Rapid Bacterial Species Delineation Based on Parameters Derived From Genome Numerical Representations [PDF]
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2019 Species delineation based on bacterial genomes is an essential part of the research of prokaryotes. In silico genome-to-genome comparison methods are computationally demanding, but much less tedious and error prone than the wet-lab methods. In this paper,

Genomic delineation and description of species and within-species lineages in the genus Pantoea
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 As the name of the genus Pantoea (“of all sorts and sources”) suggests, this genus includes bacteria with a wide range of provenances, including plants, animals, soils, components of the water cycle, and humans.

A completeness-independent method for pre-selection of closely related genomes for species delineation in prokaryotes [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Whole-genome approaches are widely preferred for species delineation in prokaryotes. However, these methods require pairwise alignments and calculations at the whole-genome level and thus are computationally intensive. To address this problem,

A Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Tree Crown Delineation and Tree Species Classification
Remote SensingNeuro-symbolic models combine deep learning and symbolic reasoning to produce better-performing hybrids. Not only do neuro-symbolic models perform better, but they also deal better with data scarcity, enable the direct incorporation of high-level domain ...

Only One Percent of Important Shark and Ray Areas in the Western Indian Ocean Are Fully Protected From Fishing Pressure [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionThe Western Indian Ocean (WIO) is known for its high diversity of chondrichthyans (sharks, rays, and chimaeras). However, intense fishing pressure has led to severe population declines and local extinctions of several species. The Important Shark and Ray
