Biogeography of the Iranian snakes.

PLoS ONE
The events of the Cenozoic era such as mountain formation caused Iran to become one of the most amazing biodiversity hotspots in the world today. This pioneering study on Iranian snake biogeography integrates historical and ecological analyses.

Designing for biodiversity data in place: Species, encounters, and interfaces

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Species occurrence data, which records the presence of an organism at a point in space and time, is central to environmental science and its opening up to new forms of participation such as citizen science. Such data are increasingly aggregated and mobilised, reaching diverse audiences.

Remote sensing and citizen science for habitat mapping: A machine learning approach to lowland heathland in Surrey, UK

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In a time of extensive global biodiversity loss, conservation efforts increasingly rely on high‐resolution, accurate, up‐to‐date habitat maps to guide decision‐making and strategic interventions. Many products have been developed in response, using machine learning (ML) methods to automate habitat classification, often relying on satellite ...

Sodium Ions Affect GPR17 Conformational States and Functionality

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sodium is an allosteric modulator of several class‐A GPCR regulating active versus inactive conformation state and may be a critical issue for the optimization of crystallization procedures. Herein, the role of Na+ in the regulation of GPR17 conformational states was studied through MD simulations of GPR17 wild‐type and mutated on two ...

Artemia salina Toxicity Assay: Standardization in a 24‐Well Microplate

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bioassays with Artemia sp. are widely used in aquatic, environmental, and human toxicology as an initial tool to investigate the toxicity of plant extracts, isolated compounds, drugs, and products of natural or synthetic origin. These assays allow for the estimation of the median lethal concentration (LC50) and guide subsequent studies in ...

starU‐Net: An enhanced U‐Net architecture with star operation and multi‐view fusion for improved vessel segmentation

VIEW, EarlyView.
Low‐contrast capillaries are often missed or fragmented by segmentation models, so we developed a shallow four‐level starU‐Net that combines star operation‐based feature extraction with dynamic snake convolution‐based multi‐view fusion for improved thin vessel continuity.
