Evaluation of Panoramic Acquisition Errors by Predoctoral Dental Students

Journal of Dental Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Panoramic radiography is commonly used in the management of dental‐alveolar pathology. Novice clinicians are prone to technical errors that diminish the diagnostic quality of radiographs. The objective of this study was to analyze technical errors made during panoramic exposures by third‐year (D3) dental students in order to enhance

Expanding the feasibility of fish and wildlife assessments with close‐kin mark–recapture

Ecosphere, 2020
Close‐kin mark–recapture (CKMR) is a powerful new method for the assessment of fish and wildlife population dynamics. Unlike traditional mark–recapture techniques, the use of kinship as an identifying mark is robust to many forms of capture heterogeneity

Ophidiomycosis Prevalence and Disease Ecology in a Natrix tessellata (Laurenti, 1768) Population From Northern Italy

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fungal pathogens pose a growing threat to vertebrate biodiversity. In snakes, Ophidiomyces ophidiicola (Oo) has garnered particular concern, although its impact in Europe remains poorly understood. We conducted a season‐long, standardized survey of dice snakes (Natrix tessellata) along the northern shore of Lake Como (Italy) to quantify Oo and

Performance of a Deep Learning Algorithm for Melanoma Classification Across Diverse Dermoscopic and Tele‐Dermatology Datasets

JEADV Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Early detection of melanoma significantly boosts patient survival rates. Deep learning has demonstrated dermatologist‐level accuracy in assessing pigmented skin lesions by analysing images at the pixel level. However, these neural networks may face challenges with ‘real‐life’ images due to limited training data and image artefacts ...

The effects of seasonality and parasitism on diet and habitat selection in the common periwinkle

Oikos, EarlyView.
The common periwinkle Littorina littorea is an ecologically important grazer, known for its strong influence on algal communities and its role in structuring ecosystems. It serves as the first intermediate host for several trematode species in the Baltic Sea, especially for the fluke Cryptocotyle lingua.

Extension of Pradel capture–recapture survival‐recruitment model accounting for transients

Methods in Ecology and Evolution
Population growth is the sum of survival and recruitment, and knowledge of these two vital rates is crucial for understanding population dynamics. Moreover, animal populations often contain varying number of transient (i.e.
