Entropic imprints on bioinformatics by Ismail Mageed

“…Undoubtedly, entropy has a great imprint, which has already changed the way we should think of Bioinformatics based on its multi-faced nature, whether being looked at from an angle of physics, information-theoretic, thermodynamical, chaotic-led approach, and a bird-eye view of a computing perspective. The flow of the current review continues by showcasing the entropic fingerprints on Bioinformatics, resulting in many exceptional discoveries that have enormously added to the existing knowledge. …”

Enhancing Environmental Control in Broiler Production: Retrieval-Augmented Generation for Improved Decision-Making with Large Language Models by Marcus Vinicius Leite, Jair Minoro Abe, Marcos Leandro Hoffmann Souza, Irenilza de Alencar Nääs

“…Among the promising advances in artificial intelligence (AI), large language models (LLMs) hold potential to enhance decision-making in broiler production by supporting environmental control through the interpretation of climatic data, the generation of reports to optimize conditions, guidance on ventilation adjustments, recommendations for thermal management, assistance in air quality monitoring, and the translation of simulation results into actionable suggestions to improve bird welfare. For this purpose, the key limitations of LLMs in terms of transparency, accuracy, precision, and relevance must be effectively addressed. …”

Social demonstration of colour preference improves the learning of associated demonstrated actions by Noam Zurek, Na’ama Aljadeff, Donya Khoury, Lucy M. Aplin, Arnon Lotem

“…We provided learners with either paired demonstration (of both cover opening and colour preference), action-only demonstration (of opening white covers only), or no demonstration (a companion bird eating without covers). We found that sparrows failed to learn the two tasks with no demonstration, and learned them best with a paired demonstration. …”

Social mates dynamically coordinate aggressive behavior to produce strategic territorial defense. by Nicole M Moody, Cole M Williams, Sohini Ramachandran, Matthew J Fuxjager

“…However, if simulated intruders are less threatening, residents are more likely to defend solo, where only one bird deploys defensive behaviors. Overall, our study supports the hypothesis that nonhuman animals can pattern their behavior in a strategic and coordinated manner, while demonstrating the power of systems approaches for analyzing multiagent behavioral dynamics.…”
