Estimating red deer Cervus elaphus population density using drones in a steep and rugged terrain

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Precise and accurate information about population density, crucial for wildlife management, is difficult to obtain for elusive species living in dense forests or steep and inaccessible terrain. Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), we developed a method for obtaining absolute population estimates of ungulates living in steep, rugged, and partly ...

A Novel Full‐Chain Loop Tracking Auditing Framework for Obtaining Audit Evidence With Reasonable Assurance

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As an attestation engagement, auditing is required to provide reasonable assurance for its conclusions. Traditional auditing has limited capacity to handle unstructured data and is usually based on audit sampling techniques, which can lead to the neglect of important audit evidence during the auditing process and result in a higher audit risk,

Exploring the potential of using male‐killing endosymbionts to induce female‐biased insect populations for enhanced biomass production

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Overview of the mindset and long‐term goals with the approach suggested in this study. We provide a first proof of concept that male‐killing endosymbionts can be used to establish female biased populations with higher production efficiency than populations with a 50/50 sex ratio. This biological tool can have marked positive impact on future commercial

Association Characteristics and Potential Mechanisms of Aging, Gut Microbiota, and Hearing Loss

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The study found that aging leads to unchanged gut microbiota alpha diversity but an increase in Bacteroidetes and a decrease in Firmicutes at the phylum level, with specific genera, species, and functional pathways co‐associated with aging and hearing loss. Through constructing a microbe‐metabolite network, it revealed the mechanism by which protective

The Airway Transcriptome in Type 2 Cytokine Biomarker‐High and ‐Low Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study distinguishes severe asthma–related airway transcriptomic changes from the effects of high‐dose ICS. Most dysregulated genes in severe asthma show concordance with corticosteroid responses. Corticosteroid‐resistant T2‐high asthma featured T2‐high and epithelial barrier gene upregulation, while T2‐low asthma featured Th1/IL‐17 signatures. ASM,
