Assessing the universality of Habitat Suitability Indexes (HSI) for brown trout (Salmo trutta L.) In relation to ecohydraulic variables
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Giulio Calvani, Francesca Padoan
The Habitat Suitability Index (HSI) is a quantitative index that determines the capacity of a given area to meet habitat requirements for a specific species with respect to given variables. The degree of universality of this index is not well understood ye ...
2024A benchmark dataset for machine learning in ecotoxicology
Kristin Schirmer, Marco Baity-Jesi, Fernando Perez Cruz
The use of machine learning for predicting ecotoxicological outcomes is promising, but underutilized. The curation of data with informative features requires both expertise in machine learning as well as a strong biological and ecotoxicological background, ...
Berlin2023Fish Diversity in Relation to Littoral Habitats in Three Basins of Lake Kivu (East Africa)
In total, 28 of the 29 fish species reported from the Lake Kivu basin occur in the littoral zone of the lake, but information about their structure, occurrence, and the habitats affecting their distribution is largely lacking. The lake's inshore area is po ...
MDPI2023A landmark environmental law looks ahead
In late December 1973, the United States enacted what some would come to call “the pitbull of environmental laws.” In the 50 years since, the formidable regulatory teeth of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) have been credited with considerable successes, ob ...
2023Social media and deep learning reveal specific cultural preferences for biodiversity
Social media has created new opportunities to map cultural ecosystem services (CES) related to biodiversity at large scales. However, using these novel data to understand people's preferences in relation to these CES remains a challenge. To address this, w ...
2023Stay close, but not too close: aerial image analysis reveals patterns of social distancing in seal colonies
Devis Tuia, Benjamin Alexander Kellenberger
Many species aggregate in dense colonies. Species-specific spatial patterns provide clues about how colonies are shaped by various (a)biotic factors, including predation, temperature regulation or disease transmission. Using aerial imagery, we examined the ...
2023Kinetic Network Modeling of the Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass's Acetate Fraction to Aromatics
Jeremy Luterbacher, Jher Hau Yeap, Bartosz Rozmyslowicz, Ahmed Mohamed Ibrahim Elkhaiary
The acetate fraction is the fourth most abundant fraction by weight in many plant species and can be easily extracted as acetic acid in high yields. We have previously shown that acetic acid obtained from steam pretreated beech wood could be upgraded in a ...
Washington2023Evaluation of genetic demultiplexing of single-cell sequencing data from model species
Single-cell sequencing (sc-seq) provides a species agnostic tool to study cellular processes. However, these technologies are expensive and require sufficient cell quantities and biological replicates to avoid artifactual results. An option to address thes ...
LIFE SCIENCE ALLIANCE LLC2023Implementation of multi-component Zhdanov closure in SOLEDGE3X
Davide Galassi, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Eric Serre
The multi-component fluid closure derived by Zhdanov (2002 Transport Processes in Multicomponent Plasma (London: Taylor and Francis)) is implemented in the fluid code SOLEDGE3X-EIRENE to deal with arbitrary edge plasma composition. The closure assumes no d ...
2022A new Analleucosma Antoine, 1989 from West Africa (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)
The genus Analleucosma Antoine, 1989 is known from northeastern and southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo and a few localities in East Africa; it currently comprises three similar species, all very scarce in collections. Here I describe a new species, ...
