Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Novelty Induces Behavioural And Glucocorticoid Responses In A Songbird Artificially Selected For Divergent Personalities [PDF]
, 2017 Stress physiology is thought to contribute to individual differences in behaviour. In part this reflects the fact that canonical personality measures consist of responses to challenges, including novel objects and environments.

Current Knowledge of Helminths of Wild Birds in Ecuador
BirdsParasitic helminths are diverse in wild birds globally, but knowledge about helminths in Ecuadorian avifauna is still fragmentary. In the present review, records about helminths (Platyhelminthes, Nematoda, and Acanthocephala) in Ecuadorian wild birds is ...

Ni Single Atoms in Zeolite Beta for Selective Alkyne Hydrogenation
Advanced Sustainable Systems, EarlyView.Single‐atom Ni in zeolite Beta (Ni1/BEA) selectively remove trace acetylene from ethylene. Ni1/BEA achieve full conversion with ≈89% ethylene selectivity, stable for 24 h without coking, and 12 times higher TOF than prior zeolite‐supported single‐atom Ni catalysts. Na+ exchange suppress Brønsted acid‐catalyzed oligomerization. Under ethylene‐rich feeds,

Zebra Finch Females Avoided the Scent of Males with Greater Body Condition
BirdsThe role of chemical communication in the social relationships of birds is receiving growing attention, but our knowledge is still scarce compared to that of other taxa. Previous evidence suggests that chemical cues emitted by birds may carry information
