A Vizing-type theorem for matching forests
, 2000 A well known Theorem of Vizing states that one can colour the edges of a graph by $\Delta +\alpha$ colours, such that edges of the same colour form a matching. Here, $\Delta$ denotes the maximum degree of a vertex, and $\alpha$ the maximum multiplicity of an edge in the graph. An analogue of this Theorem for directed graphs was proved by Frank.

Grip and Grasp: Lizard Claw Inspired Robotic Manipulators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Our study identifies the most effective lizard claw shape for use as an end effector in a bioinspired robotic manipulator. By examining key geometric features and combining them into comparative indices, the Crotaphytus collaris claw is found to be the best fit.

Shyness and boldness in squirrels: risk-taking while foraging depends on habitat type
, 2018 When foraging, animals must balance their energy needs with the risk of being exposed to predators. Habitats vary in predation risk, and we expect individuals to vary in shyness and boldness when foraging in different environments.

Root‐Stimulated Movements in Mimosa Pudica for Biohybrid Robotic Systems
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study demonstrates that thermal and electrical stimulation of Mimosa pudica root induces movement of the petiole and pinnules without direct stimulation of the aerial organs, thereby enabling a plant‐based robotic gripper and providing a foundation for the development of intelligent and sustainable systems.
