eDNA surveys substantially expand known geographic and ecological niche boundaries of marine fishes.

PLoS biology
Assessing species geographic distributions is critical to approximate their ecological niches, understand how global change may reshape their occurrence patterns, and predict their extinction risks. Yet, species records are over-aggregated across tax...

Hybrid plant-dairy cheese: Effects of lactic acid bacteria and plant proteins on composition, proteolysis, and flavor profile.

Food chemistry
In the search to improve the sustainability of the food supply chain, the market for plant-based cheese analogs is growing. However, sensory defects, particularly related to flavor, remain a challenge. Here we developed a hybrid plant-dairy cheese th...

Octacosanol: Biological activities and bioavailability enhancement strategies.

Food chemistry
Octacosanol (C₂₈H₅₈O) is a natural long-chain fatty alcohol that has attracted increasing attention in recent years due to its multiple biological activities, including anti-fatigue, anti-inflammatory, hypolipidemic, and antioxidant effects. However,...

Automating time frequency annotations of delphinid whistles by adapting a foundational transformer neural network.

Scientific reports
Automated detection of calls is essential to bioacoustic research where it is routine to collect large data sets that preclude effective human annotation. Automated analysis remains challenging due to variations in calls, varying noise backgrounds, a...

Capturing vocal communication in a free-living corvid: high-resolution data from low-impact miniaturized tags.

Animal cognition
Understanding vocal communication is essential to unraveling avian social behavior and cognition; however, audio recording remains particularly challenging in field studies involving wild populations. In this study, we deployed a lightweight, multi-s...

Multitarget neurostimulation of the deep brain: clinical opportunities, challenges, and emerging technologies.

Journal of neural engineering
Recent computational, pre-clinical, and clinical studies have demonstrated the potential for using neuromodulation through simultaneous targeting of multiple deep brain regions. This approach has already been used for therapeutic and systems neurosci...

Neuro-computational surrogates for aqueous fractional-order nekton-plankton spatiotemporal dynamics under toxicant stress, refuge efficacy, and nutrient flux modulation.

Water research
In aquatic ecosystems, the triadic relationship among phytoplankton, zooplankton, and their piscine predators constitutes a delicately balanced ecological continuum where nutrient cycling, toxin transfer, and spatial refugia collectively dictate popu...

Joule Heating-Driven Modulation of Analyte Partitioning in Chemically Diverse, Conducting Composite Sensor Arrays: A New Approach for Active Sensing in Machine Olfaction.

ACS sensors
Animals adapt to dynamic olfactory environments through active sensing behaviors like sniffing, which create a dynamic baseline to detect new odors. In this work, we explore the use of Joule heating of individual sensors as an efficient thermal modul...

Coupled jet coordination and physical arrangement in salp-inspired multi-robot swimming.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Salps are underwater invertebrates considered to be among the world's most energy-efficient examples of jet propulsion. They can swim as solitary individuals or as physically connected colonies, coordinating their jets to produce collective movement....
