What Makes a Mother? Investigating Maternal Success in Ex Situ Cheetahs

open access: yesZoo Biology, EarlyView.
Feeding and diet may play a part in maternal success. Cheetahs who are reported to feed on ruminant meat have larger litters of cubs than female cheetahs who are not, while female cheetahs who are reported to experience starve days have a higher incidence of stillbirths.

High-speed odour sensing using miniaturised electronic nose [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Animals have evolved to rapidly detect and recognise brief and intermittent encounters with odour packages, exhibiting recognition capabilities within milliseconds. Artificial olfaction has faced challenges in achieving comparable results -- existing solutions are either slow; or bulky, expensive, and power-intensive -- limiting applicability in real ...

Coral reef fish visual adaptations to a changing world

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Coral reef ecosystems show fluctuations in their prevailing light environment in response to both regular (e.g. between seasons) and more prevalent stochastic events (e.g. human‐induced sediment runoff).

Evaluation of Large Language Models' Concordance With Guidelines on Olfaction. [PDF]

open access: yesLaryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
Our objective was to assess the concordance of artificial intelligence‐generated information with established guidelines on olfaction. The artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT provided more accurate information than Google Gemini on olfaction; however, overall, both platforms did not consistently align with clinical guidelines. AI platforms require

Efficient Hybrid Neuromorphic-Bayesian Model for Olfaction Sensing: Detection and Classification [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Olfaction sensing in autonomous robotics faces challenges in dynamic operations, energy efficiency, and edge processing. It necessitates a machine learning algorithm capable of managing real-world odor interference, ensuring resource efficiency for mobile robotics, and accurately estimating gas features for critical tasks such as odor mapping ...

Effects of short‐term multi‐pollutant exposure on the oxidative stress status of captive songbirds

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The human influence on Earth's ecosystems is omnipresent. Artificial light at night (ALAN), anthropogenic noise, and air pollution are inherent features of human activities and infrastructure and pose novel environmental challenges to urban‐dwelling wildlife.

Forensic olfaction employment for solving crimes

open access: yesЮридичний часопис Національної академії внутрішніх справ
The research on the use of forensic olfaction is relevant due to the need to highlight its content and rules of practical application in the analysis of odour traces of a criminal, which ensures improvement of crime solving and investigation.

From Molecules to Mixtures: Learning Representations of Olfactory Mixture Similarity using Inductive Biases [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Olfaction -- how molecules are perceived as odors to humans -- remains poorly understood. Recently, the principal odor map (POM) was introduced to digitize the olfactory properties of single compounds. However, smells in real life are not pure single molecules, but complex mixtures of molecules, whose representations remain relatively under-explored ...
