Abstract Temperate seaweed forests are among the most productive and widespread habitats in coastal waters. However, they are under threat from climate change and other anthropogenic stressors. To effectively conserve and manage these ecosystems under these rising pressures, an understanding of the genetic diversity and structure of habitat‐forming ...

ABSTRACT Understanding the evolutionary processes underlying range‐wide genomic variation is critical to designing effective conservation and restoration strategies. Evaluating the influence of connectivity, demographic change and environmental adaptation for threatened species can be invaluable to proactive conservation of evolutionary potential.

Object Detection based on Region Decomposition and Assembly
Region-based object detection infers object regions for one or more categories in an image. Due to the recent advances in deep learning and region proposal methods, object detectors based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been flourishing and ...

Genomic Vulnerability of a Sentinel Mammal Under Climate Change
ABSTRACT Climate change poses a significant threat to biodiversity, particularly in alpine ecosystems where species have already undergone elevational range shifts. Genomics can be used to estimate the adaptive potential of species, as well as the shift in adaptive genomic composition necessary for populations to adjust to climate change (e.g., genomic

Effect of agro-climatic conditions on near infrared spectra of extra virgin olive oils [PDF]
Authentication of extra virgin olive oil requires fast and cost-effective analytical procedures, such as near infrared spectroscopy. Multivariate analysis and chemometrics have been successfully applied in several papers to gather qualitative and ...

Dual Averaging Method for Online Graph-structured Sparsity
Online learning algorithms update models via one sample per iteration, thus efficient to process large-scale datasets and useful to detect malicious events for social benefits, such as disease outbreak and traffic congestion on the fly. However, existing

ABSTRACT Although population genomics approaches have been successful in identifying regions of the genome shaped by natural selection, progress in dissecting the molecular mechanisms of adaptive variants and traits has been slow. By integrating multi‐tissue (gill, spleen, olfactory rosette, whole eye, and liver) transcriptomes from 16 wild Eurasian ...

ABSTRACT The vast tropical rainforests of the Guiana Shield in Northern South America play a vital role in maintaining the region's ecological balance and economy. Increasing pressure from selective logging, gold mining and climate variability threatens these ecosystems. Sustainable rainforest management requires understanding the genetic diversity and
