Abstract The John Dory Zeus faber is a commercially exploited demersal fish species with a known distribution ranging from the Northeast Atlantic to parts of the Indian and Pacific oceans. A previous genetic survey using cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) DNA barcodes suggested the presence of two geographically segregated taxonomic units within Z ...

Abstract Genomic resources, new microsatellite markers and a novel observation of a fractal pattern in the genetic population structure are presented for curimba, Prochilodus lineatus, a freshwater migratory model species of South America. Our main goals were to investigate the presence of mixed fish stocks and the effects of damming‐induced ...

Adaptive nonparametric estimation for Markov chains and hidden Markov chains
In this thesis, we consider a Markov chain $ (X_i) $ with continuous state space which is assumed positive recurrent and stationary. The aim is to estimate the transition density $\Pi$ defined by $\Pi (X, y) dy=P(X_{i+1}\in dy|X_i=x) $. We use model selection to construct adaptive estimators.

Abstract Four new species of the small‐sized armoured catfish genus Pareiorhina are described from mountain ranges in the Grande River drainage, upper Paraná River basin, based on morphological and molecular species delimitation methods. Molecular analyses based on the cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) marker recovered Pareiorhina as polyphyletic ...

Abstract Among the few species of Microcambeva reported as occurring in more than one hydrographic basin, M. ribeirae has been previously listed from both the Ribeira de Iguape and the Guaraqueçaba basins. However, morphological and molecular analyses revealed that the specimens from Guaraqueçaba represent a new species, which is described in this ...

Breeding 5.0: Artificial intelligence (AI)‐decoded germplasm for accelerated crop innovation
ABSTRACT Crop breeding technologies are vital for global food security. While traditional methods have improved yield, stress tolerance, and nutrition, rising challenges such as climate instability, land loss, and pest pressure now demand new solutions.

Abstract Brain surgery is a widely practised and effective treatment for brain tumours, but accurately identifying and classifying tumour boundaries is crucial to maximise resection and avoid neurological complications. This precision in classification is essential for guiding surgical decisions and subsequent treatment planning.

Multiple Changepoint Detection for Non‐Gaussian Time Series
ABSTRACT This article combines methods from existing techniques to identify multiple changepoints in non‐Gaussian autocorrelated time series. A transformation is used to convert a Gaussian series into a non‐Gaussian series, enabling penalized likelihood methods to handle non‐Gaussian scenarios.

Testing for Unspecified Periodicities in Binary Time Series
ABSTRACT Given random variables Y1,…,Yn$$ {Y}_1,\dots, {Y}_n $$ with Yi∈{0,1}$$ {Y}_i\in \left\{0,1\right\} $$ we test the hypothesis whether the underlying success probabilities pi$$ {p}_i $$ are constant or whether they are periodic with an unspecified period length of r≥2$$ r\ge 2 $$.

Evolutionary correlates and consequences of sociality in feliform carnivorans
We take a phylogenetic comparative approach to investigate the evolutionary correlates of sociality in feliform (cat‐like) carnivores. We find that sociality evolved eight times in this group of mammals, and that it is associated with ecologies that facilitate group cohesion (e.g. diurnality and open habitats) and also that should reduce competition (e.
