Multi‐barcoding‐based species identification using a hierarchical attention network with staged curriculum learning

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA barcode‐based species identification has become pivotal in biodiversity research. Current barcoding‐based deep learning methods have advantages in species identification but exhibit significant limitations. By using COI barcoding alone, previous studies were unable to fully capture species identification features. Prior methods showed that

Explainable machine learning for predictive modeling of blowing snow detection and meteorological feature assessment using XGBoost-SHAP.

PLoS ONE
Accurate forecasting of blowing snow events is vital for improving numerical models of snow processes, yet traditional predictive methods often lack interpretability.

A Spatial Agent-Based Model to Explore Scenarios of Adaptation to Climate Change in an Alpine Tourism Destination [PDF]

A vast body of literature suggests that the European Alpine region may be one of the most sensitive to climate change impacts. Adaptation to climate change of Alpine socio-ecosystems is increasingly becoming an issue of interest for the scientific ...

Managing the Threat of Subsidized Predators for a Threatened Shorebird

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Subsidized predators—native predators that have become more common due to human activities—challenge the persistence of many at‐risk prey species and require creative solutions beyond lethal predator control. In an 8‐year study, we placed small wire cages over western snowy plover nests that allow passage of plovers, but not their predators, and ...

Phantasmic Encounters in the Arctic: Haunting Materialities Beyond the Ghosts of War

Anthropology of Consciousness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the vast north, ghostly experiences are common for locals and outsiders alike. Here, we explore how cultural‐natural attributes, like remoteness and extreme seasonal variation, compound experiences of the haunting in visceral ways. This provides the Arctic region with an unusually pronounced baseline of other‐than‐human agency, which in the

Mechanical properties of artificial snow

, 2013
Mechanical properties of snow have been a subject of research since the mid-20th century. Theresearch done is based on natural snow. During the last decades the winter business industryhas been growing and also the interest for constructing buildings and artwork of snow. Suchconstructions are generally built using artificial snow, i.e. snow produced by

Seasonal variation in the incidence of central serous chorioretinopathy: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSC) is a chorioretinal disease characterised by serous subretinal fluid (SRF) in the macula, resulting in sudden central vision loss. It predominantly affects working‐age adults, particularly men aged 30 to 60 years.

Crayons × Code: Re‐Exploring Children's Drawings With Multimodal AI and Dynamic Ethics

Area, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Children's drawings are used to study their environmental perception, but AI‐powered analysis of these visual materials remains underexplored. This paper re‐explores the use of children's drawings as a tool for understanding their perceptions of the environment, leveraging multimodal AI for analysis.

Blueprint of a smokescreen: Introducing the validated climate disinformation corpus for behavioural research on combating climate disinformation

British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Behavioural science research has the potential to develop evidence‐based strategies to fight disinformation about climate science and climate mitigation action; however, this research has yet to be conducted systematically with validated sets of climate disinformation stimuli. Here, we present the Climate Disinformation Corpus, a collection of
