Context-Matched Collage Generation for Underwater Invertebrate Detection [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 The quality and size of training sets often limit the performance of many state of the art object detectors. However, in many scenarios, it can be difficult to collect images for training, not to mention the costs associated with collecting annotations suitable for training these object detectors.

The search for invertebrate consciousness [PDF]
Noûs, 2020 AbstractThere is no agreement on whether any invertebrates are conscious and no agreement on a methodology that could settle the issue. How can the debate move forward? I distinguish three broad types of approach: theory‐heavy, theory‐neutral and theory‐light.

Engineering the Future of Restorative Clinical Peripheral Nerve Surgery
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.What if damaged nerves could regenerate more effectively? This review unveils cutting‐edge strategies to restore nerve function, from biomaterial scaffolds and bioactive molecules to living engineered tissues. By accelerating axonal regrowth, preserving Schwann cells, and enhancing connectivity, these approaches are reshaping nerve repair—offering new ...

A model of replicating coupled oscillators generates naturally occurring cell networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 When a founder cell and its progeny divide with incomplete cytokinesis, a network forms in which each intercellular bridge corresponds to a past mitotic event. Networks built in this manner are required for gamete production in many animals, and different species have evolved very different final network topologies.

Bio-inspired design of ice-retardant devices based on benthic marine invertebrates: the effect of surface texture [PDF]
PeerJ 2:e588 2014, 2014 Growth of ice on surfaces poses a challenge for both organisms and for devices that come into contact with liquids below the freezing point. Resistance of some organisms to ice formation and growth, either in subtidal environments (e.g. Antarctic anchor ice), or in environments with moisture and cold air (e.g.

Effects of neonicotinoids and fipronil on non-target invertebrates
Environmental science and pollution research international, 2014 We assessed the state of knowledge regarding the effects of large-scale pollution with neonicotinoid insecticides and fipronil on non-target invertebrate species of terrestrial, freshwater and marine environments.

Invisible Invertebrates: The Welfare of Invertebrates in Public Aquaria
Animals, 2023 Awareness of welfare issues within animal collections is increasing as information becomes more accessible for staff and the public. A knowledge gap remains when considering the welfare of invertebrates, particularly when housed in public aquaria. TripAdvisor comments were analyzed for 485 worldwide aquariums.

New Perspectives on Semiconducting Conjugated Oligomers for Neuromodulation in Hydra vulgaris
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.Semiconducting organic compounds, thiophene‐based, modify the rhythmic electrical activity of the cnidarian Hydra vulgaris acting on specific neuronal circuits. The ETE‐S trimer also forms electronically conducting wires in the living tissues of the animal.

Structure and function of the musculoskeletal ovipositor system of an ichneumonid wasp
BMC Zoology, 2018 Background Modifications of the ovipositor appear to have played a prominent role in defining the host range of parasitoid hymenopterans, highlighting an important contributing factor in shaping their oviposition strategies, life histories and ...

Whole-head recording of chemosensory activity in the marine annelid Platynereis dumerilii [PDF]
Open Biology, 2018 Chemical detection is key to various behaviours in both marine and terrestrial animals. Marine species, though highly diverse, have been underrepresented so far in studies on chemosensory systems, and our knowledge mostly concerns the detection of ...
