Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...

Efficient Masked Autoencoder for Birdsong Representation with Applications on Wild Bird Species Classification

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Research on mosquito feeding preferences and the malaria parasites they transmit is essential for understanding the interactions between hosts, vectors, and parasites. In this study, vertebrate hosts were identified in 72 mosquitoes. Most blood meals (58.7%) came from birds, representing 25 species, while 40.0% came from mammals (13 species), and 1.3 ...

Discovering the unseen: A performance comparison of taxonomic classification methods for unknown DNA barcodes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA barcoding and metabarcoding have emerged as cost‐efficient, standardized methods for characterizing local biodiversity. Based on the sequencing of a small targeted gene fragment, it is theoretically possible to identify a wide diversity of taxa by comparing them with reference sequence databases.

AI‐Assisted Morphometric Analysis and Molecular Phylogeny for a Dactylogyrid (Monopisthocotyla) Skin Parasite of an Ornamental Crenuchid Fish From Brazil

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a formal description and taxonomic appraisal of Cacatuocotyle adrianoi sp. n., a Neotropical parasite belonging to the family Dactylogyridae, integrating AI‐assisted morphometric analyses, molecular data, and phylogenetic reconstruction. Phylogenetic analyses recovered Cacatuocotyle adrianoi sp. n.

From patient to tumor organoid: Culture protocol choice controls glioblastoma tumor architecture and identity

Brain Pathology, EarlyView.
How glioblastoma organoids are made shapes what they become. Fragment‐based cultures preserve extracellular matrix networks, cellular diversity, and primary tumor identity, whereas dissociation‐based cultures shift toward growth‐adapted states and simplified microenvironments. Abstract Patient‐derived tumor organoids are widely used in cancer research,

UBVH: Unified Bounding Volume and Scene Geometry Representation for Ray Tracing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Bounding volume hierarchies (BVHs) are currently the most common data structure used to accelerate ray tracing. The existing BVH methods distinguish between the bounding volume representation associated with the interior BVH nodes and the scene geometry representation associated with leaf nodes.

FluidMap: Proportional and Spatially Consistent Layout Enrichments in Multidimensional Projections

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
FluidMap faithfully represents the frequency of an attribute and preserves spatial consistency. Current space‐filling methods over‐ or under‐represent attribute categories (i.e., all Voronoi‐based methods), sacrifice spatial consistency (i.e., Nmap) or both (i.e., Voronoi‐MWα).

Mesh Processing Non‐Meshes via Neural Displacement Fields

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Mesh processing pipelines are mature, but adapting them to newer non‐mesh surface representations—which enable fast rendering with compact file size—requires costly meshing or transmitting bulky meshes, negating their core benefits for streaming applications.

A Simple Grid‐Maps Pipeline: Restructured, Accelerated and Upgraded

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Grid maps – spatially arranged small multiples – are a powerful tool to show complex geospatial data. Meulemans et al. (2020) introduced a pipeline for computing high‐quality grid maps that are shaped roughly according to their containing geographic outlines.
