Our recent research in @PLOSBiology outlines BehaveAI, a framework that combines deep learning with motion awareness to track and classify behaviour. This enables efficient characterisation of complex behaviours via enhanced salience. doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Our recent publication quantifies the burden of Varroa treatment non-adherence on honey bee health at a national level. There is strong evidence that poor treatment adherence constitutes a major and underreported driver of large scale colony mortality.

Our recent research in @CommsBio outlines VespAI, an AI system that uses deep learning to detect Asian hornets. This aims to provide an automated monitoring capability to limit hornet incursions at the invasion front.
