The perils of taxonomic inconsistency in quantitative palaeoecology: experiments with testate amoeba data

A fundamental requirement of quantitative palaeoecology is consistent taxonomy between a modern training set and palaeoecological data. In this study we assess the possible consequences of violation of this requirement by simulating taxonomic errors in tes ...

Identification of Scarabaeus micans Drury and taxonomic notes on Dicronorhina Hope, with description of a new species (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The complex of Dicronorhina Hope taxa without cretaceous marks on head and body (“micans group”) is here diagnosed, discussed and revised. The type species of the genus, Scarabaeus micans Drury, 1773, is identified and re-described. D. johnstoni Waterhouse ...

Benchmarking classification techniques using the Opportunity human activity dataset

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Ricardo Andres Chavarriaga Lozano, Hesam Sagha, Daniel Roggen

Human activity recognition is a thriving research field. There are lots of studies in different sub-areas of activity recognition proposing different methods. However, unlike other applications, there is lack of established benchmarking problems for activi ...

Biogeography, Evolution and Diversity of Free-Living Protists

Thierry Jean Heger

Although widely recognized as essential actors of ecosystem processes and representing a significant part of the Earth's biodiversity, free-living protists are poorly known. Major questions concerning their diversity, ecology, and evolution remain complete ...

PLSI: the true Fisher Kernel and beyond

Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Emmanuel Eckard

The Probalistic Latent Semantic Indexing model, introduced by T. Hofmann (1999), has engendered applications in numerous fields, notably document classification and information retrieval. In this context, the Fisher kernel was found to be an appropriate do ...

Taxonomic Revision of Eudicella White (Coleoptera: Cetoniinae) and Iconographic Catalogue

Michele De Palma

The genus Eudicella White comprises horned cetoniines widespread in the sub-Saharan Africa. Two subgenera, Eudicella (Eudicella) White and Eudicella (Cyprolais) Thomson, compose the genus. Here, the remarkably uniform subgenus Eudicella (Eudicella) is revi ...

Quantifying the taxonomic diversity in real species communities

Cécile Caretta Cartozo, Marc Barthélemy

We analyze several florae (collections of plant species populating specific areas) in different geographic and climatic regions. For every list of species we produce a taxonomic classification tree and we consider its statistical properties. We find that r ...

Self-Assembly at the Macroscopic Scale

Roderich Gross

In this paper, we review half a century of research on the design of systems displaying (physical) self-assembly of macroscopic components. We report on the experience gained in the design of 22 such systems, exhibiting components ranging from passive mech ...
