Generative AI as a tool to accelerate the field of ecology
The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (AI) models specializing in the generation of new data with the statistical patterns and proper…
Archaean green-light environments drove the evolution of cyanobacteria’s light-harvesting system
Cyanobacteria induced the great oxidation event around 2.4 billion years ago, probably triggering the rise in aerobic biodiversity. While chlorop…
Genetic basis of camouflage in an alpine plant and its long-term co-evolution with an insect herbivore
Camouflage through colour change can involve reversible or permanent changes in response to cyclic predator or herbivore pressures. The evolution o…
The genetic origins of species boundaries at subtropical and temperate ecoregions in the North American racers (Coluber constrictor)
Phylogeographically structured lineages are a common outcome of range-wide population genetic studies. In the southeastern United States, disconnec…
Maternal effects in the model system Daphnia: the ecological past meets the epigenetic future
Maternal effects have been shown to play influential roles in many evolutionary and ecological processes. However, understanding how environmental …
A deep learning framework based on structured space model for detecting small objects in complex underwater environments
Regular monitoring of marine life is essential for preserving the stability of marine ecosystems. However, underwater target detection presents sev…
