FINGERPRINTING SNAKES: PALEONTOLOGICAL AND PALEOECOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF ZYGANTRAL GROWTH RINGS IN SERPENTES

Fingerprinting snakes: paleontological and paleoecological implications of zygantral growth rings in Serpentes

We introduce a new non-destructive source of skeletochronological data with applications to species identification, associating disarticulated remains, assessing minimum number of individuals (MNI), and collection management of fossil snakes, but with potential implications for all bony vertebrates, extinct or extant.Study of a diverse sample of Re

Beyond the Edge: Markerless Pose Estimation of Speech Articulators from Ultrasound and Camera Images Using DeepLabCut

Automatic feature extraction from images of speech articulators is currently achieved by detecting edges.Here, we investigate the use of pose estimation deep neural nets with transfer learning to perform markerless estimation of speech articulator keypoints using only a few hundred hand-labelled images as training input.Midsagittal ultrasound image
