An Overlooked Pink Species of Land Iguana in the Galápagos [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009
Despite the attention given to them, the Galápagos have not yet finished offering evolutionary novelties. When Darwin visited the Galápagos, he observed both marine ( Amblyrhynchus ) and land ( Conolophus ) iguanas but did not encounter a rare pink ...

When pink is a question: Comparative gross and microscopic skin structure analyses reveal the histological basis of skin colour in Galápagos pink land iguanas (Conolophus marthae)

Acta Zoologica, 2023
One of the rarest and most unusual iguanas on the planet is the Galápagos pink land iguana (Conolophus marthae). There have been a number of hypotheses on the source of their pink coloration, including that the colour is from blood and a relative lack of

Delay Tolerant Wireless Sensor Network for Animal Monitoring: The Pink Iguana Case

Applications in Electronics Pervading Industry, Environment and Society, 2016
The design of GPS tracking devices and the related data collection infrastructure is an old task that still presents several research challenges from both a technical and biological point of view. Weight, size, and power consumption of such devices must be made compatible with small-sized species so as not to interfere with their lives and habits.

On the live holotype of the Galápagos pink land Iguana, Conolophus marthae Gentile & Snell, 2009 (Squamata: Iguanidae): is it an acceptable exception?

Zootaxa, 2009
The Galápagos pink land iguana, Conolophus marthae Gentile & Snell, 2009 (Squamata: Iguanidae) is the latest example of a species being described without the proper deposition of a preserved onomatophore (name-bearing type specimen) in a taxonomic collection. Differently from other recent similar descriptions, the holotype of Conolophus marthae was

Type specimens, samples of live individuals and the Galapagos Pink Land Iguana

Zootaxa, 2009
The nomenclatural implications of Gentile & Snell (2009)'s innovations in the designation of a type specimen - that is sampled and tagged but not killed - are discussed.  The paper also responds to Nemésio (2009)'s criticism of Donegan (2008), where I argued that descriptions based on samples of live individuals are valid.

Pink: Unveiling the Power of Referential Comprehension for Multi-modal LLMs [PDF]

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2023
Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have shown remarkable capabilities in various multi-modal tasks. Nevertheless, their performance in fine-grained image understanding tasks is still limited.

Ultra Low Power Wireless Sensor Network for Pink Iguanas Monitoring [PDF]

EUROSENSORS 2018, 2018
Energy management is a key issue in the design of long-lived wireless sensor networks. (WSNs). Energy is used to collect data by sensors and to communicate it to other nodes and to the gateways. The energy management procedures aim at minimizing the energy consumption of both the data acquisition and transmission activities. A careful design is crucial
