Multi‐Spectral Gaussian Splatting with Neural Color Representation

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) [KKLD23] has transformed novel‐view synthesis from RGB images, yet remains restricted to the visible spectrum. Many applications, including agricultural monitoring, rely on multi‐spectral imaging, where spectral camera alignment and scalability pose major challenges.

Innate Pattern Recognition and Categorization in a Jumping Spider

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
The East African jumping spider Evarcha culicivora feeds indirectly on vertebrate blood by preferentially preying upon blood-fed Anopheles mosquitoes, the vectors of human malaria1, using the distinct resting posture and engorged abdomen characteristic of these specific prey as key elements for their recognition. To understand perceptual categorization

Insects and Survival: A Review of Primary and Secondary Defense Strategies

open access: yesEntomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Based on a review of three decades of literature, insect defense mechanisms are classified into primary (I) and secondary (II) mechanisms of behavioral, morphological, and chemical nature. These mechanisms have been recorded in 22 (I) and 20 (II) orders, respectively.

Cooperative effects enhance the transport properties of molecular spider teams [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Molecular spiders are synthetic molecular motors based on DNA nanotechnology. While natural molecular motors have evolved towards very high efficiency, it remains a major challenge to develop efficient designs for man-made molecular motors.

Beyond species diversity: Functional responses of cave arthropods to microclimatic stability and structural complexity

open access: yesEcological Entomology, EarlyView.
Species richness declined along cave microclimatic gradient, while diversity increased with habitat heterogeneity, highlighting distinct roles of abiotic conditions and structural complexity in shaping arthropod communities. Functional traits shifted along the microclimatic gradient, with larger‐bodied and more eye‐regressed arthropods dominating under

How dispersal rates depend on the prey capture strategy: A case study of Georgia's spiders

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Large‐scale barcoding projects help to aggregate information on genetic variability of multiple species throughout their ranges. Comparing DNA sequences of both non‐conspecific and conspecific individuals from distant parts of their ranges helps to ...

Special Adaptations of Orb Weavers and Prey [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Orb weaving spiders have devised both webs and special devices for capturing prey. The prey have also evolved mechanisms for eluding spiders and for living with them.

Arthropods Utilizing Sticky Inflorescences of \u3ci\u3eCirsium Discolor\u3c/i\u3e and \u3ci\u3ePenstemon Digitalis\u3c/i\u3e [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cirsium discolor (Muhl) Spreng (Asteraceae) and Penstemon digitalis Nutt. (Scrophulariaceae) produce sticky material only in their inflorescences. While there is a wealth of printed information concerning such sticky traps occurring in other parts of ...

Identifying Out‐of‐the‐Box Virtual Reality Applications With Geriatric Applicability and Value

open access: yesJournal of the American Geriatrics Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Virtual reality (VR) has the potential to improve the quality of life for older adults. Most studies use proprietary VR programs, specifically designed for one goal, which vastly limits the generalizability and use by the older adult population.
