Classifying bird species is essential for ecological study and biodiversity protection, currently, conventional approaches are frequently laborious and susceptible to mistakes. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) provide a more reliable option for f...
The critically endangered kākāpō (Strigops habroptilus) has suffered population declines due to habitat loss, hunting, and predation. Conservation efforts, including translocation to predator-free islands, have helped increase numbers of this flightl...
The rapid increase in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) deployments has led to growing concerns about their detection and differentiation from birds, particularly in sensitive areas like airports. Existing detection systems often struggle to distinguish ...
BACKGROUND: Influenza A virus (IAV) is a major global health threat, causing seasonal epidemics and occasional pandemics. Particularly, Influenza A viruses from avian species pose significant zoonotic threats, with PB2 adaptation serving as a critica...
The radiation of angiosperms is marked by a phenomenal diversity of floral size, shape, color, scent, and reward. The multi-dimensional response to selection to optimize pollination has generated correlated suites of these floral traits across distan...
Data on the three dimensional shape of organismal morphology is becoming increasingly available, and forms part of a new revolution in high-throughput phenomics that promises to help understand ecological and evolutionary processes that influence phe...
With human activities-derived escalating climate change and rapid urbanization, avian species face significant survival challenges. Understanding the impact of human activities and environmental drivers on avian species richness is critical for effec...
There is growing interest in using deep learning models to automate wildlife detection in aerial imaging surveys to increase efficiency, but human-generated annotations remain necessary for model training. However, even skilled observers may diverge ...
Amid rapid urbanization, land use shifts in cities globally have profound effects on ecosystems and biodiversity. Birds, as a crucial component of urban biodiversity, are highly sensitive to environmental changes and often serve as indicator species ...
Most birds can navigate seamlessly between aerial and terrestrial environments. Whereas the forelimbs evolved into wings primarily for flight, the hindlimbs serve diverse functions such as walking, hopping and leaping, and jumping take-off for transi...
