Pollination ecology in the tropical Andes: moving towards a cross‐scale approach

Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2312-2345, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant–pollinator interactions structure ecological communities and represent a key component of ecosystem functioning. Pollination networks are expected to be more diverse and specialised in the tropics, but pollination ecology in these regions has been understudied in comparison to other areas.

From pixels to rating—A semiautomated system linking multi‐damage segmentation and condition rating in concrete bridge inspections

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 30, Page 5842-5866, 19 December 2025.
Abstract While machine learning (ML) has advanced image‐based damage detection, a critical gap remains: the automated translation of detected damage into standardized condition ratings used in structural assessments. Most existing approaches stop at semantic segmentation, overlooking the damage rating step essential for practical inspections.

Three‐dimensional reconstruction of loose defects in semi‐rigid base layers using enhanced deep learning and point cloud from GPR images

Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, Volume 40, Issue 31, Page 6475-6492, 29 December 2025.
Abstract Loose defects in semi‐rigid base layers can critically compromise the structural performance and long‐term serviceability of asphalt pavements. However, accurate identification and quantitative assessment of such defects remain challenging due to the lack of reliable ground‐penetrating radar (GPR) data sets and the limitations of existing ...
