A multi‐task deep learning–based approach to identify and assess dry root rot disease in chickpea
Abstract Premise Dry root rot (DRR), an emerging global disease exacerbated by drought, affects a wide range of crops. The disease symptoms are manually scored for large‐scale germplasm screening to identify disease‐resistant varieties and test transgenic lines and other varieties.

Scale‐space image analysis for mapping spotted knapweed in grassland ecosystems
Abstract Premise This study investigates the value of scale‐space representations of spatial features for the identification and mapping of invasive plants using high‐resolution multispectral imagery. Scale‐space representations combine the two‐dimensional spatial domain with a third dimension representing spatial scale, such that features can be ...

The largest silesaurid known from South America is described here, demonstrating that silesaurids reached large body sizes in southwestern Gondwana. This discovery further underscores the widespread geographic distribution and temporal persistence of large silesaurids across Pangea, despite faunal turnovers and environmental events such as the Carnian ...

Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Abstract The mammalian rostrum has multiple functions including serving as the upper jaw, supporting olfactory sensory structures, conditioning inspired air, and—for some mammals—transmitting sound. Several groups of bats independently evolved bony inflations on the dorsolateral surfaces of their rostra.

Sport, Agency and Pigeon Snaring in the Ancient Tongan Chiefdom
ABSTRACT Pigeon snaring was an élite sport in the traditional Tongan chiefdom, undertaken on purpose‐built mounds known as sia heu lupe. LiDAR imagery combined with field survey and mound documentation on the island of Tongatapu has identified a comprehensive corpus of these sites.
