Multiclass classification refers to the construction of a model able to classify a response
variable that can take more than two classes. Most ecological indices are naturally …

Amniotes possess variability in sex determining mechanisms, however, this diversity is still
only partially known throughout the clade and sex determining systems still remain unknown …

The corn snake (Pantherophis guttatus) is a new model species particularly appropriate for
investigating the processes generating colours in reptiles because numerous colour and …

Classification is an important task of machine intelligence in the field of information. The

Debates regarding the origin of tropical savannas have attempted to disentangle the role of
human, biotic and abiotic factors. Understanding the origins of savanna remains essential to …

Untangling the relationships between morphology and phylogeny is key to building a
reliable taxonomy, but is especially challenging for protists, where the existence of cryptic or …

Two major obstacles to quantifying biodiversity are reticulate evolution and the evolution of
genetically distinct but morphologically overlap** cryptic species. The Spiranthes cernua …

Colour change is involved in various functions ranging from thermo-and hydroregulation to
camouflage and communication. The role of colour change in communication has received …

We conducted a study on interpopulation variation of colour patterns in two congeneric
chameleon species, which have an analogous life history. Both species are able to rapidly …

Many chameleons enjoy the notable skill to reveal complex and quick color changes for
thermoregulation, predator avoidance, sexual selection, and camouflage. This remarkable …
