Introducing multiple factor analysis (MFA) as a diagnostic taxonomic tool complementing principal component analysis (PCA) [PDF]
ZooKeysMultiple factor analysis (MFA) is introduced as a diagnostic tool for taxonomy and discussed using examples from the herpetological literature. Its methodology and output are compared and contrasted to the more often used principal component analysis ...

Visual Recognition Software for Binary Classification and Its Application to Spruce Pollen Identification. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Discriminating between black and white spruce (Picea mariana and Picea glauca) is a difficult palynological classification problem that, if solved, would provide valuable data for paleoclimate reconstructions.

Neural network model approach for automated benthic animal identification
ICT Express, 2022 The most tedious and hectic job is to identify the tiny benthic animals by spending thousands of hour under the microscope, since all the fauna need to be counted, sorted, picked and permanently mounted on glass slides for taxonomic identification.

The normalized segment classification model: A new tool to compare spectral reflectance curves
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Color patterns are complex traits under selective pressures from conspecifics, mutualists, and antagonists. To evaluate the salience of a pattern or the similarity between colors, several visual models are available.

The Visually Related Posterior Pretectal Nucleus in the Non-Percomorph Teleost Osteoglossum bicirrhosum Projects to the Hypothalamus [PDF]
, 1991 This study was done to elucidate the ancestral (plesiomorphic) condition for visual pathways to the hypothalamus in teleost fishes. Three patterns of pretectal organization can be discerned morphologically and histochemically in teleosts. Their taxonomic
