Image segmentation models trained only with image-level labels have become increasingly popular as they require significantly less annotation effort than models trained with scribble, bounding box or pixel-wise annotations. While methods utilizing im...
BACKGROUND: Identifying species, particularly small metazoans, remains a daunting challenge and the phylum Nematoda is no exception. Typically, nematode species are differentiated based on morphometry and the presence or absence of certain characters...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are effective biocontrol agents, reducing pesticide impact on health and the environment. Understanding their physiology and ethology is crucial for optimizing their application. This study offers innovative insights...
Parasites in fish muscle present a significant problem for the seafood industry in terms of both quality and health and safety, but the low contrast between parasites and fish tissue makes them exceedingly difficult to detect. The traditional method ...
Pine wilt disease caused by the pine wood nematode, , has profound implications for global forestry ecology. Conventional PCR methods need long operating time and are complicated to perform. The need for rapid and effective detection methodologies to...
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) exhibit a bending-elastic instability, or kink, before becoming airborne, a feature previously hypothesized but not substantiated to enhance jumping performance. Here, we provide the evidence that this kink is crucia...
