Digital pathology has enabled large-scale analysis of histological images. However, accurate detection of cellular nuclei remains challenging due to variability in morphology, staining, and especially image resolution. Existing object detection approaches often degrade when applied to low-resolution images, and current solutions typically address either multi-scale detection or image enhancement independently. In this work, we...
Patterns of resource use in loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta) from the Southwestern Atlantic OceanNARA Subscribed
The Southwestern Atlantic Ocean (SWAO) is an important feeding and developmental area for loggerhead turtle ( Caretta caretta ). However, long-term patterns of resource use across life stages and sexes remain poorly understood for the species in this region. Here, we used stable isotope analysis (SIA) of sequential layers of carapace scutes to investigate resource use of loggerhead turtles in the SWAO across life stages and se...
Under the current global biodiversity crisis, there is a need for automated and noninvasive monitoring techniques that can gather large amounts of data cost‐effectively at various ecological scales, from local to large spatial scales. These data can then be analyzed to inform stakeholders and decision‐makers. One such technique is passive acoustic monitoring, which is commonly coupled with automatic identification of animal sp...
Can Hematological Biomarkers Indicate Diagnoses and Prognosis in Stranded Harbor Seals ( Phoca vitulina )?NARA Subscribed
Wildlife health assessments offer critical insights in applied ecological research, but their interpretation is often limited by missing complementary data. There is heightened need for such data for European harbor seals ( Phoca vitulina vitulina ) given their recent population decline. We investigated trends in and hematological markers of health and survival of pre‐ and post‐ weaned harbor seal pups using a 10‐year rehabili...
Global warming affects aquatic organisms by increasing water temperature, which leads to changes in numerous abiotic and biotic factors. The combined effects of habitat warming and biological invasions pose a serious risk to native fish, especially if native species are more sensitive to warming than invasives. In this work, we evaluated whether increasing water temperature affects the behaviours of swimming activity, aggressi...
Nutrients on the move: Investigating large scale fatty acid exports from European ponds via emerging insectsNARA Subscribed
Permanent ponds are key landscape units that supply various ecosystem services. Notably, the export of aquatic subsidies to land via emerging insects may significantly influence terrestrial food webs. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), which enhance consumer fitness, are among the essential exported components. The patterns and drivers of dietary exports from ponds via insects remain poorly known, particularly at continental...
Motivation Here, we make available a second version of the BioTIME database, which compiles records of abundance estimates for species in sample events of ecological assemblages through time. The updated version expands version 1.0 of the database by doubling the number of studies and includes substantial additional curation to the taxonomic accuracy of the records, as well as the metadata. Moreover, we now provide an R packag...
Positive Feedback on Climate Warming by Stream Microbial Decomposers Indicated by a Global Space‐For‐Time Substitution StudyNARA Subscribed
Decomposition of plant litter is a key ecological process in streams, whose contribution to the global carbon cycle is large relative to their extent on Earth. We examined the mechanisms underlying the temperature sensitivity (TS) of instream decomposition and forecast effects of climate warming on this process. Comparing data from 41 globally distributed sites, we assessed the TS of microbial and total decomposition using lit...
Mapping the marginals: predicting unplanned human settlements in urban protected areas of Bogotá, ColombiaNARA Subscribed
Protected areas are essential for safeguarding ecosystems and their associated environmental services. In urban environments, they serve as crucial conservation zones, protecting against human encroachment. However, even with robust territorial planning, protected areas remain vulnerable to informal settlements. This study employs a landscape ecology approach to identify hotspots within Parque Entrenubes, an urban protected ar...
Macroalgae-derived oils offer a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional mineral oils and additives in lubricant formulation. Their favorable fatty acid profiles can contribute to mitigating the environmental impacts caused by using fossil-based products. This study evaluates the potential of Sargassum spp. oil, collected from the Mexican Caribbean, as a lubricity-enhancing additive in synthetic bas...
