The Neophobia Hypothesis: nest decoration in birds may reduce predation by corvids

Royal Society Open Science
Many birds suffer heavily from nest predation, selecting several behaviours to avoid the risk. Corvids are among the most serious nest predators. However, they are also among the most neophobic of any birds.

Adaptive Macroscopic Ensemble Allocation for Robot Teams Monitoring Spatiotemporal Processes

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We propose an online, environment feedback‐driven macroscopic ensemble approach to adapt robot team task allocation in spatiotemporal environments by controlling robot populations rather than assigning individual robots, all while maintaining robust team performance even for small teams. Our simulation and experimental results show better or comparable

Osmia3DNest—Novel designed 3D printed artificial nest for solitary cavity‐nesting bees

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
The availability and appropriateness of nesting sites significantly influence the reproductive success and overall welfare of wild bees. Human‐induced factors contribute to the destruction of natural nesting habitats.

Retinal Vessel Segmentation: A Comprehensive Review From Classical Methods to Deep Learning Advances (1982–2025)

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Four decades of retinal vessel segmentation research (1982–2025) are synthesized, spanning classical image processing, machine learning, and deep learning paradigms. A meta‐analysis of 428 studies establishes a unified taxonomy and highlights performance trends, generalization capabilities, and clinical relevance.

Distribution and transmission of American foulbrood in honey bees [PDF]

, 2006
The distribution of Paenibacillus larvae spores, the causative agent of American foulbrood, was studied on three different levels in the honey bee system; the apiary level, the colony level and the individual honey bee level.

Estimating nesting habitat characteristics for the Kentish plover (Anarhynchus alexandrinus) with the effect of substrate and vegetation using a Bayesian network approach.

PLoS ONE
Coastal habitats play an important role in the nesting ecology of shorebirds; however, these habitats are increasingly threatened by human activity and ongoing habitat loss.

Multimodal Image Guidance in Subthalamic Deep Brain Stimulation for Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Accurate electrode placement and individual stimulation parameters influence the outcomes of subthalamic deep brain stimulation in Parkinson's disease. Neuroimaging‐based models can help evaluate how electrode placement impacts improvement, aiming to reduce the burden of programming.
