Deep learning-assisted comparative analysis of animal trajectories with DeepHL.

Nature communications
A comparative analysis of animal behavior (e.g., male vs. female groups) has been widely used to elucidate behavior specific to one group since pre-Darwinian times. However, big data generated by new sensing technologies, e.g., GPS, makes it difficul...

Optimization of Ecological Water Supplement Scheme for Improved Suitable Habitat Area for Rare Migratory Birds in Nature Reserves Using Interval-Parameter Fuzzy Two-Stage Stochastic Programming Model.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The optimization of ecological water supplement scheme in Momoge National Nature Reserve (MNNR), using an interval-parameter two-stage stochastic programming model (IPTSP), still experiences problems with fuzzy uncertainties and the wide scope of the...

Applications of machine learning in behavioral ecology: Quantifying avian incubation behavior and nest conditions in relation to environmental temperature.

PloS one
In the age of machine learning, building programs that take advantage of the speed and specificity of algorithm development can greatly aid efforts to quantify and interpret changes in animal behavior in response to abiotic environmental factors, lik...

Dynamic performances of a bird-like flapping wing robot under randomly uncertain disturbances.

PloS one
The nonlinear dynamics of a bird-like flapping wing robot under randomly uncertain disturbances was studied in this study. The bird-like flapping wing robot was first simplified into a two-rod model with a spring connection. Then, the dynamic model o...

TMTCPT: The Tree Method based on the Taxonomic Categorization and the Phylogenetic Tree for fine-grained categorization.

Bio Systems
Fine-grained categorization is one of the most challenging problems in machine vision. Recently, the presented methods have been based on convolutional neural networks, increasing the accuracy of classification very significantly. Inspired by these m...

Birds have peramorphic skulls, too: anatomical network analyses reveal oppositional heterochronies in avian skull evolution.

Communications biology
In contrast to the vast majority of reptiles, the skulls of adult crown birds are characterized by a high degree of integration due to bone fusion, e.g., an ontogenetic event generating a net reduction in the number of bones. To understand this proce...

Trunk pitch oscillations for energy trade-offs in bipedal running birds and robots.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Bipedal animals have diverse morphologies and advanced locomotion abilities. Terrestrial birds, in particular, display agile, efficient, and robust running motion, in which they exploit the interplay between the body segment masses and moment of iner...

Robust sound event detection in bioacoustic sensor networks.

PloS one
Bioacoustic sensors, sometimes known as autonomous recording units (ARUs), can record sounds of wildlife over long periods of time in scalable and minimally invasive ways. Deriving per-species abundance estimates from these sensors requires detection...

Artificial intelligence and avian influenza: Using machine learning to enhance active surveillance for avian influenza viruses.

Transboundary and emerging diseases
Influenza A viruses are one of the most significant viral groups globally with substantial impacts on human, domestic animal and wildlife health. Wild birds are the natural reservoirs for these viruses, and active surveillance within wild bird popula...

Quadrotor Identification through the Cooperative Particle Swarm Optimization-Cuckoo Search Approach.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
This paper explores the model parameters estimation of a quadrotor UAV by exploiting the cooperative particle swarm optimization-cuckoo search (PSO-CS). The PSO-CS regulates the convergence velocity benefiting from the capabilities of social thinking...
