Cryptic species and hybridisation in corals: challenges and opportunities for conservation and restoration by Riginos, Cynthia, Popovic, Iva, Meziere, Zoe, Garcia, Vhon, Byrne, Ilha, Howitt, Samantha M., Ishida, Hisatake, Bairos-Novak, Kevin, Humanes, Adriana, Scharfenstein, Hugo, Richards, Thomas, Briggs, Ethan, Clark, Vanessa, Lei, Chuan, Khan, Mariam, Prata, Katharine E.

“…Here, we investigate the prevalence of cryptic coral groups and assess evidence for their permeability to gene flow (hybridisation) via a structured literature review of genomic studies. Using reproducible criteria to detect distinct genetic groups that are sympatric, we find that 68% of nominal species represented in population genomic studies show evidence for comprising partially reproductively isolated groups and that these distinct groups are often linked by gene flow. …”

<inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mathrm{D}^{3}$</tex-math></inline-formula>T: Deep Denoising Dictionary Tensor for Hyperspectral Anomaly Detection by Qiangqiang Shen, Zonglin Liu, Hanzhang Wang, Yanhui Xu, Yongyong Chen, Yongsheng Liang

“…Hyperspectral anomaly detection (HAD) approaches with tensor low-rank representation (TLRR) have shown engaging performance, which are capable of capturing abundant spectral and spatial information and, hence, extracting sparse anomalies from the low-rank background without ruining the intrinsic geometric structures of tensor data. However, existing HAD approaches construct the low-rank representation by a handcrafted dictionary that still contains the anomalies, resulting in an inferior representation. …”
