High‐throughput information extraction of printed specimen labels from large‐scale digitization of entomological collections using a semi‐automated pipeline

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural history museums curate billions of insect specimens, representing an unparalleled record of biodiversity. Although large‐scale digitization has expanded access to specimen images, extracting label metadata remains a major bottleneck, typically requiring time‐intensive manual transcription.

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.
