Design and Characterization of a Dual‐Mode Soft Robotic Flapping Propeller With Pneumatic Stiffness Modulation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A novel soft robotic propeller overcomes traditional efficiency‐flexibility tradeoffs via a hybrid pneumatic‐cable actuation strategy. This architecture enables active stiffness modulation with dual‐mode locomotion: tunable biomimetic swimming and earthworm‐inspired wriggling for confined spaces.

Satellite measurement of ocean turbulence [PDF]

, 2014
Turbulence and mixing in the surface layer of the ocean is a significant element in the combined ocean-atmosphere system, and plays a considerable role in the transfer of heat, gas and momentum across the air-sea boundary.

Taxonomic reassessment of fossil Sequoia and Protosequoia from the Upper Miocene of Central Honshu, Japan, with implications for leaf morphological variation in extant S. sempervirens

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Since its emergence in the Mesozoic, Sequoia (Cupressaceae) has been considered to possess conserved leaf morphology. However, recent studies have shown that the leaves of extant S. sempervirens become smaller, with a scale form, with increasing tree height.

Preliminary Insights into the Seasonal Variation, Phylogenetic Diversity, and Biofilm-Forming Capacity of Cultivable Vibrionaceae in Coastal Biofilms of Qingdao, China

Microorganisms
Biofilm formation enables marine Vibrionaceae spp. to survive and adapt in dynamic coastal environments, yet their seasonal and substrate-related biofilm dynamics remain poorly understood. Our study investigated the seasonal distribution, biofilm-forming

Soil salinity effects on pollen and pollinator visitation in a buzz‐pollinated glycophyte, Solanum carolinense

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Human activity has significantly altered the salt cycle, affecting an estimated 2.5 billion acres of soil worldwide. Elevated soil salinity is a well‐known plant stressor, but it may also affect interactions between plants and insects, which are often sodium limited.

Future Slower Reduction of Anthropogenic Aerosols Enhances Extratropical Ocean Surface Warming Trends

Geophysical Research Letters
Global surface temperature short‐term trends fluctuate between cooling and fast‐warming under the combined action of external forcing and internal variability, significantly influencing the detectability of near‐term climate change. A key driver of these

A case of budding speciation in the California Floristic Province and infraspecific divergence in Abronia villosa

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Budding speciation occurs when peripheral populations adapt to local ecological conditions and “bud” off from a widespread progenitor species. Traditionally regarded as rare because of its sympatric and parapatric nature, budding speciation is largely understudied.
