A low-cost way for assessing bird risk hazards in power lines: Fixed-wing small Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2014)Accidents on power lines are one of the most important causes of man-induced mortality for raptors and soaring birds. The factors that condition the hazard have been extensively studied, and currently there are a variety ... -
A practical approach with drones, smartphones, and tracking tags for potential real-time animal tracking
(2023)Drones are increasingly used for fauna monitoring and wildlife tracking; however, their application for wildlife tracking is restricted by developing such systems. Here we explore the potential of drones for wildlife ... -
Adapting astronomical source detection software to help detect animals in thermal images obtained by unmanned aerial systems
(2017)In this article, we describe an unmanned aerial system equipped with a thermal-infrared camera and software pipeline that we have developed to monitor animal populations for conservation purposes. Taking a multi-disciplinary ... -
Addressing significant challenges for animal detection in camera trap images: a novel deep learning-based approach.
(Springer-Nature, 2025-05-09)Wildlife biologists increasingly use camera traps for monitoring animal populations. However, manually sifting through the collected images is expensive and time-consuming. Current deep learning studies for camera trap ... -
Advancing road ecology in Africa with robust analyses and cautious inferences: a response to Jackson et al. (2017)
(The Zoological Society of London, 2017)Jackson et al. (2017) have written an extensive commentary on our published study of ungulate behavioral responses to roads and traffic in South Africa (Mulero-Pázmány, D'Amico & González-Suárez, 2016). We welcome the ... -
An African West Nile virus risk map for travellers and clinicians.
(2022-12-19)West Nile virus (WNV). Due to the difficulty of its diagnosis, little is known about its distribution in Africa. Understanding the geographic extent of risk of WNV infections is a necessity for both travellers and clinicians ... -
Anatomical, histochemical and immunohistochemical characterisation of the cardiac outflow tract of the silver arowana, Osteoglossum bicirrhosum (Teleostei: Osteoglossiformes).
(Elsevier, 2016-09)El tracto de salida cardíaco de los condrictios y actinopterigios está compuesto por un cono arterioso miocárdico y un bulbo arterioso no miocárdico. En los teleósteos, el cono ha sufrido una reducción de tamaño a lo largo ... -
Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Dorsal Aortic Sinus and its Relationship with Aortic Valve Morphology in Syrian Hamsters.
(1995)Se analizó la válvula aórtica y el origen de las arterias coronarias en 2.413 hámsteres sirios de entre 1 y 823 días de edad, pertenecientes a nueve familias consanguíneas de laboratorio. Los especímenes se estudiaron con ... -
Anticipating the locations in Europe of high-risk areas for West Nile virus outbreaks in 2021
(WILEY, 2021)West Nile virus infections in humans are continuously increasing, and the virus has spread considerably in Europe over the past decade. The incidence of the disease was unusually high between 2018 and 2020. The resulting ... -
Applying fuzzy logic to assess the biogeographical risk of dengue in South America
(BMC Springer Nature, 2019)Over the last decade, reports about dengue cases have increase worldwide, which is particularly worrisome in South America due to the historic record of dengue outbreaks from the seventeenth century until the first half ... -
Applying fuzzy logic to assess the biogeographical risk of dengue in South America.
(BMC - Parasites & Vectors, 2019-09-05)Over the last decade, reports about dengue cases have increase worldwide, which is particularly worrisome in South America due to the historic record of dengue outbreaks from the seventeenth century until the first half ... -
Assessing the risk of Myiopsitta monachus (Monk Parakeet) invasion: Global perspectives and implications
(Oxford Academic, 2025-05-09)Biological invasions are major threats to ecosystems and global economies, often exacerbated by human activities, such as trade and tourism. Myiopsitta monachus (Monk Parakeet), native to South America, is an example of ... -
Bacterial density rather than diversity correlates with hatching success across different avian species
(Oxford University Press, 2018)Bacterial communities within avian nests are considered an important determinant of egg viability, potentially selecting for traits that confer embryos with protection against trans-shell infection. A high bacterial density ... -
Bicuspid Aortic Valve in 2 Model Species and Review of the Literature
(Sage Publications INC, 2020-02-21)Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common human congenital cardiac malformation. Although the etiology is unknown for most patients, formation of the 2 main BAV anatomic types (A and B) has been shown to rely on ... -
Cardiomyocyte-Specific Wt1 Is Involved in Cardiac Metabolism and Response to Damage.
(MDPI, 2023-05-12)The Wilms tumor suppressor gene (Wt1) encodes a C2H2-type zinc-finger transcription factor that participates in transcriptional regulation, RNA metabolism, and protein–protein interactions. WT1 is involved in the development ... -
Challenges and perspectives in the epigenetics of climate change-induced forests decline
(Frontiers, 2022)Forest tree species are highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. As sessile organisms with long generation times, their adaptation to a local changing environment may rely on epigenetic modifications when allele ... -
Characterization of epicardial-derived cardiac interstitial cells: differentiation and mobilization of heart fibroblast progenitors
(2013)The non-muscular cells that populate the space found between cardiomyocyte fibers are known as 'cardiac interstitial cells' (CICs). CICs are heterogeneous in nature and include different cardiac progenitor/stem cells, ... -
Climate change is aggravating dengue and yellow fever transmission risk
(John Wiley & Sons Ltd, 2024)Dengue and yellow fever have complex cycles, involving urban and sylvatic mosquitoes, and non-human primate hosts. To date, efforts to assess the effect of climate change on these diseases have neglected the combination ... -
