Popfinder: A Highly Effective Artificial Neural Network Package for Genetic Population Assignment.

Molecular ecology resources
The ability to assign biological samples to source populations with high accuracy and precision based on genetic variation is important for numerous applications from ecological studies through wildlife conservation to epidemiology. However, populati...

Identifying the combined impact of human activities and natural factors on China's avian species richness using interpretable machine learning methods.

Journal of environmental management
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...

A framework for assessing reliability of observer annotations of aerial wildlife imagery, with insights for deep learning applications.

PloS one
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 ...

Exploring the impact of land use on bird diversity in high-density urban areas using explainable machine learning models.

Journal of environmental management
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 ...

Fast ground-to-air transition with avian-inspired multifunctional legs.

Nature
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...

Bird-inspired reflexive morphing enables rudderless flight.

Science robotics
Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yet they fly stably rudderless in turbulence without needing discrete flaps to steer. In contrast, nearly all airplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch roll oscillations and to control yaw. The few exceptions tha...

The influence of neighbor selection on self-organized UAV swarm based on finite perception vision.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Recently, vision-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarming has emerged as a promising alternative that can overcome the adaptability and scalability limitations of distributed and communication-based UAV swarm systems. While most vision-based cont...

TSOM: Small object motion detection neural network inspired by avian visual circuit.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Detecting small moving objects in complex backgrounds from an overhead perspective is a highly challenging task for machine vision systems. As an inspiration from nature, the avian visual system is capable of processing motion information in various ...

Utilizing machine learning and hemagglutinin sequences to identify likely hosts of influenza H3Nx viruses.

Preventive veterinary medicine
Influenza is a disease that represents both a public health and agricultural risk with pandemic potential. Among the subtypes of influenza A virus, H3 influenza virus can infect many avian and mammalian species and is therefore a virus of interest to...

A Deep Learning Framework for Real-Time Bird Detection and Its Implications for Reducing Bird Strike Incidents.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Bird strikes are a substantial aviation safety issue that can result in serious harm to aircraft components and even passenger deaths. In response to this increased tendency, the implementation of new and more efficient detection and prevention techn...
