Zebra stripes: the questions raised by the answers
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2660-2680, December 2025.ABSTRACT Multiple hypotheses have been suggested to explain why the three zebra species (Equus quagga, E. grevyi and E. zebra) are striped. We review how well these theories explain the nature (rather than simply the existence) of the stripes. Specifically, we explore how well different theories explain (i) the form of zebra stripes (especially on ...

Automated identification of spotted‐fever tick vectors using convolutional neural networks
Medical and Veterinary Entomology, Volume 39, Issue 4, Page 829-841, December 2025.We evaluate the performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) AlexNet, ResNet‐50 and MobileNetV2 for the automated identification of tick species capable of transmitting spotted fever. CNNs achieved accuracy rates of ~90% in identifying ticks and showed sensitivities of 59%–100% according to species, sex, position or image resolution.
