Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.
We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.

Invertebrate higher taxa diversity in managed and unmanaged green spaces in the urban environment of Metropolis GZM (Poland)

Environmental & Socio-economic Studies
The issue of urban biodiversity is an extensively studied subject due to the tremendous loss of biological diversity worldwide. Increasing urbanisation affects local habitats through various mechanisms and has become a point of interest in urban planning

Establishing DNA‐Based Strategies for Soil Biodiversity Assessment: Insights From Carabid Beetles

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 11, November 2025.
DNA metabarcoding revolutionizes soil biodiversity assessments by offering unparalleled taxonomic resolution and efficiency compared to traditional methods. Our study shows that the common decontamination step is unnecessary, streamlining workflows without compromising accuracy.

Comparison of Short Generalist and Specific Markers to Assess the Diversity of Arthropods Using eDNA Metabarcoding

Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 6, November–December 2025.
By analyzing > 1200 eDNA samples with different markers amplifying arthropods, we show that generalist and specific markers produce correlated pictures of community variation; still specific markers provide a more accurate measure of biodiversity and of its response to environmental stressors.

Die Baumkronenspinnen (Araneae) des Leipziger Auwaldes [PDF]

, 2012
The canopy spiders of the floodplain forest in Leipzig have become a focus of ecological studies in recent years. In 2006 we sampled 30 tree canopies in the ‘Burgaue’ nature reserve with pyrethrum knock-down fogging, recording 502 adult spiders belonging

Demographic Patterns and Clinical Presentations of Demodicosis in a Longitudinal Study From Khuzestan Province, Southwest Iran

Health Science Reports, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Demodicosis is a significant dermatological condition caused by Demodex mites, with a wide range of clinical manifestations. Despite its prevalence, population‐based studies on the epidemiology, co‐infections, and atypical presentations of demodicosis remain limited globally.
