... However, theoretically, resection is required in clinical surgery, which requires further discussion and experimentation [33][34][35]. In conclusion, this study provides a good quantitative reference for the clinician to delimit the lesion area before surgery and resection during surgery [36]. At the same time, peritumoral dilation can alleviate, to a certain extent, the problems such as the loss of effective features or the extraction of invalid features caused by the inaccurate edge of the lesion caused by automatic segmentation error. ...

... Nevertheless, the Guiana Shield biodiversity is severely threatened by gold mining which induces deforestation, soil degradation, and river mercury contamination (Cantera et al., 2022;Coutant et al., 2023;Timsina et al., 2022). Considering this combination of high richness, high endemism, and increasing anthropogenic threats, particular attention should be paid to the management of the Guiana Shield freshwater ecosystems. ...

... To independently verify the validity of label data and CNN results, vegetation survey plots for each vegetation class were extracted from the CSIRO HAVPlot dataset [58], a compilation of over 200,000 Australian vegetation survey plots and approximately 6 million observations of the occurrence of flora, predominantly recorded at the species level. HAVPlot species observations for each vegetation class were compared with 2018 label and model data for the study area, and the number of matches was determined. ...

... After decades of rapid development, applications of HSIs have made remarkable progress, especially in the field of satellite hyperspectral remote sensing [1]. Various satellites, such as Earth Observing 1 (EO-1) [2], Huanjing-1A (HJ-1A) [3], Gaofen-5 (GF-5) [4], DLR Earth Sensing Imaging Spectrometer (DESIS) [5], preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) [6], and Gaofen-14 (GF-14) [7] have been launched in recent decades, of which the spatial and spectral resolution have experienced significant improvement [7]. Compared with airborne HSIs, satellite HSIs have obvious advantages in ground applications at large scale, such as mineral exploration [4], precise agriculture [8], ecological monitoring [5], and land cover classification [9]. ...

... Calibration refers to data used to help convert raw remote-sensing data to usable measures of reflectance, whereas validation refers to the use of data to determine the accuracy/precision of products resulting from analysis. These activities give rise to the question of whether citizen science can play a role in generating field data (plot or point-based) from vegetation and ecosystem conditions that can be used to calibrate and/or validate remotely sensed data products [12]. Remotely sensed data provides a very broad spatial and temporal coverage, but the resolution and ability to extract useful indicators such as habitat, vegetation condition and biodiversity, requires ongoing access to data for image training, calibration and validation [13]. ...

... Despite this, the robustness and amount of genetic data used to propose conservation strategies can still be considered very incipient in several species (Andrello et al., 2022;Hoban et al., 2022). Incorporating genetic information into real-world conservation planning can still be considered a challenge despite the genetic composition (within-species genetic variation) being considered fundamental in maintaining biodiversity (Hoban et al., 2022;Shaw et al, 2023). The genetic composition is a measure of within-species diversity that helps in species adaptation and maintaining fitness (Hoban et al., 2022). ...

... Estimating the long-term prospects of 153 plant species in the context of environmental changes require an understanding of the 154 complex relationships among these traits and how they affect adaptive responses. These 155 characteristics are carefully considered for well-informed conservation efforts in order to 156 increase plant populations' resilience and ability for adaptation (Andrew et al., 2022). ...

... However, the possibility of using geospatial biodiversity assessment has significantly expanded the practical application of the obtained data. Nowadays, the methods of geoinformation systems are widely applied for biodiversity analysis all over the world [6][7][8][9][10][11]. As a result, these approaches significantly increase the effectiveness of protected area planning [12][13][14]. ...

... Since the radial pattern around watering points is clearly visible from satellite imagery, recent studies have been conducted by interpreting and modeling the remote sensing data [13,14], which can be processed in a semi-automated and repeatable manner over large and distant regions. For this reason, different remote-sensing models that utilize geographic information systems techniques have been created to calculate the spatial spread of various elements in the vicinity of watering points [5,[13][14][15]. ...

... To test our hypothesis on beta diversity pattern (H 2 ), we used a Bayesian bootstrap extension of generalized dissimilarity modelling (BBGDM), as implemented in the R package 'bbgdm' version 1.0.1 (Woolley et al., 2017). Generalized dissimilarity modelling is a matrix regression technique that incorporates variation in the rate of compositional turnover along an environmental or spatial gradient (nonstationarity) in a monotonic nonlinear fashion (Ferrier et al., 2007;Mokany et al., 2022). Because the elements of a dissimilarity matrix are not fully independent, BBGDM uses a Bayesian bootstrap procedure to correct the uncertainty of model parameters (Woolley et al., 2017). ...
