Automated species recognition of antbirds in a Mexican rainforest using hidden Markov models
(2008)Behavioral and ecological studies would benefit from the ability to automatically identify species from acoustic recordings. The work presented in this article explores the ability of hidden Markov models to distinguish ...

The bacterial metabolite 2-aminoacetophenone promotes association of pathogenic bacteria with flies
(2014)Bacteria contaminate insects and secrete metabolites that may affect insect behaviour and potentially fitness through unknown mechanisms. Here we show that the 'grape-like' odorant 2-aminoacetophenone (2AA), secreted by ...
