Use of multi-modelling methods to inform conservation and reintroductions of pine marten Martes martes in Britain
Authors: MacPherson Jenny , Wright Patrick , Schumaker Nathan , Watkins Sydney
Published: November 2024

The successful onset of recovery of the European pine marten (Martes martes) in some parts of Britain through range expansion and, more recently translocation for reintroductions, has resulted in a strong interest in reintroduction projects throughout the country. However, the geographic scope and conservation goals of these initiatives are often local and lack consideration of how they fit within the wider context of national-scale pine marten conservation. Here, we aim to maximize conservation benefit strategically at a national level by developing a simple, transparent, and transferable framework based on landscape modelling methods and spatially explicit population viability analyses. Our new methodology has been developed specifically to inform decisions involving the spatial targeting of pine marten conservation measures. We began by applying habitat suitability and connectivity modelling at a national scale. Then, we performed spatially explicit life history simulations to assess the natural recovery of the species. This information was used to identify regions of interest for future reintroductions, and we performed subsequent simulations to assess the viability of a reintroduced population within each region. From all the regions assessed, we identified two that should be prioritized for further consideration based on our analyses of habitat suitability, connectivity and the viability of reintroduced populations. While our framework can be used to identify and prioritize regions of conservation value generally, our focus here is on the biological considerations associated with identifying suitable landscapes for pine marten reintroduction.

Biomedical literature is growing exponentially, creating challenges for researchers and clinicians to access relevant information efficiently. Automatic biomedical text summarization is a promising solution to this issue, allowing the extraction of essential information while reducing redundancy. Traditional summarization techniques often rely on shallow linguistic features or simple term frequencies, which fail to capture the complex relationships in biomedical texts. This paper explores advanced methods for biomedical text summarization, including graph-based approaches, frequent item set mining, and deep learning models such as BERT. The proposed framework introduces a hybrid optimization technique combining Colliding Bodies Optimization (CBO) and Cuckoo Search Optimization (CSO) for optimal keyword selection, alongside a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for sentence categorization. Extensive experimentation using UMLS-based concept extraction, keyword selection, and Apriori-based itemset mining demonstrates that the proposed method significantly outperforms existing models in both the in formativeness and coherence of generated summaries. The results reveal that combining deep language models with domain-specific knowledge enhances summarization quality and can be effectively applied to diverse types of biomedical text.

Fake news has become a significant problem in recent years, leading to widespread misinformation and public manipulation. This research focuses on developing an effective fake news detection model using advanced machine learning and deep learning techniques. Existing methodologies face challenges such as poor performance with large datasets, noise, and limited generalization. The proposed solution integrates pre-processing, feature extraction, optimal feature selection via Spider Monkey Optimization (SMO), and a deep neural network (OAF-DNN) with optimized activation functions. The model's performance will be validated using publicly available datasets and analyzed through various evaluation metrics. This study aims to enhance the accuracy, precision, and detection of fake news.

Síndrome de Bardet-Biedl (SBB) (OMIM 209900/ ORPHA: 110). El SBB es un síndrome genético muy poco frecuente, de herencia autosómica recesiva con compromiso multisistémico y gran variabilidad en su presentación clínica y genética. Es una ciliopatía con afectación multisistémica, causada por mutaciones patogénicas en genes que impactan en las estructuras de ciertas proteínas presentes en los cilios celulares. Hasta el momento, se han identificado al menos 26 genes asociados con el SBB. Las manifestaciones clínicas de esta enfermedad son diversas y afectan a varios sistemas del cuerpo, siendo comunes desde la infancia. La distrofia retiniana de conos y bastones, la polidactilia, la obesidad central de difícil manejo, las anomalías genitales, el hipogonadismo, los defectos renales, las dificultades de aprendizaje con retraso madurativo y el trastorno del lenguaje son las principales características de esta condición. En el año 2018, Ladino et al. publicaron criterios clínicos para el diagnóstico del SBB (3). Es importante señalar que, a causa de la variabilidad en las características físicas, no todos los individuos con SBB cumplen con dichos criterios. Para su establecimiento, se necesitan cuatro criterios principales o una combinación de tres criterios principales y dos secundarios, como se indica en la Tabla 1. El diagnóstico se establece a través de análisis genéticos moleculares específicos. La retinosis pigmentaria sindrómica es la segunda causa más común de degeneración retiniana y afecta a más del 96% de los pacientes. La distrofia de conos y bastones se manifiesta como una afectación macular temprana, caracterizada por ceguera nocturna inicial, seguida de pérdida gradual de la visión periférica, disminución en la discriminación del color y pérdida global de la agudeza visual. Además, es posible establecer conexiones con otras anomalías oculares, tales como estrabismo, astigmatismo, cataratas, entre otras (1,4). La obesidad central suele manifestarse durante el primer año de vida, a pesar de que el peso al nacer se encuentra dentro de los parámetros normales. Durante la pubertad, se manifiesta el hipogonadismo con un retraso en el inicio de las características sexuales secundarias. La nefropatía afecta a aproximadamente el 20–53% de los pacientes, siendo la enfermedad renal crónica la principal causa de morbimortalidad. (1,2,4,5) Con menor frecuencia, se observan casos de hipoacusia, anosmia o hiposmia, alteraciones dentales como apiñamiento, hipodoncia y alteraciones en el esmalte, enfermedades gastrointestinales como la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal y la celiaquía, hepatopatías, lesiones dermatológicas como la dermatitis seborreica y la queratosis pilaris, defectos cardíacos como el situs inversus, así como apnea o hipopnea del sueño.
