Multimodal Locomotion in Insect‐Inspired Microrobots: A Review of Strategies for Aerial, Surface, Aquatic, and Interfacial Motion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Ecological effects of interplanted sweet alyssum and alfalfa in an organic day-neutral strawberry production system

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution
Production of day-neutral strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa) is increasing in the Upper Midwest region of the USA, resulting in an extended strawberry harvest season compared to traditional June-bearing production systems.

Consensus Formation and Change are Enhanced by Neutrality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Neutral agents are shown to enhance both the formation and overturning of consensus in collective decision‐making. A general mathematical model and experiments with locusts and humans reveal that neutrality enables robust consensus via simple interactions and accelerates consensus change by reducing effective population size.

Coral settlement induction by tetrabromopyrrole is widespread among Caribbean corals and compound specific

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Tetrabromopyrrole (TBP) is a readily biosynthesized marine proteobacterial compound that induces coral settlement (attachment and metamorphosis) at concentrations ranging from 50 – 250 ng ml-1 (0.13 – 0.65 µM). This suggests a great potential for the use
