The diversity, community dynamics, and interactions of the microbiome in the world’s deepest blue hole: insights into extreme environmental response patterns and tolerance of marine microorganisms

Microbiology Spectrum, 2023
Blue holes are unique marine sinkholes with extreme environments and biogeochemical processes. However, our understanding of community dynamics, functional profiles, and microbial interactions in blue holes remains limited.

Solvent‐Rich Pre‐Coagulation Bath for Tunable Liquid‐State Fusion Enables Robust Two‐Step Polymer Embedded Printing

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables complex structures, but polymer printing often suffers from poor interlayer fusion and defects induced by heat or binders. A two‐step, room‐temperature strategy based on immersion phase separation (IPS‐E3DP) achieves precise liquid‐state fusion with high structural fidelity, enhanced mechanical performance, broad material

Cross-scale habitat structure driven by coral species composition on tropical reefs

Scientific Reports, 2017
The availability of habitat structure across spatial scales can determine ecological organization and resilience. However, anthropogenic disturbances are altering the abundance and composition of habitat-forming organisms.

Insights Into the Environmental Impact on Genetic Structure and Larval Dispersal of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish in the South China Sea

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
The coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) play a major role in coral reef degradation in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the impacts of environmental factors on the phylogenetic and genetic characteristics of COTS in the ...

Advances in Invertebrate Biohybrid Robotics: Leveraging Nature for Locomotion and Sensing in Engineered Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Reflexive thematic analysis and men's embodiment following injury or illness: A worked example

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Reflexive thematic analysis (reflexive TA) originated within psychology and the social sciences and has become an increasingly popular qualitative analytic method across a range of disciplines. In this article, we offer a brief methodological guide for researchers hoping to use the method, suitable for beginners through to those experienced in
