intSDM : an R package for building a reproducible workflow for the field of integrated species distribution models

P. S. Mostert, R. Bjorkas, A. J. H. M. Bruls, W. Koch, E. C. Martin, S. W. Perrin

The paper introduces intSDM, an R package that provides a reproducible workflow for integrating biodiversity data into Species Distribution Models (SDMs) to improve their power and standardization.

Recognizability bias in citizen science photographs

W. Koch, L. Hogeweg, E. B. Nilsen, R. B. O'Hara, A. G. Finstad

This study identifies a recognizability bias in citizen science photographs, where species harder to recognize are underreported, affecting model training and future performance.

Maximizing citizen scientists' contribution to automated species recognition

W. Koch, L. Hogeweg, E. B. Nilsen, A. G. Finstad

This study shows that adding images of under-represented species improves recognition models more than adding more images of well-represented species.

Cold-triggered induction of ROS- and raffinose metabolism in freezing-sensitive taproot tissue of sugar beet

I. Keller, C. Müdsam, C. Martins Rodrigues, D. Kischka, W. Zierer, U. Sonnewald, K. Harms, O. Czarnecki, K. Fiedler-Wiechers, W. Koch, H. E. Neuhaus, F. Ludewig, B. Pommerrenig

The paper compares freezing responses in sugar beet genotypes with different tolerance levels, finding that raffinose and its precursors accumulate in pith tissue of tolerant genotypes, suggesting a protective role against freezing damage.

Vernalization alters sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) sink and source identities and reverses phloem translocation from taproots to shoots

C. Martins Rodrigues, C. Müdsam, I. Keller, W. Zierer, O. Czarnecki, J. M. Corral, F. Reinhardt, P. Nieberl, F. Sommer, M. Schroda, T. Mühlhaus, K. Harms, U.-I. Flügge, W. Koch, F. Ludewig, , B. Pommerrenig

This study shows vernalization in sugar beets reverses sink-source dynamics by altering phloem translocation and gene expression, leading to sugar remobilization from taproots to shoots.
