Olfactory Choice for Decomposition Stage in the Burying Beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides: Preference or Aversion?

open access: yesInsects, 2020
Sensory cues predicting resource quality are drivers of key animal behaviors such as preference or aversion. Despite the abundance of behavioral choice studies across the animal kingdom, relatively few studies have tested whether these decisions are ...

Twist Quantization of String and Hopf Algebraic Symmetry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
We describe the twist quantization of string worldsheet theory, which unifies the description of quantization and the target space symmetry, based on the twisting of Hopf and module algebras.

Variation in decomposition stages and carrion insect succession in a dry tropical climate and its effect on estimating postmortem interval

open access: yesForensic Sciences Research, 2020
Insects have an important role in minimum postmortem interval (PMImin) estimation. An accurate PMImin estimation relies on a comprehensive study of the development and succession of local carrion insects.

The Attraction of the Dung Beetle Anoplotrupes stercorosus (Coleoptera: Geotrupidae) to Volatiles from Vertebrate Cadavers

open access: yesInsects, 2020
During decomposition, vertebrate carrion emits volatile organic compounds to which insects and other scavengers are attracted. We have previously found that the dung beetle, Anoplotrupes stercorosus, is the most common dung beetle found on vertebrate ...

DeepMapper: Attention‐Based AutoEncoder for System Identification in Wound Healing and Stage Prediction

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
The authors develop a deep learning model for real‐time tracking of wound progression. The deep learning framework maps the nonlinear evolution of a time series of images to a latent space, where they learn a linear representation of the dynamics. The linear model is interpretable and suitable for applications in feedback control.

The possibilities and limitations of thermal imaging to detect wild boar (Sus scrofa) carcasses as a strategy for managing African Swine Fever (ASF) outbreaks

open access: yesBerliner und Münchener Tierärztliche Wochenschrift, 2021
The removal of wild boar carcasses is one of the first important countermeasures after an ASF outbreak. Thermal imagers that visualise body temperature are already in use for selective carcass detection. In addition to carrion-specific infrared radiation

Shallow-Water Scavengers of Polar Night and Day – An Arctic Time-Lapse Photography Study

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Until recently, polar night constituted truly a “mare incognitum” of our times. Yet, the first records from this very little-explored period showcased a surprisingly rich and active ecosystem.

Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Soil Fungal Communities Investigated by Metabarcoding Within Simulated Forensic Burial Contexts

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Decomposition of animal bodies in the burial environment plays a key role in the biochemistry of the soil, altering the balance of the local microbial populations present before the introduction of the carcass.
