A computational framework for inferring species dynamics and interactions with applications in microbiota ecology.

NPJ systems biology and applications
We present MBPert, a generic computational framework for inferring species interactions and predicting dynamics in time-evolving ecosystems from perturbation and time-series data. In this work, we contextualize the framework in microbial ecosystem mo...

Ecological epidemiology insights into clonorchiosis endemicity in Guangxi, China and Vietnam: a comprehensive machine learning analysis.

International journal of health geographics
BACKGROUND: Clonorchis sinensis, the liver fluke responsible for clonorchiosis, presents a persistent public health burden in Guangxi (Southern China) and Vietnam. Its transmission is influenced by a complex interplay of ecological, climatic, and soc...

Bio-inspired robotics in times of ecological crisis: an attempt at self-criticism.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This article attempts to show that current trends in bio-inspired robotics research are incompatible with the transformations needed to address the current ecological crisis. A large part of the scientific community takes refuge behind short-term cha...

Classification of Mycena and Species Using Deep Learning Models: An Ecological and Taxonomic Approach.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Fungi play a critical role in ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity and providing economic and biotechnological value. In this study, we developed a novel deep learning-based framework for the classification of seven macrofungi species from the ge...

New solutions for antibiotic discovery: Prioritizing microbial biosynthetic space using ecology and machine learning.

PLoS biology
With the explosive increase in genome sequence data, perhaps the major challenge in natural-product-based drug discovery is the identification of gene clusters most likely to specify new chemistry and bioactivities. We discuss the challenges and stat...

Generative AI as a tool to accelerate the field of ecology.

Nature ecology & evolution
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models specializing in the generation of new data with the statistical patterns and properties of the data upon which the models were trained has profoundly influenced a range of academic disci...

Robots and animals teaming up in the wild to tackle ecosystem challenges.

Science robotics
Interactively teaming up animals and robots could facilitate basic scientific research and address environmental and ecological crises.

Do China's ecological civilization advance demonstration zones inhibit fisheries' carbon emission intensity? A quasi-natural experiment using double machine learning and spatial difference-in-differences.

Journal of environmental management
China's National Ecological Civilization Demonstration Zone (NECDZ) policy has a significant role in ensuring national ecological security, and it is essential to investigate how the NECDZ policy affects the carbon emissions intensity of fisheries (C...

Does artificial intelligence affect the ecological footprint? -Evidence from 30 provinces in China.

Journal of environmental management
Artificial intelligence (AI) technology serves as a powerful tool to optimize energy efficiency and lessen ecological footprints. Using data from 30 provinces in China over the period from 2018 to 2022, this study investigates how regional AI develop...

The changing landscape of text mining: a review of approaches for ecology and evolution.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
In ecology and evolutionary biology, the synthesis and modelling of data from published literature are commonly used to generate insights and test theories across systems. However, the tasks of searching, screening, and extracting data from literatur...
