Integrating machine learning, deep learning, and image analysis for seed species classification

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise The growing demand for wildflower seeds in ecological restoration requires reliable species identification, yet current market products often contain heterogeneous species. As seed identification is labor‐intensive and requires advanced botanical knowledge, we evaluated multiple segmentation and classification approaches to determine ...

Assessing Whether Habitat Suitability Models Can Predict Abundance of an Insect Pest

Ecology and Evolution
Predicting pest abundance across landscapes is a major challenge in pest management. Habitat suitability models offer one approach to produce spatially explicit forecasts of pest abundance, but they can often fail to effectively capture heteroscedastic ...

Assessing Habitat Suitability for Pacific Oyster (Magallana gigas) in the Venice Lagoon [PDF]

openOysters have an important role in protecting coastal-marine ecosystems, by providing several benefits such as filtering water, creating habitat, reducing eutrophication, controlling coastal erosion, absorbing carbon, and supporting biodiversity.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Predictive habitat modelling as a tool to assess the change in distribution and extent of an OSPAR priority habitat under an increased ocean temperature scenario:consequences for marine protected area networks and management [PDF]

, 2013
The aims of this study were to determine the extent and distribution of an OSPAR priority habitat under current baseline ocean temperatures; to illustrate the prospect for habitat loss under a changing ocean temperature scenario; and to demonstrate the ...

Lagomorph cranial biomechanics and the functional significance of the unique fenestrated rostrum of leporids

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The crania of leporid lagomorphs are uniquely fenestrated, including the posterior cranial bones and the lateral portion of the maxilla. The functional significance of the highly fenestrated rostrum has received considerably little attention, despite being absent in other mammalian herbivores with a long rostrum.

Informed statistical modelling of habitat suitability for rare and threatened species [PDF]

, 2008
In this thesis a number of statistical methods have been developed and applied to habitat suitability modelling for rare and threatened species. Data available on these species are typically limited. Therefore, developing these models from these data can

Inter‐microscope comparability of dental microwear texture data obtained from different optical profilometers: Part II Deriving instrument‐specific correction equations for meta‐analyses using published data

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) has emerged as a valuable method for investigating the feeding ecology of vertebrates. Over the past decade, three‐dimensional topographic data from microscopic regions of tooth surfaces have been collected, and surface texture parameters have been published for both extant and fossil species.

Predictive modeling of spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) resting habitat in the main Hawaiian Islands [PDF]

, 2012
Predictive habitat models can provide critical information that is necessary in many conservation applications. Using Maximum Entropy modeling, we characterized habitat relationships and generated spatial predictions of spinner dolphin (Stenella ...
