Smart Bioinspired Material‐Based Actuators: Current Challenges and Prospects
Advanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.This work gathers, in a review style, an extensive and comprehensive literature overview on the development of autonomous actuators based on synthetic materials, bringing together valuable knowledge from several studies. Furthermore, the article identifies the fundamental principles of actuation mechanisms and defines key parameters to address the size

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract While multiple factors explain low adoption rates of improved varieties by small‐scale farmers in sub‐Saharan Africa, a key supply‐side constraint is the limited availability of seed embodying new traits in the volume, quality, price, and timeliness required by farmers. This constraint is partly attributable to classical failures in the market

Climate change and perennial crop production: Evidence of yield impact and adaptation in California
American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.Abstract Perennial crops are economically important. They contribute to food security, providing essential nutrients that are often lacking in annual crops, and provide additional environmental benefits compared with annual crops. Despite their importance, empirical research on the impacts of climate change and adaptation on perennial crops remains ...

Studies on self- and cross-pollination of olives under varying temperature conditions
California Agriculture, 1961 Investigations with Ascolano, Manzanillo, and Sevillano olive varieties show that chances of fertilization and fruit set are much greater after cross-pollination than after self-pollination.

High‐elevation endemic plants predicted to lose habitat from changing climate in Washington State
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise High‐elevation plants face unique challenges from potential climate change impacts that will likely require upslope migration into increasingly smaller suitable habitat. This situation is particularly acute for endemic species that by definition occupy small geographic ranges.

Pollination by flies, bees, and beetles of Nuphar ozarkana and N. advena (Nymphaeaceae) [PDF]
, 2000 Nuphar comprises 13 species of aquatic perennials distributed in the temperate Northern Hemisphere. The European species N. lutea and N. pumila in Norway, the Netherlands, and Germany are pollinated by bees and flies, including apparent Nuphar ...

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Changing climates are leading to more frequent and severe heat waves, potentially threatening plant populations. Both acclimation to stress and selection for heat‐escape or heat‐resistance phenotypes occur during heat waves. However, plastic responses and selection do not necessarily interact cohesively—even producing trait responses ...

Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2014 Oil-collecting bees are the natural pollinators of oil-flower plants, but little is known about the pollination process and the effectiveness of their pollination service to the reproductive success of their host plants.
