Machine Learning Quantifies Fine-Scale Hairiness in Shore Flies (Diptera: Ephydridae). [PDF]
J MorpholWe present an efficient, broadly applicable, and open source approach to quantifying micron scale features using a machine learning pixel classification workflow. Using this method, we assess microtrichial variation in semiaquatic Ephydridae species and compare the results to manual assessment.

Assessing the Relationship Between Macroinvertebrate Metrics and Fine Sediment Index for Ecological Biomonitoring in the Little Akaki River, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. [PDF]
Ecol EvolHabitat quality had a positive correlation with percentage of Ephemeroptera, percentage of EOT, and Shannon diversity index (r = 0.833, r = 0.880, and r = 0.939, respectively). PSI had positive correlation with number of taxa, and ASPT‐ETHbios (r = 0.819, and r = 0.798, respectively). Most sites were heavily sedimented.

Life in Extreme Conditions: Diet and Condition of the Extremophile Fish <i>Aphanius almiriensis</i> (Teleostei: Cyprinodontiformes) in a Thermal Rheocrene Spring. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study aims to answer some questions about the bioecological traits of an extremophile fish Aphanius almiriensis in order to understand how it can survive and colonize the extreme habitat conditions. To this end, some bioecological characteristics—condition, diet, and feeding strategy—of A. almiriensis inhabiting the Tuzla thermal spring, which has

Does Faeces Excreted by Moxidectin-Treated Sheep Impact Coprophagous Insects and the Activity of Soil Microbiota in Subtropical Pastures? [PDF]
Scientifica (Cairo)Moxidectin (MOX) is used to control helminth parasites in ruminant livestock. It is released through feces and remains in the environment for a long period. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of faeces excreted by moxidectin‐treated sheep on soil biodiversity (coprophagous insects, soil microbial biomass, and activity) to establish environment ...
