Abstract The National Ecological Observatory Network (NEON) provides over 180 distinct data products from 81 sites (47 terrestrial and 34 freshwater aquatic sites) within the United States Puerto Rico. These include both field remote sensing collected using standardized protocols sampling schema, with centralized quality assurance control (QA/QC) provided by NEON staff. Such breadth of creates opportunities for research community to extend basic applied while also extending impact reach...
Abstract To better understand the decline of one earth’s most biodiverse habitats, coral reefs, many survey programs employ regular photographs benthos. An emerging challenge is time required to annotate large volume digital imagery generated by these surveys. Here, we leverage existing machine-learning tools (CoralNet) and develop new fit-to-purpose process score benthic photoquadrats using five years data from Smithsonian MarineGEO Network’s biodiversity monitoring program at Carrie Bow...
Synopsis The caridoid or “tail flip” escape behavior of decapod crustaceans is a model system in neurobiology, but many aspects its biomechanics are not well understood. To understand how the freshwater virile crayfish Faxonius virilis interacts with substrate during tail flip, we studied tail-flip hydrodynamics and force generation for free-moving animals standing on substrate, as tethered held at different distances from substrate. We found no significant differences when distance was...
