Evolution and biological control [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2012 Opinions about the value of biological control are often extreme. Colloquially, biological control most often refers to classical biological control, in which one species is introduced from another region to control pests such as arthropod herbivores in agricultural systems, or weeds in managed and natural systems.1 As such, biological control has the ...

, 2020 Abstract The first biological control project in Cuba concerned the introduction of the parasitoid Eretmocerus serius in 1929, resulting in successful classical biocontrol of citrus blackfly in citrus. The subsequent biocontrol success that is still in use on large areas today was obtained in the 1940s by mass rearing and releasing the native ...

Structure-based approach can identify driver nodes in ensembles of biologically-inspired Boolean networks [PDF]
, 2023 Because the attractors of biological networks reflect stable behaviors (e.g., cell phenotypes), identifying control interventions that can drive a system towards its attractors (attractor control) is of particular relevance when controlling biological systems.

Bioinspired Smooth Neuromorphic Control for Robotic Arms [PDF]
, 2022 Beyond providing accurate movements, achieving smooth motion trajectories is a long-standing goal of robotics control theory for arms aiming to replicate natural human movements. Drawing inspiration from biological agents, whose reaching control networks effortlessly give rise to smooth and precise movements, can simplify these control objectives for ...

A second functional furin site in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein
Emerging Microbes and Infections, 2022 The ubiquitously-expressed proteolytic enzyme furin is closely related to the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 and therefore represents a key target for antiviral therapy. Based on bioinformatic analysis and pseudovirus tests, we discovered a second functional
