Bioinspired Adaptive Leg‐Claw Enables Robust Perching and Grasping for UAVs

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by owl limb morphology and bat roosting behavior, this study presents a bioinspired adaptive leg‐claw mechanism that enables UAVs to perform robust and versatile perching and grasping. The design integrates a four‐link tibial structure, tension‐driven deformable feet, and active control, enabling stable perching on various branches and ...

Dual‐Strategy Design of Heterojunction‐Enhanced Piezoelectric Hydrogels for Periodontitis Treatment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study developed a piezoelectric hydrogel integrating heterojunction enhancement and dual‐salt synergy, combining robust electrical performance with mechanical stability and bioactivity to better match the periodontal microenvironment. Under ultrasound activation, the hydrogel markedly promotes macrophage M2 polarization, thereby reducing the ...

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Hard to Swallow: Scaling Relationships Between the Size of Avian Prey and the Overall Size and Maximal Gape of Brown Treesnakes

Ecology and Evolution
Snakes are a useful model for gaining insights into the relationships between predator and prey sizes and resource utilization because their anatomy limits the size of prey that can be swallowed whole. However, data are sparse regarding how commonly gape‐
