Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Environmental stress promotes the persistence of facultative bacterial symbionts in amoebae
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Amoebae are one major group of protists that are widely found in natural and engineered environments. They are a significant threat to human health not only because many of them are pathogenic but also due to their unique role as an environmental shelter

Nasal Carriage of Free-Living Amoebae [PDF]
Microbial Ecology in Health and Disease, 1988 South Australia has had a relatively high frequency of human disease caused by free-living amoebae. The prevalence of these organisms in the nasal mucosa of 262 asymptomatic adult volunteers was determined. Acanthamoeba was isolated from six (2.3 per cent) subjects.
