Object detection‐assisted workflow facilitates cryptic snake monitoring
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 11, Issue 5, Page 606-617, October 2025.Camera traps are powerful tools used to study animals. However, camera trap studies often produce large datasets requiring labor‐intensive classification. While many object detection models have been developed to facilitate image analysis, their efficacy when presented with novel species and systems is poorly understood.

Diversity Loss and Homogenization in Snake Communities in a Deforestation Hotspot
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 10, October 2025.ABSTRACT Aim Agricultural expansion into tropical forests causes massive biodiversity loss. However, existing knowledge about these losses is heavily biased towards rainforests, as well as towards birds and mammals. Focusing on the South American Chaco, a global hotspot of deforestation and defaunation, we assessed how agriculture‐driven deforestation ...

The evolution of muscle spindles
Experimental Physiology, Volume 110, Issue 10, Page 1401-1421, October 1, 2025.Abstract Muscle spindles are stretch‐sensitive mechanoreceptors found in the skeletal muscles of most four‐limbed vertebrates. They are unique amongst sensory receptors in the ability to regulate their sensitivity by contraction of the intrafusal muscle fibres on which the sensory endings lie.
