Citizens’ Eyes on Mnemiopsis: How to Multiply Sightings with a Click!
نویسندگان
چکیده
Monitoring the spreading of marine invasive species represents one most relevant challenges for scientists in order to understand their impact on environment. In recent years, citizen science is becoming more and involved research programs, especially taking advantage new digital technologies. Here, we present results obtained first 20 months (from 12 July 2019 8 March 2021) since launching avvistAPP. This app was conceived track ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi Adriatic Sea; it also designed collect sightings 18 additional taxa (ctenophores, jellyfish, sea turtles, dolphins, salps noble pen shell). A total 1224 were recorded, which 530 referred Mnemiopsis, followed by scyphozoan jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo (22%), Cotylorhiza tuberculata (11%) Aurelia spp. (8%). avvistAPP produced data confirming presence (often abundances > individuals m−2) along almost entire Italian coast summer 2020.

How many sightings to model rare marine species distributions
Despite large efforts, datasets with few sightings are often available for rare species of marine megafauna that typically live at low densities. This paucity of data makes modelling the habitat of these taxa particularly challenging. We tested the predictive performance of different types of species distribution models fitted to decreasing numbers of sightings. Generalised additive models (GAM...
متن کاملHow to Multiply Dynamic Programming Algorithms
We develop a theory of algebraic operations over linear grammars that makes it possible to combine simple “atomic” grammars operating on single sequences into complex, multi-dimensional grammars. We demonstrate the utility of this framework by constructing the search spaces of complex alignment problems on multiple input sequences explicitly as algebraic expressions of very simple 1-dimensional...
متن کاملHow peroxisomes multiply.
With every cell division, peroxisomes duplicate and are segregated between progeny cells. Here, we discuss the different modes of peroxisome multiplication and the machinery that is involved in each case. Peroxisomes have been considered by many to be peripheral to mainstream cell biology. However, this is changing in response to the recent finding that peroxisomes obtain membrane constituents ...
متن کاملHow to Fake Multiply by a Gaussian Matrix
Have you ever wanted to multiply an n × d matrix X , with n d, on the left by an m × n matrix G̃ of i.i.d. Gaussian random variables, but could not afford to do it because it was too slow? In this work we propose a new randomized m× n matrix T , for which one can compute T ·X in only O(nnz(X)) + Õ(m · d) time, for which the total variation distance between the distributions T ·X and G̃ ·X is as s...
متن کاملa comparison of teachers and supervisors, with respect to teacher efficacy and reflection
supervisors play an undeniable role in training teachers, before starting their professional experience by preparing them, at the initial years of their teaching by checking their work within the proper framework, and later on during their teaching by assessing their progress. but surprisingly, exploring their attributes, professional demands, and qualifications has remained a neglected theme i...
