Impacts of duration and intensity of artificial light at night on life history, mating, food consumption, and chemical surface profiles of a leaf beetle species

Basic and Applied Ecology
Artificial light at night (ALAN) is a global change factor of rapidly growing importance. It has been linked to various changes in species physiology, behaviour, communication, and life history. While most studies compared absence vs.

Toward Complex In‐Car Environment Human–Vehicle Interactions Through Smart Glasses and sEMG‐Based Gesture Recognition

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a novel weighted random forest multimodal fusion method that combines smart glasses and sEMG data for in‐vehicle gesture interaction. It realizes stable performance in dim, occluded, and other constrained scenarios, providing feasible solutions and laying a foundation for universal human–machine interaction.

Artificial light at night alters earthworm communities and soil aggregation

The global expansion of artificial light at night (ALAN) threatens many plants and animals. However, potentially important predicted impacts on earthworm communities, both directly (dALAN) and through plant‐mediated pathways (plant‐mediated ALAN), remain

Behaviorally Adaptive and Inclusive Advanced Driver‐Assistance Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Advanced driver‐assistance systems (ADASs) are mapped as evolving human‐centered, adaptive technologies linking sensing, driver monitoring, AR/HUD interfaces, patents, regulation, and inclusive design. The review identifies gaps in real‐world evidence, diverse‐driver validation, gaze metrics, and governance, outlining a roadmap for safer, behaviorally ...

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...
