Adaptive Tag Selection for Image Annotation [PDF]
, 2014 Not all tags are relevant to an image, and the number of relevant tags is image-dependent. Although many methods have been proposed for image auto-annotation, the question of how to determine the number of tags to be selected per image remains open.

Effect of population density on number of leukocytes in domestic cats
Nature Conservation Research: Заповедная наука, 2020 Leukocytes (white blood cells) are an important part of the mammalian immune system preventing the invasion and colonisation by different pathogens. Many factors may affect the number of leukocytes in mammals, including the population density.

A new genus and species of sabretooth, Oriensmilus liupanensis (Barbourofelinae, Nimravidae, Carnivora), from the middle Miocene of China suggests barbourofelines are nimravids, not felids [PDF]
, 2020 Since the early 2000s, a revival of a felid relationship for barbourofeline sabretooths has become popular due to recent discoveries of fragmentary fossils from Africa.
