Applications of Natural Language Processing in Biodiversity Science [PDF]

Advances in Bioinformatics, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Centuries of biological knowledge are contained in the massive body of scientific literature, written for human‐readability but too big for any one person to consume. Large‐scale mining of information from the literature is necessary if biology is to transform into a data‐driven science.

The BHL-Plazi Partnership: Getting data from the 1800s directly into 21st century, reused digital accessible knowledge

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2021
Plazi is a Swiss non-governmental organization dedicated to the liberation of data imprisoned in flat, dead-end formats such as PDFs. In the process, the data therein is annotated and exported in various formats, following field-specific standards ...

Structuring Information from Plant Morphological Descriptions using Open Information Extraction

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2023
Taxonomic literature keeps records of the planet's biodiversity and gives access to the knowledge needed for research and sustainable management. The number of publications generated is quite large: the corpus of biodiversity literature includes tens of ...

Using drones to detect and quantify wild pig damage and yield loss in corn fields throughout plant growth stages

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 47, Issue 2, June 2023., 2023
We present a method to give producers the means to conduct economic cost‐benefit analyses of wild pig damage to agriculture using drone technology, harvest yield data, and custom deep learning algorithm workflows. Our results show the spatial and temporal pattern of wild pig damage to corn, causing losses to agricultural income at the field scale ...

Recognition of Latin scientific names using artificial neural networks

Applications in Plant Sciences, Volume 8, Issue 7, July 2020., 2020
Premise The automated recognition of Latin scientific names within vernacular text has many applications, including text mining, search indexing, and automated specimen‐label processing. Most published solutions are computationally inefficient, incapable of running within a web browser, and focus on texts in English, thus omitting a substantial portion

Learning and Distributed Expertise in Community‐Based Science

Science Education, Volume 109, Issue 2, Page 561-578, March 2025.
ABSTRACT In the face of growing social‐ecological challenges, multiple forms of expertise must be brought to bear in environmental problem‐solving. As such, community‐based science has been touted as a potential way to “democratize” scientific knowledge production, allowing for multiple sources of expertise to be harnessed and for learning across ...

Sex and APOE ε4 allele differences in longitudinal white matter microstructure in multiple cohorts of aging and Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 1, January 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION The effects of sex and apolipoprotein E (APOE)—Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk factors—on white matter microstructure are not well characterized. METHODS Diffusion magnetic resonance imaging data from nine well‐established longitudinal cohorts of aging were free water (FW)–corrected and harmonized.

I, monster: queerness and the Liber Monstrorum in early medieval St Gall

Early Medieval Europe, Volume 32, Issue 4, Page 543-564, November 2024.
This article analyses a ninth‐century copy of the Liber monstrorum from St Gall in which the first monster, a ‘human of both sexes’, speaks in the first person. The scribe also put the Liber monstrorum into dialogue with Isidore of Seville’s Etymologiae, in which Isidore argued that monsters were not ‘contrary to nature’.

Evaluation of drone surveys for ungulates in southwestern rangelands

Wildlife Society Bulletin, Volume 48, Issue 2, June 2024.
Drones equipped with thermal cameras are being used to survey wildlife, but reliability of population estimates are untested. Repeated drone surveys of white‐tailed deer yielded repeatable and precise estimates that were comparable with other estimators.
