BUZZ KILL: FUNCTION AND PROTEOMIC COMPOSITION OF VENOM FROM THE GIANT ASSASSIN FLY DOLOPUS GENITALIS (DIPTERA: ASILIDAE)

Buzz Kill: Function and Proteomic Composition of Venom from the Giant Assassin Fly Dolopus genitalis (Diptera: Asilidae)

Assassin flies (Diptera: Asilidae) inject paralysing venom into insect prey during hunting, but their venoms are poorly characterised in comparison to those produced by spiders, scorpions, or hymenopteran insects.Here we investigated the composition of the venom of the giant Australian assassin fly Dolopus genitalis using a combination of insect mi

MarshCover: A Web-based Tool for Estimating Vegetation Coverage in Marsh Images Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Marsh ecosystems are some of our most important, serving many crucial ecological functions.They are also rapidly changing, and it is vital for scientists to track these changes.This includes monitoring the health of marshes via estimating ground coverage by various grass species, a task that requires human labor to look at marsh images and manually
