Unraveling Occurrence Patterns and Diversity of Avian Malaria Parasites in Iberian Obligate and Facultative Scavenger Birds

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Low overall haemosporidian occurrence (3.4%; 13/383). Unexpected high lineage diversity (10 new host–parasite interactions). Novel Leucocytozoon lineage (GYPBAR01) in all European vultures except the griffon vulture. Plasmodium relictum (lineage SGS1) in adult red kites.

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

BirdNET: Automated Detection for Monitoring Critically Endangered Lemurs from the Maromizaha Forest

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of integrating PAM with BirdNET, a convolutional neural network originally developed for avian vocalization detection, to monitor two critically endangered lemurs, Indri indri and Varecia variegata, in Madagascar's Maromizaha rainforest.

From video to behaviour: An LSTM‐based approach for automated nest behaviour recognition in the wild

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of animal behaviour usually rely on direct observations or manual annotations of video recordings. However, such methods can be very time‐consuming and error‐prone, leading to sub‐optimal sample sizes. Recent advances in deep learning show great potential to overcome such limitations.

Optimal deep learning activity recognition pipeline using animal bio‐logging data

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Animal activity recognition using supervised machine learning on bio‐logging data has revolutionized behavioural studies on wildlife and livestock over the past decade. These studies' analytic pipelines differ substantially though, being based on various sensors, features, algorithms and hyperparameter values, which has caused suboptimal or ...
