MSCPUnet: A multi-task neural network for plot-level crop classification in complex agricultural areas by Kedi Fang, Shengwei Zhang, Yongting Han, Lin Yang, Meng Luo, Lu Liu, Qian Zhang, Bo Wang

“…Leveraging this capability, a crop classification framework is proposed, which first extracts crop attributes from Sentinel-2 (S2) time series data. The plot information obtained from the MSCPUnet model is then combined with the area dominance method to assign crop attributes to vector plots, facilitating crop structure identification at the plot scale. …”

First Molecular Identification of <i>Cotylophoron cotylophorum</i> in Ecuador and Its Phylogenetic Relationship with <i>Fasciola hepatica</i> by Geanella Barragán-López, Fausto Bedoya-Páez, María Lugo-Almarza, Carolina Fonseca-Restrepo, Francisco Angulo-Cubillán, Edison J. Romero, Jacobus H. de Waard, Armando Reyna-Bello

“…Distinct single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ITS2 chromatograms suggest a diploid genome structure in both trematode species. This is the first report of <i>C. cotylophorum</i> in Ecuador, and its presence may be linked to the late 19th-century introduction of Zebu cattle (<i>Bos taurus indicus</i>) from India.…”

Towards climate-resilient conservation: Integrating genetics and environmental factors in determining adaptive units of a xeric shrub by Yong-Zhi Yang, Pei-Wei Sun, Chong-Yi Ke, Min-Xin Luo, Jui-Tse Chang, Chien-Ti Chao, Run-Hong Gao, Pei-Chun Liao

“…ENM identified the central-east and west-north regions as optimal habitats, while GF analysis revealed seed and breeding zones based on 1637 climate-adaptive SNPs, indicating significant genetic differentiation linked to temperature and precipitation. Population structure analysis revealed both congruences and discrepancies between genetic and climatic clustering, particularly in peripheral regions, suggesting that adaptive genes may not follow isolation-by-distance rules like neutral genes. …”
