The tale of the rattle: Using rattle size to understand growth and sexual dimorphism in an insular population of rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus caliginis) by Roman A. Nava, José Jesús Sigala‐Rodríguez, Nathaniel Redetzke, Ivan Villalobos‐Juarez, Cristian Franco‐Servin‐de‐la‐Mora, Ramses Rosales‐García, Rulon W. Clark

“…Here, we used a large database of rattle segment sizes recorded from island (Isla Coronado Sur, Baja California, Mexico) and mainland (Camp Pendleton, California, United States) populations of Western Rattlesnakes (Crotalus oreganus and C. o. caliginis) that separated approximately 10,000 years ago to compare body sizes at different ecdysis cycles, which allowed us to assess differences in growth rates and patterns of sexual size dimorphism. Our results show that rattlesnakes on Isla Coronado Sur appear to be born smaller and grow more slowly than their mainland counterparts, resulting in a “dwarfed” island population. …”

Leveraging U-Net and ASPP for effective fault detection in photovoltaic modules by Khalfalla Awedat, Masoud Alajmi, Mustafa Elfituri

“…Additionally, the U-Net-ASPP_Cent and U-Net-ASPP_Diag configurations provided IoU gains of 1.18% and 1.96%, respectively, while also reducing false positive rates. These results highlight the effectiveness of incorporating region-specific dilation strategies, enhancing the model’s ability to detect diverse and challenging fault patterns in complex thermal imagery. …”
