Beyond undulation! Body morphology and sensing components of elongated animals and robots reveal skills to maintain competent locomotion
Locomotion is an essential evolutive innovation of living beings that allows them to colonize and dominate the planet. As diverse as animal morphologies are (living) and were (extinct), their locomotion modalities are also diverse. In particular, animal mo ...
EPFL2023Perspectives on Individual Animal Identification from Biology and Computer Vision
Alexander Mathis, Maxime Michel André Vidal
Identifying individual animals is crucial for many biological investigations. In response to some of the limitations of current identification methods, new automated computer vision approaches have emerged with strong performance. Here, we review current a ...
OXFORD UNIV PRESS INC2021Jumping dynamics of aquatic animals
Jumping out of water is a phenomenon exhibited by a variety of aquatic and semi-aquatic animals. Yet, there is no common groundwork that clarifies the physical constraints required to jump out of water. In this study, we elucidate the physical conditions r ...
ROYAL SOC2019DeepFly3D, a deep learning-based approach for 3D limb and appendage tracking in tethered, adult Drosophila
Pascal Fua, Pavan P Ramdya, Helge Jochen Rhodin, Semih Günel, Daniel Eduardo Morales Garza, João Henrique Campagnolo
Studying how neural circuits orchestrate limbed behaviors requires the precise measurement of the positions of each appendage in 3-dimensional (3D) space. Deep neural networks can estimate 2-dimensional (2D) pose in freely behaving and tethered animals. Ho ...
2019A generalised framework for detailed classification of swimming paths inside the Morris Water Maze
Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Eleni Vasilaki
The Morris Water Maze is commonly used in behavioural neuroscience for the study of spatial learning with rodents. Over the years, various methods of analysing rodent data collected during this task have been proposed. These methods span from classical per ...
2018Signatures of selection and environmental adaptation across the goat genome post-domestication
Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat
Background: Since goat was domesticated 10,000 years ago, many factors have contributed to the differentiation of goat breeds and these are classified mainly into two types: (i) adaptation to different breeding systems and/or purposes and (ii) adaptation t ...
BMC2018Time-Continuous Phosphorus Flows in the Indian Agri-Food Sector: Long-Term Drivers and Management Options
Phosphorus (P) is a major agricultural nutrient and, in its mineable form, a potentially scarce resource. Countries with limited physical access to P should hence develop an effective national P governance. This requires analyses of trends and variations i ...
2018Markerless tracking of user-defined features with deep learning
Alexander Mathis, Mackenzie Mathis, Matthias Bethge, Pranav Mamidanna
Quantifying behavior is crucial for many applications in neuroscience. Videography provides easy methods for the observation and recording of animal behavior in diverse settings, yet extracting particular aspects of a behavior for further analysis can be h ...
