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 ...

Sex Role–Dependent Behavioral and Architectural Divergence in a Jumping Spider

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The graphical abstract contrasts sex‐equivalent cognition (route‐planning & memory) with female‐biased nest architecture. Both sexes perform similarly in cognitive tests, but females build complex, geometry‐matching nests while males make simple shelters.

VTMaxBox: A reproducible practical tool for measuring voluntary thermal maximum in terrestrial ectotherms

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Thermal traits are central to understanding how ectotherms respond to environmental warming. However, not all thermal traits describe the same biological process. Critical thermal maxima quantify physiological failure, whereas preferred temperatures describe thermal selection under choice conditions.

Bacpipe: A Python package to make bioacoustic deep learning models accessible

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural sounds have been recorded for millions of hours over the previous decades using passive acoustic monitoring. Improvements in deep learning models have vastly accelerated the analysis of large portions of this data. While new models advance the state‐of‐the‐art, accessing them using tools to harness their full potential is not always ...

Intrauterine Growth and Male Reproductive Health: A Follow‐up Study From the Danish National Birth Cohort

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Reduced intrauterine growth might affect male reproductive health later in life, however, existing research remain inconclusive. Objectives To investigate the association between placental weight and birthweight Z‐scores and semen characteristics, testes volume, and reproductive hormone levels in young men.

Maternal Consumption of Artificially Sweetened Beverages in Pregnancies and Biomarkers of Fecundity in Adult Sons

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Maternal intake of artificial sweeteners in beverages (ASB) during pregnancy may have a programming effect on offspring health, including biomarkers of male fecundity. Objective We investigated whether maternal intake of ASB during pregnancy was associated with biomarkers of male fecundity in adult sons.

Co‐operatives and public policy: A scoping review

Annals of Public and Cooperative Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract We sketch a first‐ever map of the scholarly literature on co‐operatives and public policy from a selection of English‐language studies published since 2000 using a scoping review methodology. We find that while co‐operatives are often framed as solutions to societal problems, few scholars draw on formal public policy theories.

Neural Networks and Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical Data to Determine Stone Provenance From Ancient Calabrian Quarries (Southern Italy)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study shows an innovative approach to determine the origin of some Calabrian rocks quarried used in ancient times. Twenty‐five quarries, distributed in all the Calabrian provinces (Southern Italy), were studied and sampled. Ten samples were taken from each quarry, for a total of 250 samples.
