Overview

Computational study demonstrates superior morphological trait imputation in birds and amphibians, highlighting robust cross-taxon prediction for ecology.

Key Points

Develop and evaluate FS-DeepRBFNet, an end-to-end deep learning framework designed to impute missing morphological trait data across diverse animal taxa.
Integrated correlation-based feature selection with a dual-layer adaptive radial basis function (RBF) network to model linear allometric trends and nonlinear relationships.
Trained the model on a species-level morphological trait dataset of Chinese birds and validated cross-taxon transferability using the Caudata amphibian database against KNN, Random Forest, and XGBoost.
FS-DeepRBFNet consistently achieved higher predictive accuracy across multiple morphological traits relative to conventional models including KNN, Random Forest, and XGBoost.
The framework demonstrated stable cross-taxon generalization and identified biologically interpretable trait associations under data-limited conditions.
