The need for effective biomonitoring in wastewater has become clear due to the impracticality of continuously tracking all chemicals and emerging contaminants in the aquatic exposome. Effect-based biomonitoring provides a cost-effective solution. The...

The Danube flows through various European regions, exposing its aquatic ecosystem to multiple stressors, including dams, canalization, and agricultural activities. Fertilizers, manures, pesticides, animal husbandry activities, irrigation practices, d...
This study examines the water environmental factors of the Cangshan stream and benthic animal communities by using random forest, gradient boosting decision tree, and support vector machine models to analyze the complex response mechanisms of benthic...
Invertebrate research ethics has largely been ignored compared to the consideration of higher order animals, but more recent focus has questioned this trend. Using the robotic control ofas a case study, we examine ethical considerations in invertebra...
Practical, legal, and ethical reasons necessitate the development of methods to replace animal experiments. Computational techniques to acquire information that traditionally relied on animal testing are considered a crucial pillar among these so-cal...
Fossil identification is an essential and fundamental task for conducting palaeontological research. Because the manual identification of fossils requires extensive experience and is time-consuming, automatic identification methods are proposed. Howe...
Many invertebrates are ideal model systems on which to base robot design principles due to their success in solving seemingly complex tasks across domains while possessing smaller nervous systems than vertebrates. Three areas are particularly relevan...
Invertebrate biodiversity remains poorly understood although it comprises much of the terrestrial animal biomass, most species and supplies many ecosystem services. The main obstacle is specimen-rich samples obtained with quantitative sampling techni...
Marine species are being impacted by climate change and ocean acidification, although their level of vulnerability varies due to differences in species' sensitivity, adaptive capacity and exposure to climate hazards. Due to limited data on the biolog...
