Auto‐Routing Fluidic Printed Circuit Boards

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work introduces (STREAM) software tool for routing efficiently advanced macrofluidics, an open‐source software tool for automating the design of 3D‐printable fluidic circuit boards. STREAM streamlines tube routing and layout, enabling the rapid fabrication of fluidic networks for soft robotics, lab‐on‐a‐chip devices, microfluidics, and biohybrid ...

PLANT SPECIES DIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEM FUNCTIONING IN NATIVE SAVANNAS AND GRASSLANDS OF THE PLATEAU IN THE META DEPARTMENT, COLOMBIA

Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems
Background: livestock farming has been based on establishing extensive breeding systems (i.e., low density of individuals per unit area). Despite the high diversity of flora in the savanna in the Orinoco plateau of Colombia, there is still a knowledge ...

A Habitat and a Parasite: Adult and Larval Parasitic Freshwater Mussels Impact Habitat Choice and Predator–Prey Interactions of a Host Fish and Its Prey

Ecology and Evolution
Parasitic freshwater mussels are endangered ecosystem engineers with an array of impacts on multiple trophic levels and life stages. While the impacts of adult mussels on separate trophic levels have been studied, few have directly tested how adult ...

TreeSpider: In‐Canopy Exploration With Tether‐Based Aerial Modular Arms

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A tethered drone with perching arms and a 360° ring enables unprecedented maneuverability within dense forest canopies. By dynamically adjusting tether length and decoupling pitch from the frame, it navigates between branches, senses multiple trees, and interacts physically with foliage.

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

Advanced 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.
