A strategic method for expanding the Pacific Flyway Motus network
The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.We identified high‐use areas of the Pacific Flyway by state where new Motus receiving stations would have the highest probability of detecting multiple tagged avian species of interest with the highest certainty. Abstract Understanding the movement and survival of birds of conservation concern during migration is critical for guiding conservation ...

Digital surveillance of animals and nature recovery
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Digital surveillance technologies (DSTs) are widely applied in nature recovery for their potential to generate novel data on species and ecosystems through digital tracking, automation (e.g. from hazardous locations) and from newly recruited citizen scientists.

ACM Journal of Experimental Algorithmics, 2018 We introduce the adaptive cuckoo filter (ACF), a data structure for approximate set membership that extends cuckoo filters by reacting to false positives, removing them for future queries. As an example application, in packet processing queries may correspond to flow identifiers, so a search for an element is likely to be followed by repeated searches ...

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.In this study, we developed AnuraSearch, an open‐source classifier for 11 Ukrainian amphibian species, by repurposing the avian BirdNET algorithm via transfer learning to process over 18,000 h of autonomous acoustic recordings. Although the model demonstrated high precision and successfully reconstructed detailed seasonal and diel vocal activity ...

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Common cuckoo nestlings from different populations show varying degrees of mimicry of warbler begging calls, with the Yongnianwa population being the most accurate and the Zhalong population the least. Overall, these cuckoos employ a dual strategy: they conservatively mimic the high‐frequency components of host calls while adaptively adjusting their ...

Review on enhancing clinical decision support system using machine learning
CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.Abstract Clinical decision‐making is a complex patient‐centred process. For an informed clinical decision, the input data is very thorough ranging from detailed family history, environmental history, social history, health‐risk assessments, and prior relevant medical cases.

Folklore Studies, Fieldwork and the Making of a Domestic Anthropology in Fin‐de‐Siècle Britain
History, EarlyView.Abstract This article follows the ‘communities of knowledge‐making’ that formed around folklore collection at the end of the nineteenth century. Often regarded as eccentric or marginal figures in the history of human science, these collectors in fact engaged in lively and sophisticated discussions about the methodologies needed to study the mental ...

Brood parasitism reduces but does not prevent Bombus terrestris reproductive success
Insect Science, EarlyView.Graphical depiction of the colony splitting process. Throughout figures in this paper, results pertaining to host success are represented in blue, and cuckoo success is represented in red. Abstract Cuckoo bumblebees are obligate brood parasites that must invade a colony of their host bumblebee species in order to reproduce.

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.Female Bombus vestalis cuckoo bumblebees were introduced to a flight arena containing four identical opaque boxes, featuring slits to release volatiles from the bumblebees inside. When only one box contained a developing host colony, the cuckoos were able to locate their hosts among the four boxes with 66.2% accuracy.

Timing pattern of Common Cuckoo parasitism and its relation to host nest attendance
Ibis, EarlyView.Classical works show the adaptive importance of precise timing of egg‐laying in brood parasitic Common Cuckoos Cuculus canorus to ensure sufficient incubation time and successful hatching. Laying in the late afternoon has been suggested to increase the chance of secretive parasitism and therefore escape the aggressive mobbing by hosts, yet this ...
