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 ...

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.

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 34, Issue 11, November 2024.ABSTRACT Freshwater mussels are a globally threatened taxon, but little is known about population trajectories for species outside Europe and North America. To contribute to understanding of mussel conservation status outside these regions, we surveyed mussel and other invertebrate populations in waterbodies across Dhaka, Bangladesh, to assess ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2024.Native Bluegill Sunfish had important competitive impacts on invasive Western Mosquitofish and also had intraguild predation effects that prevented successful recruitment of Western Mosquitofish. In contrast, Bluegill Sunfish were affected by intraspecific effects more than by interspecific effects from Western Mosquitofish.

Environmental DNA, Volume 6, Issue 6, November–December 2024.We demonstrated the effectiveness of eDNA metabarcoding as a valuable addition to bottom trawling for monitoring the species composition and spatial distribution of fish and crustacean communities in urban estuaries. We also showed that a multiplexed‐marker approach enhances species detection, especially in some taxa, for example, cartilaginous fish ...
