Deep learning models link local cellular features with whole-animal growth dynamics in zebrafish.

Life science alliance
Animal growth is driven by the collective actions of cells, which are reciprocally influenced in real-time by the animal's overall growth state. Whereas cell behavior and animal growth state are expected to be tightly coupled, it is not yet determine...

Integrating weight and imaging features: A machine learning framework for larval instar identification in (Walker).

Bulletin of entomological research
The oriental armyworm, (Walker), is a highly migratory pest known for its sudden larval outbreaks, which result in severe crop losses. These unpredictable surges pose significant challenges for timely and accurate monitoring, as conventional methods...

Instar identification and weight prediction of (Guenée) larvae using machine learning.

Bulletin of entomological research
The Asian corn borer, (Guenée), emerges as a significant threat to maize cultivation, inflicting substantial damage upon the crops. Particularly, its larval stage represents a critical point characterised by significant economic consequences on maiz...

Efficacy of Mandarin Crust Oil, Marigold Extract and Their Nanoemulsions, on (Boisd.) Larvae.

Pakistan journal of biological sciences : PJBS
<b>Background and Objective:</b> In recent years, nanoemulsions have been used to target pest toxicity due to the dangers of chemical pesticides. The current study investigated the insecticidal activity of the mandarin crust oil (<i>...

A controllable dual-catapult system inspired by the biomechanics of the dragonfly larvae's predatory strike.

Science robotics
The biomechanics underlying the predatory strike of dragonfly larvae is not yet understood. Dragonfly larvae are aquatic ambush predators, capturing their prey with a strongly modified extensible mouthpart. The current theory of hydraulic pressure be...

Rongchang and Xifeng capsules suppress pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures and change rest/wake behavior in zebrafish larvae.

Journal of traditional Chinese medicine = Chung i tsa chih ying wen pan
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of Rongchang capsule and Xifeng capsule on pentylenetetrazole- induced epilepsy in zebrafish larvae and to explore the possible mechanisms behind their actions.

Assessing Mosquito Breeding Sites and Abundance Using An Unmanned Aircraft.

Journal of the American Mosquito Control Association
An unmanned aircraft system (UAS; i.e., drone) with an attached multispectral camera was used to quantify accumulated surface water on a 0.54-km tidal marsh that abuts San Francisco Bay, CA, USA. The results of the survey showed unequal accumulation ...

In vitro and in vivo Nematocidal Activity of Allium sativum and Tagetes erecta Extracts Against Haemonchus contortus.

Turkiye parazitolojii dergisi
OBJECTIVE: In the Mexican ethno-medicine, a number of plants have shown a successful anthelmintic activity. This fact could be crucial to identify possible green anti-parasitic strategies against nematodes affecting animal production. This research e...

Ontogenic retinal changes in three ecologically distinct elopomorph fishes (Elopomorpha:Teleostei) correlate with light environment and behavior.

Visual neuroscience
Unlike the mammalian retina, the teleost fish retina undergoes persistent neurogenesis from intrinsic stem cells. In marine teleosts, most cone photoreceptor genesis occurs early in the embryonic and larval stages, and rods are added primarily during...
