Self‐Propelled Morphing Matter for Small‐Scale Swimming Soft Robots

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 34, Issue 52, December 23, 2024.
Bioinspired morphing swimmers are designed integrating chemical protein motors and photoresponsive liquid crystal networks. This approach gives access to five interchangeable modes of locomotion within a single swimming robot via shape‐morphing of the soft structure. The proposed design, which mimics the mechanisms of surface gliding and posture change

Co‐Occurrence Patterns of Aquatic Macroinvertebrates in Laurentian Great Lakes Coastal Wetlands

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 12, December 2024.
We investigated community structure and species co‐occurrence patterns in Great Lakes coastal wetlands benthic macroinvertebrates using null models. We developed a framework and approach to address recent controversy over the use of presence‐absence matrices and null models to infer ecological interactions from non‐random co‐occurrence patterns using ...

Predation of salamander egg sacs by the water strider Gerris (Macrogerris) insularis Motschulsky (Hemiptera: Gerridae)

Entomological Science, Volume 27, Issue 4, December 2024.
Water striders (Hemiptera: Gerridae) are well known to prey mainly on insects that fall on the water surface but also feed on other organisms. Here, we report on the predation on egg sacs of Hynobius nigrescens (Caudata: Hynobiidae) by Gerris (Macrogerris) insularis from field observation and a rearing experiment.
