LarvaeCountAI: a robust convolutional neural network-based tool for accurately counting the larvae of Culex annulirostris mosquitoes.

Acta tropica
Accurate counting of mosquito larval populations is essential for maintaining optimal conditions and population control within rearing facilities, assessing disease transmission risks, and implementing effective vector control measures. While existin...

Artificial intelligence correctly classifies developmental stages of monarch caterpillars enabling better conservation through the use of community science photographs.

Scientific reports
Rapid technological advances and growing participation from amateur naturalists have made countless images of insects in their natural habitats available on global web portals. Despite advances in automated species identification, traits like develop...

A Biomimetic Adhesive Disc for Robotic Adhesion Sliding Inspired by the Net-Winged Midge Larva.

Soft robotics
Net-winged midge larvae (Blephariceridae) are known for their remarkable ability to adhere to and crawl on the slippery surfaces of rocks in fast-flowing and turbulent alpine streams, waterfalls, and rivers. This remarkable performance can be attribu...

A nondestructive technique for the sex identification of third instar Cochliomyia macellaria larvae.

Journal of forensic sciences
Forensic entomology plays an important role in medicolegal investigations by using insects, primarily flies, to estimate the time of colonization. This estimation relies on the development of the flies found at the (death) scene and can be affected (...

Artificial neural networks as a tool for seasonal forecast of attack intensity of Spodoptera spp. in Bt soybean.

International journal of biometeorology
Soybean (Glycine max) is the world's most cultivated legume; currently, most of its varieties are Bt. Spodoptera spp. (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) are important pests of soybean. An artificial neural network (ANN) is an artificial intelligence tool that ...

A machine learning based method for tracking of simultaneously imaged neural activity and body posture of freely moving maggot.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications
To understand neural basis of animal behavior, it is necessary to monitor neural activity and behavior in freely moving animal before building relationship between them. Here we use light sheet fluorescence microscope (LSFM) combined with microfluidi...

Behavioral toxicological tracking analysis of Drosophila larvae exposed to polystyrene microplastics based on machine learning.

Journal of environmental management
Microplastics, as a pivotal concern within plastic pollution, have sparked widespread apprehension due to their ubiquitous presence. Recent research indicates that these minuscule plastic particles may exert discernible effects on the locomotor capab...

Rapid automated 3-D pose estimation of larval zebrafish using a physical model-trained neural network.

PLoS computational biology
Quantitative ethology requires an accurate estimation of an organism's postural dynamics in three dimensions plus time. Technological progress over the last decade has made animal pose estimation in challenging scenarios possible with unprecedented d...

Early Identification of Root Damages Caused by Western Corn Rootworms Using a Minimally Invasive Root Phenotyping Robot-MISIRoot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Western corn rootworm (WCR) is one of the most devastating corn rootworm species in North America because of its ability to cause severe production loss and grain quality damage. To control the loss, it is important to identify the infection of WCR a...

Automatic method based on deep learning to identify and account Rhipicephalus microplus larval hatching.

Medical and veterinary entomology
Reports of Rhipicephalus microplus resistant populations worldwide have increased extensively, making it difficult to control this ectoparasite. The adult immersion test, commonly used to screen for acaricide resistance, produces the results only aft...
