Movement Mechanisms Harness Lévy Flight for Energy‐Efficient Wastewater Treatment in Microalgae–Bacteria Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, our novel model that integrates metabolism with motility dynamics reveals that microalgae shift bacterial movement toward Lévy flight patterns, enhancing encounter rates and self‐aggregation. This microecological manipulation reduces energy costs, strengthens functions such as pollutant removal and system stability.

Microbial Community Succession Sustains Fish Diversity in the Upper Yangtze River Reserve

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Critical for river ecosystem sustainability, fish diversity relates to multitrophic microbes. This upper Yangtze FNNR study used eDNA to examine microbial succession‐fish links, finding key drivers, distinct assembly processes, and that microbial cross‐trophic interactions benefit fish, offering conservation insights.

Organic farms as refuges for small mammal biodiversity in agro ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Habitat fragmentation, the process by which relatively continuous habitats is broken into smaller pieces, occurs in natural systems but is to a high degree also human-induced through landscape use.

A Resistive Soft Robotic Exosuit for Dynamic Body Loading in Hypogravity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The resistive hypogravity exosuit is a lightweight wearable robotic exosuit that uses pneumatic artificial muscles to restore Earth‐like metabolic and muscular demands during locomotion in low gravity. Tested on healthy subjects in Earth and simulated Moon gravity, the suit restores energy expenditure and muscle activation without altering gait ...

Multi‐Habitat Landscape Promotes Microbial Diversity: Insights from the Traditional Agricultural Heritage and the Global Trend

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
The 2500‐year‐old Mulberry‐dyke and Fish‐pond agricultural heritage system reveals how interconnected habitats foster microbial diversity. Multi‐habitat landscapes enhance microbial diversity through cross‐habitat dispersal and adaptive trait convergence. Globally, regions with diverse habitats support a greater diversity of soil microbiomes.

The snail-killing flies of Alaska (Diptera: Sciomyzidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
Information is given on the geographic distribution, habitat preferences, larval foods, and immature stages for 57 species of 9 genera of Sciomyzidae known to occur in Alaska. An illustrated key to adults is included.
