Lateral line morphology, sensory perception and collective behaviour in African cichlid fish
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 The lateral line system of fishes provides cues for collective behaviour, such as shoaling, but it remains unclear how anatomical lateral line variation leads to behavioural differences among species.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.A mechanics‐informed machine learning framework enables mechanics field prediction and inverse design of tendon–bone enthesis‐inspired functionally graded materials that reduce stress concentration and failure risk. By coupling multiscale finite element modeling, convolutional field prediction, and kernel‐based inverse design, the study uncovers ...

The hydraulic mechanism in the hind wing veins of Cybister japonicus Sharp (order: Coleoptera)
Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2016 The diving beetles (Dytiscidae, Coleoptera) are families of water beetles. When they see light, they fly to the light source directly from the water. Their hind wings are thin and fragile under the protection of their elytra (forewings).

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite mounting regulatory pressure and growing scientific consensus on biodiversity loss, most corporate action remains reactive, fragmented, and strategically peripheral. Existing frameworks address what firms should report rather than how they can build the organizational capabilities required to act strategically.

Insect-Inspired Micropump: Flow in a Tube with Local Contractions
Micromachines, 2015 A biologically-inspired micropumping model in a three-dimensional tube subjected to localized wall constrictions is given in this article. The present study extends our previous pumping model where a 3D channel with a square cross-section is considered ...

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Inspired by insights gleaned from biomimicry theory, this paper addresses the persistent lack of theoretically grounded research in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and examines how nature‐inspired biomimicry principles could enhance various dimensions of its competitiveness. This study's theoretical contribution lies in its proposal
