Living Low and Dry: Costs of and Resilience to Soil Hydric Stress in a Fossorial Amphisbaenian Reptile

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Soil drought imposes moderate, temporary costs on a strictly fossorial amphisbaenian reptile. However, these animals seem to cope with, at least, moderately short droughts thanks to their peculiar adaptations to living in an underground environment. ABSTRACT The physiological traits of animals can be strongly influenced by climatic fluctuations, and ...

Geographic Patterns of Head Morphology in Syngnathus typhle Across Marine Regions

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Morphometric analysis of Syngnathus typhle head shape shows distinct geographic patterns across Baltic, North, Atlantic, and Mediterranean marine regions, driven by variation in snout length, head depth, and eye position. Findings provide a non‐invasive baseline for conservation monitoring.

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

From video to behaviour: An LSTM‐based approach for automated nest behaviour recognition in the wild

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies of animal behaviour usually rely on direct observations or manual annotations of video recordings. However, such methods can be very time‐consuming and error‐prone, leading to sub‐optimal sample sizes. Recent advances in deep learning show great potential to overcome such limitations.

RAPID: Real‐time animal pattern re‐identification on edge devices, an open‐source tool for field deployment

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Automatic re‐identification of animals has significant potential to address pressing ecological and conservation challenges through improved population monitoring, individual health assessment and detailed behavioural analyses. Although numerous computer‐vision‐based solutions have been proposed and many achieve high accuracy, most remain ...

A comparative study of the sorption, persistence, and bioactivity of the enantiopure and racemic forms of abscisic acid in soil under different application regimes

open access: yesChemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture
Background The plant growth regulatory activity of both enantiomers of abscisic acid (ABA) provides a rationale for evaluating the potential benefits of using racemic ABA (RS-ABA) over S-ABA as a plant protection product.
