Centipede predation on vertebrates: a review with the first bat case from Asia

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Centipedes (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha), long regarded as generalist arthropod predators, are increasingly recognized for their capacity to subdue and consume small vertebrates.

True Lies: Using Proteomics to Assess the Accuracy of Transcriptome-Based Venomics in Centipedes Uncovers False Positives and Reveals Startling Intraspecific Variation in Scolopendra subspinipes

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Centipede venoms have emerged as a rich source of novel bioactive compounds. However, most centipede species are commonly considered too small for venom extraction and transcriptomics is likely to be an attractive way of probing the molecular diversity ...

Automated Benchmarking of Variable‐Property Soft Robotic Fingertips to Enable Task‐Optimized Sensor Selection

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
Sensorized fingertips are needed to unlock robotic dexterity, versatility, and diverse interactions. Here, 15 identically‐shaped robotic fingertips are benchmarked by a fully automated toolchange system, covering eight different materials and six broadly‐ranging sensing mechanisms.

BACKWARD INDUCTION: MERITS AND FLAWS

open access: yesStudies in Logic, Grammar and Rhetoric, 2017
Backward induction (BI) was one of the earliest methods developed for solving finite sequential games with perfect information. It proved to be especially useful in the context of Tom Schelling’s ideas of credible versus incredible threats.

The presumed oldest flying insect: more likely a myriapod? [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2017
The early fossil record of insects is scarce, with only few finds in the Devonian. All these finds appear problematic and controversial, partly due to incomplete preservation and challenging interpretation of many structures. We provide details of one of

Individual Differences in EWA Learning with Partial Payoff Information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We extend experience-weighted attraction (EWA) learning to games in which only the set of possible foregone payoffs from unchosen strategies are known, and estimate parameters separately for each player to study heterogeneity.

All graphs with at most seven vertices are Pairwise Compatibility Graphs

open access: yes, 2012
A graph $G$ is called a pairwise compatibility graph (PCG) if there exists an edge-weighted tree $T$ and two non-negative real numbers $d_{min}$ and $d_{max}$ such that each leaf $l_u$ of $T$ corresponds to a vertex $u \in V$ and there is an edge $(u,v) \

Potential for the American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) to contribute to biological control in a vegetable agroecosystem

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus) is a native insectivorous amphibian common in agricultural fields in eastern North America. Past research on this and related species suggests potential for positive or negative effects on pest populations, depending on the prevalence of intraguild predation.
