Phylogenetic Analysis of the North American Beetle Genus Trichiotinus (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Trichiinae) by T. Keith Philips, Mark Callahan, Jesús Orozco, Naomi Rowland

“…The ancestral Trichiotinus lineage arose from 23.8–14.9 mya, and east-west geographic partitioning of ancestral populations likely resulted in cladogenesis and new species creation, beginning as early as 10.6–6.2 mya and as recently as 1.2–0.7 mya. Morphological character evolution is also briefly discussed. …”

Identification of Maize Kernel Varieties Using LF-NMR Combined with Image Data: An Explainable Approach Based on Machine Learning by Chunguang Bi, Xinhua Bi, Jinjing Liu, He Chen, Mohan Wang, Helong Yu, Shaozhong Song

“…Before modeling, principal component analysis (PCA) was used to determine the distribution features of the internal components for each maize variety. Subsequently, LF-NMR features and image morphological data were integrated to construct a classification model and the SVM hyperparameters were optimized using an improved differential evolution algorithm, achieving a final classification accuracy of 96.36%, which demonstrated strong robustness and precision. …”
