Genome Wide Analyses Corroborate Cryptic Speciation in Anurida maritima (Collembola, Poduromorpha)
ABSTRACT Cryptic diversity is ubiquitous within Collembola (springtails). Numerous studies have reported substantial genetic divergence within morphological species. One potentially involved morphospecies is Anurida maritima (Guérin‐Méneville, 1836). A. maritima is confined to the intertidal zone, where it often occurs in high densities. A recent study

Late Holocene Human Impact on Tropical Soil Erosion in the Maritime Continent
Abstract Human activities have profoundly modified the fluxes in the global sediment cycle. However, the anthropogenic forcing on soil erosion beyond instrumental records or historical documentation is largely unknown. Here we analyze markers for low‐intensity fires and soil erosion in East Java over the past 5,000 years.

Combined Effects of Experimental Acidification and Eutrophication on Reef Sponge Bioerosion Rates
Health of tropical coral reefs depends largely on the balance between constructive (calcification and cementation) and destructive forces (mechanical-chemical degradation).

Physical Characteristics of Raw Leathers in Texel and Charollais Ram Lambs
The objective of work was to evaluate effect of breed on basic physical characteristics of sheep leather. A total of 12 leathers of purebred Texel (n = 6) and Charollais (n = 6) lambs were included in the trial.

Non‐Invasive and Low‐Cost Approach for Estimating Sheep Weight Using Computer Vision
Non‐invasive sheep weight estimation system using a Kinect V2 sensor, integrating EfficientNetB3 for frame selection, U‐Net for segmentation, and CNN‐based feature regression for weight prediction. The ensemble model achieved an RMSE of 3.43 kg and R 2 of 0.89, improving accuracy and reducing animal stress.

The p-torsion of curves with large p-rank [PDF]
Consider the locus of smooth curves of genus g and p-rank f defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p. It is an open problem to classify which group schemes occur as the p-torsion of the Jacobians of these curves for f < g-1.
