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.

Can tournaments induce rational play in the centipede game? Exploring dominance vs. strategic uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yes
We compare behavior in a one-shot Centipede game across several payoff structures including nonlinear payoff tournaments. Assuming Nash to be optimal, results suggest nonlinear tournament payoffs based on overall relative rewards are not sufficient to ...

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.

A review of some characters used in the taxonomy of Cryptops (subgenus Cryptops) (Chilopoda: Scolopendromorpha: Cryptopidae)

open access: yesSoil Organisms, 2009
Variation in a number of taxonomic characters in Cryptops (Cryptops) is discussed. Some, such as the shape of the poison gland calyx and the arrangement of setae on the anterior margin of the forcipular coxosternum, are very reliable.

Artificial Shelters as a Monitoring and Conservation Tool for Terrestrial Breeding Frogs

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.
Artificial concrete and wooden shelters were tested as low‐impact tools for monitoring a cryptic terrestrial‐breeding frog, Austrochaperina robusta, in the Australian Wet Tropics. Frogs overwhelmingly preferred concrete shelters, which provided stronger thermal buffering, supported higher occupancy across seasons, and were the only shelters used for ...

A Luminous Centipede [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1896
WAS not the insect seen by Miss Rose Haig Thomas (see NATURE, p. 131) a specimen of the Myriapod Scolopendra electrica, or Geophilus electricus, a well-known luminous insect whose light is but rarely seen owing to the insect living underground and in manure heaps? It is, however, the only luminous British species.

Natural History of Dolomedes schauinslandi, a Range Restricted Fishing Spider From Hokoreroro | Rangatira | South East Island

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Zoology, Volume 53, Issue 1, March 2026.
Dolomedes schauinslandi Simon 1899 is a large fishing spiderspecies endemic to the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. Today, it only occurs on remote offshore islands, being extinct from most islands of the archipelago. Unusual for a fishing spider, D. schauinslandi has evolved a terrestrial lifestyle, inhabiting forests and feeding predominantly on cave ...

The spiny trapdoor spider Blakistonia aurea (Mygalomorphae: Idiopidae) as a model to better understand the natural history of cryptic spiders

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The diverse infraorder Mygalomorphae includes fossorial and cryptic spiders, such as tarantulas and trapdoor spiders. Their ability to disperse is often highly limited, rendering some mygalomorphs as rare short‐range endemics. These species are vulnerable to landscape changes, often hard to detect, and have poorly understood reproductive ...

Team reasoning-Experimental evidence on cooperation from centipede games.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Previous laboratory studies on the centipede game have found that subjects exhibit surprisingly high levels of cooperation. Across disciplines, it has recently been highlighted that these high levels of cooperation might be explained by "team reasoning",
