ALANizer is a low-cost tool for introducing and monitoring artificial light at night to study its effects on ecosystems, with a feasibility study showing its effectiveness in tracking arthropod activity.

flatbug, a YOLOv8 instance-segmentation model with multi-scale tile-pyramid inference and polygon-based deduplication, segments terrestrial arthropods across 23 image subdatasets and transfers to held-out subdatasets with a modest F1 penalty.
