A 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, ...

Mechanism balancing taxonomy

Simon Nessim Henein, Florent Cosandier, Hubert Pierre-Marie Benoît Schneegans

The balancing of mechanisms consists in distributing their moving masses, inertias, and elastic components in order to achieve key mechanical properties, such as the elimination of the shaking forces and moments exported onto their supporting structure or ...

Shape Models of Lucy Targets (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus from Disk-integrated Photometry

Stephan Hellmich

We use our new light curves, along with historical data, to determine the rotation state, photometric properties, and convex shape models of the targets of the Lucy mission (3548) Eurybates and (21900) Orus. We determine a retrograde spin for both targets, ...

Barcoding analysis and taxonomic revision of Goliathus Lamarck, 1802 (Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

We conducted barcoding analysis of valid taxa in the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1802 and clarified their relationships. Specimens of Goliathus goliatus (Drury, 1770) sampled in tropical rainforests from Cameroon to Kenya display degrees of genetic and phenot ...

High-throughput DNA barcoding of oligochaetes for abundance-based indices to assess the biological quality of sediments in streams and lakes

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Régis Lionel Vivien

Aquatic oligochaete communities are valuable indicators of the biological quality of sediments in streams and lakes, but identification of specimens to the species level based on morphological features requires solid expertise in taxonomy and is possible o ...

Assessment of abundance and community composition of benthic macroinvertebrates: recommendations for improved sampling, fixation and extraction of oligochaetes

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Régis Lionel Vivien

For several decades, the abundance and community structure of benthic macroinvertebrates have been studied to assess the biological quality of aquatic ecosystems. Procedures aiming at studying the whole of macroinvertebrate communities were mainly designed ...

Microbial Ecology of Methanotrophy in Streams Along a Gradient of CH4 Availability

Tom Ian Battin, Hannes Markus Peter, Paraskevi Pramateftaki, Alexandre Bagnoud

Despite the recognition of streams and rivers as sources of methane (CH4) to the atmosphere, the role of CH4 oxidation (MOX) in these ecosystems remains poorly understood to date. Here, we measured the kinetics of MOX in stream sediments of 14 sites to res ...

Remarks on the status of Fornasinius insignis ab. funereus Burgeon, 1937 (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae, Goliathini)

Michele De Palma

It was recently proposed that Fornasinius insignis ab. funereus Burgeon, 1937 be raised from the synonymy with Fornasinius fornasini Bertoloni, 1853 and recognized as a good species (Tauzin, 2017). Regrettably, this proposition was based on the misidentifi ...

Taxonomic revision of genus Fornasinius Bertoloni, 1853 with description of new taxa (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The genus Fornasinius was established in 1853 by Giuseppe BERTOLONI to receive a taxon that was sufficiently distinct from the known representatives of the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1801, to merit a different placement. Here, the type species of the genus, ...

Genetic Determinism vs. Phenotypic Plasticity in Protist Morphology

Edward Mitchell, Bjorn Jozef Maria Robroek, Mariusz Lamentowicz, Enrique Lara

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or pseudocryptic species makes finding relevant discriminant traits difficult. ...
