A benchmark dataset for machine learning in ecotoxicology

Kristin Schirmer, Fernando Perez Cruz

The use of machine learning for predicting ecotoxicological outcomes is promising, but underutilized. The curation of data with informative features requires both expertise in machine learning as well as a strong biological and ecotoxicological background, ...

Numerical simulation of the fate, transport and public health risks of enteric viruses in Lake Geneva

Chaojie Li

Lakes are a fundamental feature of nature with brilliance, profoundness and complexity. Various of physical, chemical and biological changes take place three dimensionally in deep lakes, regulated by complicated boundary conditions. To understand and predi ...

A new Analleucosma Antoine, 1989 from West Africa (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The genus Analleucosma Antoine, 1989 is known from northeastern and southeastern Democratic Republic of Congo and a few localities in East Africa; it currently comprises three similar species, all very scarce in collections. Here I describe a new species, ...

Taxonomic notes on Caelorrhina Hope, 1841, Coelorrhina Burmeister, 1842 and related genera

Michele De Palma

We here review the taxonomic standing of several generic names in the African Cetoniinae and re-establish Coelorrhina Burmeister, 1842 (= Cyprolais Thomson 1880 syn. nov.) as the first available name for Cetonia quadrimaculata Fabricius, 1781. ...

Barcoding analysis and taxonomic revision of Goliathus Lamarck, 1802 (Scarabaeidae, Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

We conducted barcoding analysis of valid taxa in the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1802 and clarified their relationships. Specimens of Goliathus goliatus (Drury, 1770) sampled in tropical rainforests from Cameroon to Kenya display degrees of genetic and phenot ...

Diet modulates cecum bacterial diversity and physiological phenotypes across the BXD mouse genetic reference population

Johan Auwerx, Evan Graehl Williams

The BXD family has become one of the preeminent genetic reference populations to understand the genetic and environmental control of phenotypic variation. Here we evaluate the responses to different levels of fat in the diet using both chow diet (CD, 13-18 ...

Taxonomic revision of genus Fornasinius Bertoloni, 1853 with description of new taxa (Scarabaeidae: Cetoniinae)

Michele De Palma

The genus Fornasinius was established in 1853 by Giuseppe BERTOLONI to receive a taxon that was sufficiently distinct from the known representatives of the genus Goliathus Lamarck, 1801, to merit a different placement. Here, the type species of the genus, ...

A unique coral biomineralization pattern has resisted 40 million years of major ocean chemistry change

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Isabelle Domart-Coulon

Today coral reefs are threatened by changes to seawater conditions associated with rapid anthropogenic global climate change. Yet, since the Cenozoic, these organisms have experienced major fluctuations in atmospheric CO2 levels (from greenhouse conditions ...

COI Barcoding of Nebelid Testate Amoebae (Amoebozoa: Arcellinida): Extensive Cryptic Diversity and Redefinition of the Hyalospheniidae Schultze

Enrique Lara

We used Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit 1 (COI) to assess the phylogenetic relationships and taxonomy of Nebela sensu stricto and similar taxa (Nebela group, Arcellinida) in order to clarify the taxonomic validity of morphological characters. The COI data not o ...

Biogeography, Evolution and Diversity of Free-Living Protists : Insights from Testate Amoebae

Although widely recognized as essential actors of ecosystem processes and representing a significant part of the Earth's biodiversity, free-living protists are poorly known. Major questions concerning their diversity, ecology, and evolution remain complete ...

Synthesis of a C-linked disaccharide analogue of the Thomsen Friedenreich (TF)-epitope a-O-conjugated to L-serine and formation of a cluster as potential anticancer vaccine

Loay Awad

Cell surface glycoproteins and glycolipids are responsible for cellular recognition processes. Vaccination is the procedure whereby the immune system is induced to create antibodies against a foreign molecule involved in disease or viral infection. In many ...
