A mathematical approach to study stress-related behaviors in captive golden-bellied capuchins (Sapajus xanthosthernos) [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Ecology and Software, 2016
Exhibition of stress-related behaviors can be used as a criterion to evaluate the welfare of captive animals. Monitoring animal welfare is important because of ethical and conservation issues.

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Multimodal Engagement Assessment in Children During Invented Story Paradigm With a Social Robot

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A multimodal framework is proposed to assess children's engagement during storytelling interactions with a social robot. Gaze, physiological, and behavioral data are combined and validated against observer ratings. An automated gaze‐labeling strategy is introduced, and supervised classifiers achieve high accuracy. The study supports scalable engagement

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Gut bacteria prime and reinforce mature leaf oviposition preference in beetles via plant mediated feedback

open access: yesNature Communications
The gut microbiota can profoundly influence host behavior, yet underlying mechanisms for microbiota-driven behavioral adaptation remain elusive. We previously observed that female Plagiodera versicolora leaf beetles preferentially oviposit on mature ...

Technical Feasibility Study of Autonomous Field Robot‐Based on‐the‐go Assessment of Soil Nutrients Using Ion‐Sensitive Field‐Effect Transistors

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Autonomous field robots equipped with ISFET‐based sensors enable rapid, spatially resolved soil nutrient analysis directly in the field. An automated system based on the BoniRob platform is presented for standardized on‐site extraction and measurement of key macronutrients and soil pH.

Spatial Overlap and Behavioral Interactions Among Four Habronattus Jumping Spider Species in a Mixed‐Species Assemblage

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
Within mixed‐species assemblages, closely related species may face interspecific competition and reproductive interference. Species may evolve adaptations to outcompete or coexist, though most assemblages likely exist in a nonequilibrium state between ...
