From Algorithms to Ecosystems: Conceptual Links Between Artificial Intelligence and Biological Control

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and biological sciences has revealed important conceptual parallels between computational systems and ecological processes. This study proposes a systems‐based framework to move beyond purely metaphorical comparisons by distinguishing three analytical levels of correspondence between

Number of rejections per wasp during an oviposition sequence.

open access: yes, 2015
Rejection of NH flies by AM wasps, NH flies by IR wasps, and IR flies by IR wasps. Oviposition sequence is measured as 20 successful subsequent oviposition events. Average and standard error are shown.

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Husbandry factors are associated with skin, gastrointestinal and ophthalmic disorders in leopard geckos (Eublepharis macularius)

open access: yesVeterinary Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Research into disorders in captive reptiles is notably sparse in the UK, despite the popularity of various species as pets. This study aimed to survey and investigate risk factors for disorders of leopard geckos in the UK. Methods Medical records for leopard geckos presenting at three veterinary practices between 2019 and 2023 were ...

Dispersal of _Aedes aegypti_: field study in temperate areas and statistical approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We studied the dispersion of _Aedes aegypti_ during egg laying in natural conditions. Two independent experiments involving mosquitoes dispersing from urbanization towards adjacent un-urbanized areas were carried out and analyzed in statistical terms. We

Functional variation in butterfly egg pore traits: The potential role of climate

open access: yesFunctional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Immobile eggs of terrestrial animals are exposed to variable environmental conditions. Insect egg pores, critical for gas exchange (aeropyles) and fertilisation (micropyles), are ecologically important yet understudied.
