Small Object Detection Method for Bioimages Based on Improved YOLOv8n Model
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study proposes a small object detection method for bioimages based on an improved YOLOv8n model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach effectively enhances detection precision, recall, and mAP50, offering a novel solution for the technical challenges in biological microscopy research.

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.In an experimental epidemiology setup, groups of pigeons were exposed to different numbers of infective malaria vectors. Vector number explained the speed of transmission, the final prevalence, and changes in host behavior. ABSTRACT Vector density plays a critical role in the transmission dynamics of vector‐borne diseases and thus in their health and ...
