Invertebrate biodiversity remains poorly understood although it comprises much of the
terrestrial animal biomass, most species and supplies many ecosystem services. The main …

Understanding how biological communities respond to environmental changes is a key
challenge in ecology and ecosystem management. The apparent decline of insect …

Fast and reliable identification of insect species is crucial for pest management, animal
quarantine, and effective utilization of insect resources. Traditional morphological …

Fruit flies has a big biological and economic importance for the farming of different tropical
and subtropical countries in the World. Specifically in Brazil, third largest fruit producer in the …

The high-resolution devices for image capturing and the high professional requirement for
users, are very complex to extract features of the fruit fly image for classification. Therefore, a …

Identification of taxonomy at a specific level is time consuming and reliant upon expert
ecologists. Hence the demand for automated species identification increased over the last …

On the basis of the problem that the image background is simple and the traditional shooting
equipment of fruit flies is too high, this study improved the convolutional neural network …

Introgression should no longer be considered as rare a phenomenon as once thought, since
several studies have recently documented gene flow between closely related and radiating …

BACKGROUND Images and DNA sequences are two important methods for identifying fruit
fly species. In addition, the identification of insect species complexes is highly problematic …

The discriminative information of fruit fly images often exists in a very fine region, resulting in
hard extracting the desired features from the entire image level. Hence, it is a tough task to …
