The use of multibeam sonar mapping techniques to refine population estimates of the endangered white abalone (Haliotis sorenseni) [PDF]
Multibeam sonar mapping techniques provide detailed benthic habitat information that can be combined with the data on species-specific habitat preferences to provide highly accurate calculations of populations in a particular area. The amount of suitable

A Conceptual Framework and Methods for Studying the Connectivity of Fishes
ABSTRACT Connectivity is a multifaceted concept that has important implications for the management and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes. We developed a conceptual framework that encompasses multiple, interrelated categories of connectedness, including landscape (e.g., structural, functional) connectivity and ecological (e.g., trophic ...

ABSTRACT Local ecological knowledge can be useful to assess data‐limited fisheries such as the Ontario Black Bass (Micropterus spp.) recreational fishery. We surveyed local anglers using the Life History Calendar approach to determine if there were perceived changes in fishing quality for Black Bass in eastern Ontario across different time periods. For

Background Central to major depressive disorder (MDD) onset and maintenance is maladaptive self‐focused attention, which can be reliably indexed by greater: (a) usage of first‐person singular pronouns (e.g., I) in natural language and (b) alpha oscillations in resting‐state EEG.

Sonar-Based Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Using the Semi-Direct Method
The SLAM problem is a common challenge faced by ROVs working underwater, with the key issue being the accurate estimation of pose. In this work, we make full use of the positional information of point clouds and the surrounding pixel data.

Delphi consensus: First‐line use of biologics and small molecules in hidradenitis suppurativa
This Delphi Consensus study identified upgrade criteria for the use of biologics and small molecules as first‐line therapy in hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). European HS experts evaluated 16 clinical scenarios, voting on eligibility for therapy escalation.
