Systematic Entomology, Volume 48, Issue 3, Page 387-401, July 2023., 2023 We evaluated deep learning models for image classification under a realistic setting of biodiversity surveys, where models trained with global image sources predict samples from an unstudied target area. The accuracy of between‐datasets predictions (across disparate source–target pairs that do not share any species) was 82% and depended greatly on the ...

Modelling pollinator and nonpollinator selection on flower colour variation
Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 4, Page 746-760, April 2023., 2023 Understanding the driving forces for evolution of flower colour variation is a central topic in floral biology. This paper uses a modelling approach to evaluate the role of pigmentation on this diversity assuming pigments can be jointly expressed in vegetative and flower tissue. In flowers, pigments influence flower attractiveness to pollinators, while

Multimodal floral cues resembling both generalized food sources and oviposition sites in Isotrema manshuriense (Aristolochiaceae) pollinated by flies. [PDF]
Plant Biol (Stuttg)The protogynous flowers of Isotrema manshuriense exhibit multimodal cues, resembling both generalized food sources and fly oviposition sites, with these cues varying across sexual phases. Abstract The genus Aristolochia is renowned for its kettle‐like trap flowers that temporarily retain visiting insects, primarily using trapping trichomes.
