Artificial Intelligence's Potential in Zoo Animal Welfare. [PDF]
Zoo BiolHeat map visualization of enclosure space use by meerkats, generated by the artificial intelligence model described in the case study. ABSTRACT The thorough, objective, and regular assessment of animal welfare in zoos and aquariums is rapidly becoming an essential task for these institutions.

Using deep learning to assess the toxicological effects of sublethal exposure of a novel green pesticide in a stored-product beetle. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciThis study employs an AI‐driven multidisciplinary approach to increase our understanding of the toxicological effects of sublethal concentrations of carlina oxide on Prostephanus truncatus. Sublethal exposure to the carlina oxide induced changes in motor patterns and thigmotaxis, highlighting its potential role in integrated pest management strategies.

Diversity, 2020 Estuaries serve as important nursery habitats for various species of early-life stage fish, but can experience cooccurring acidification and hypoxia that can vary diurnally in intensity. This study examines the effects of acidification (pH 7.2−7.4)

Juvenile Striped Bass consume diverse prey in Chesapeake Bay tributaries
Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 15, Issue 5, October 2023., 2023 Abstract Objective Anadromous Striped Bass Morone saxatilis are dominant predators in estuaries and coastal areas along the U.S. Atlantic coast, with the potential to exert top‐down control on prey populations. Although Striped Bass diets have been studied previously, spatiotemporal patterns of diet across ontogeny remain poorly understood, especially ...

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 12, Page 3070-3083, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Oil spill exposures are highly dynamic and are not comparable to laboratory exposures used in standard toxicity tests. Toxicokinetic–toxicodynamic (TKTD) models allow translation of effects observed in the laboratory to the field. To improve TKTD model calibration, new and previously published data from 148 tests were analyzed to estimate ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 7, October 2022., 2022 Abstract The composition of land use/land cover (LULC) in coastal watersheds has many implications for estuarine system ecological function. Land use/land cover can influence allochthonous inputs and can enhance or degrade the physical characteristics of estuaries, which in turn affects estuaries' ability to support local biota.

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2020 Microplastics are of increasing concern as they are readily ingested by aquatic organisms. This study investigated microplastic trophic transfer using larval inland silversides (Menidia beryllina) (5 d posthatch) and unicellular tintinnid (Favella spp ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 The inland silverside, Menidia beryllina, is a euryhaline fish and a model organism in ecotoxicology. We previously showed that exposure to picomolar (ng/L) levels of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) can cause a variety of effects in M.

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 1144-1153, May 2022., 2022 Redundancy analysis (RDA) shows positive correlations between chemicals benzothiazoles and aryl‐amines in tire leachates, and increased hatch severity and lack of pigmentation in fathead minnow embryos. OHBT = hydroxybenzothiazole; PBI = 3‐phenyl‐1,3‐benzothiazol‐2‐imine; NHBT = 2‐aminobenzothiazole; MeSBT = 2‐(methylthio)benzothiazole; MBT = 2 ...

Resilience of Black Sea Bass Embryos to Increased Levels of Carbon Dioxide
Marine and Coastal Fisheries, Volume 14, Issue 2, April 2022., 2022 Abstract After a decade of research on how embryonic fish will respond to the increased dissolved carbon dioxide (ρCO2) levels predicted for the next century, no uniform response to near future acidification has been observed among marine species. We exposed Black Sea Bass Centropristis striata (BSB) embryos to varied levels of ρCO2 (microatmospheres ...
