Advances in Bioinspired Interfacial Adhesion with Frictional Enhancement: From Fundamental Research to Biomimetic Applications

open access: yesSmall Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Sedimentary Architecture of the Stimson Formation at the Naukluft Plateau, Gale Crater, Mars

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Sedimentary texture, facies, and architecture can be used to reconstruct the palaeoenvironment under which sediments accumulate. On Mars, palaeoenvironmental reconstructions are used to understand ancient Martian atmospheric circulation, surface sedimentary processes, and the presence of water, to provide insight into ancient habitability and ...

Shifting rice farming to fish culture in some selected areas of Mymensingh, Bangladesh: the process, conflicts and impacts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
The evolutionary process of converting low-lying paddy fields into fish farms and its impact on agrarian communities in some selected areas of Mymensingh district were studied. This study was conducted through participatory rural appraisal (PRA) covering

Revised History of Pleistocene Vertical Motions in NE Sicily and Southern Calabria, Italy, From 40Ar/39Ar Dating and Fault Zone Morphology

open access: yesTectonics, Volume 45, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Long‐term rates of crustal uplift in southern Calabria and NE Sicily are incompletely understood due to limited information about the age of marine terraces at 1.0–1.3 km above sea level (asl). This study provides a new constraint on high‐elevation terrace ages through integrated analysis of geochronology, stratigraphy, shoreline modeling, and

Implementing Bayesian network models using expert elicitation for instream barrier assessment

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
We have demonstrated that BN modelling and expert knowledge can be used for assessing the likelihood of fish passage where empirical data are lacking or sparse. The probabilistic framework is consistent with the need to reflect that many structures are partial barriers to fish movement and cannot be represented accurately in a binary pass/fail ...

Peering into the world of wild passerines with 3D‐SOCS: Synchronized video capture and posture estimation

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 339-356, February 2026.
Abstract Collection of large behavioural data‐sets on wild animals in natural habitats is vital in ecology and evolution studies. Recent progress in machine learning and computer vision, combined with inexpensive microcomputers, has unlocked a new frontier of fine‐scale markerless measurements.

Towards ‘digital ecology’: Advances in integrating artificial intelligence from data generation to ecological insight

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 222-227, February 2026.
Abstract Ecology and artificial intelligence (AI) are becoming increasingly intertwined. Originally, the intersection between the two disciplines was driven by a critical need for AI to help process rapidly growing volumes of ecological data. Early applications primarily entailed applying AI methods to automate relatively basic tasks, such as detecting

Underrepresentation of bats in Africa's protected areas

open access: yesConservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Biodiversity is severely threatened globally, with habitat loss and other human pressures accelerating species extinctions. Protected areas (PAs) are a critical conservation tool; however, their effectiveness in safeguarding many taxa, such as bats, remains unclear.
