Rapid and Reversible Morphing to Enable Multifunctionality in Robots
This article introduces a rapid, reversible, and repeatable morphing robot through a bistable latch‐mediated, spring actuated (LaMSA) mechanism. This enables an untethered, multifunctional robot to near‐instantaneously (< 50 ms) and reversibly switch between a flying and driving configuration to navigate through different environments.

Cellular basis of differential endochondral growth in Lake Malawi cichlids
Abstract Background The shape and size of skeletal elements is determined by embryonic patterning mechanisms as well as localized growth and remodeling during post‐embryonic development. Differential growth between endochondral growth plates underlies many aspects of morphological diversity in tetrapods but has not been investigated in ray‐finned ...

This study introduces a novel method for labeling real‐world color and infrared images using a synthetically trained system. Applied to flight test imagery, the new labels enhance object detection. The method works without expensive truth systems or camera calibration, enabling predictions on past datasets and addressing the need for high‐quality ...

A thorough analysis of event‐based vision for flapping‐wing robots is presented, with emphasis on hardware integration, suitability under challenging flight conditions, and real‐time performance. Theoretical and experimental studies demonstrate how these sensors enable robust and efficient onboard perception for ornithopters, thereby advancing autonomy

Rarity begets rarity: Social and environmental drivers of rare organisms in cities
Abstract Cities are sometimes characterized as homogenous with species assemblages composed of abundant, generalist species having similar ecological functions. Under this assumption, rare species, or species observed infrequently, would have especially high conservation value in cities for their potential to increase functional diversity.

ABSTRACT A significant proportion of young people exiting Out‐of‐Home Care (OOHC) encounter substantial challenges in securing housing, often leading to homelessness within a few months after leaving care. All Australian jurisdictions have now approved extended care programs up to 21 years; however, none of them currently offer these young people ...

Functional traits of riparian trees in the lower Fitzroy River, Western Australia
Abstract Riparian trees are critically important for maintaining the ecological function of freshwater ecosystems. Globally, anthropogenic changes to water regimes are impacting the health and distribution of riparian trees. Understanding the physiological constraints on the distribution of riparian tree species in relation to the water regime is ...

Abstract Background Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is an excruciating unilateral facial pain, which negatively affects patient's quality of life. Historically, it has been difficult to compare treatment efficacy due to the lack of standardized outcomes. In addition, patients' perspective has seldomly been acknowledged.
