Starvation Influences the Microbiota in the Stomach of the Corallivorous Crown-of-Thorns Starfish [PDF]
BiologyThe crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS, Acanthaster spp.), is responsible for a considerable amount of coral loss in the tropical Indo-Pacific region. After decimating coral populations through predation, it is expected that CoTS will face food scarcity ...

Low-Cost COTS GNSS Interference Monitoring, Detection, and Classification System
Italian National Conference on Sensors, 2023 Interference signals cause position errors and outages to global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers. However, to solve these problems, the interference source must be detected, classified, its purpose determined, and localized to eliminate it ...
