This study investigated whether small, artificial ponds deployed within a commercial farm can function as microhabitats supporting diverse invertebrate communities. We recorded 40 invertebrate taxa from nine orders utilising the ponds, including honey bees, lady beetles and spiders, as well as three species of eristaline hoverflies.

ABSTRACT The amphibian disease chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), has devastated global amphibian biodiversity. The specific reasons for its rapid global spread, especially to pristine areas, are not well understood. Freshwater invertebrates might function as carriers of Bd, but the diversity and extent

A Deep Learning Approach to Structured Signal Recovery
In this paper, we develop a new framework for sensing and recovering structured signals. In contrast to compressive sensing (CS) systems that employ linear measurements, sparse representations, and computationally complex convex/greedy algorithms, we ...
