.

maigesPack: A Computational Environment for Microarray Data Analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Microarray technology is still an important way to assess gene expression in molecular biology, mainly because it measures expression profiles for thousands of genes simultaneously, what makes this technology a good option for some studies focused on ...
