Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Long-term consequences of Bti applications on aquatic insect emergence: Insights from a 4-year mesocosm study

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Aquatic biomass and essential nutrients can subsidize terrestrial food webs. However, stressors in the aquatic ecosystem, such as the non-chemical mosquito control agent Bti (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis), may affect such subsidies by changing the ...

Heterogeneous Wettability‐Based Construction of Two‐Phase Interfaces for Underwater Reversible Adhesion

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The design employs heterogeneous wettability surfaces that construct stable oil‐water interfaces to achieve robust and rapid reversible adhesion. Linear enhancement of adhesion strength is realized through multi‐interface patterning. This adhesive enables rapid on‐demand detachment within five seconds via voltage‐induced electrolysis, offering a level ...

An introduced plant affects aquatic-derived carbon in the diets of riparian birds. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Non-native plants can impact riparian ecosystem function through diverse terrestrial and aquatic pathways, with cascading effects on food webs. Invasion-mediated vegetation changes can depress terrestrial arthropod communities and alter arthropod flux ...

Relationships among tissues, biofluids, and otolith selenium concentrations in wild female burbot (Lota lota)

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In the Lake Koocanusa‐Kootenai River system (Montana, USA and British Columbia, Canada), selenium (Se) contamination has become an international concern and is suspected to contribute to the observed burbot (Lota lota) population collapse. Due to our limited ability to sample burbot in Lake Koocanusa for monitoring studies, we used a reference

Protection against Mycobacterium ulcerans lesion development by exposure to aquatic insect saliva.

open access: yesPLoS Medicine, 2007
BackgroundBuruli ulcer is a severe human skin disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. This disease is primarily diagnosed in West Africa with increasing incidence. Antimycobacterial drug therapy is relatively effective during the preulcerative stage of
