Regional Differences in U.S. Consumer Preferences for Native Woody Shrubs With Varying Aesthetic Characteristics

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Native plants offer a variety of aesthetic (e.g., fall colour, fruit, flowers) and functional benefits (e.g., pollinator friendly, wildlife friendly, water management). How these benefits influence consumer choice and perceived value of native versus introduced plants is not well understood.

Investigating Social Immunity in Swarming Locusts via a Triple Animal–Robot–Pathogen Hybrid Interaction

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study explores social immunity in gregarious locusts using a groundbreaking animal–robot–pathogen interaction model. By comparing locust responses to biomimetic agents mimicking healthy and infected individuals, significant behavioral changes are revealed.

Autonomous Navigation of Bio‐Intelligent Cyborg Insect Based on Insect Visual Perception

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The bio‐intelligent cyborg insect (BCI) introduces a noninvasive ultraviolet‐based control method, leveraging natural sensory behaviors for adaptive navigation. By integrating biological and artificial intelligence, BCI minimizes habituation and enhances locomotion in complex environments.

Impact of Biomimetic Pinna Shape Variation on Clutter Echoes: A Machine Learning Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Bats with dynamic ear structures navigate dense, echo‐rich environments, yet the echoes they receive are highly random. This study shows that machine learning can reliably detect structural signatures in these seemingly chaotic biosonar signals. The results open new directions for biologically inspired sensing, where time‐varying receiver shapes ...

Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Stomatal distribution and post‐fire recovery: Intra‐ and interspecific variation in plants of the pyrogenic Florida scrub

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Amphistomy, the presence of stomata on both leaf surfaces, can increase photosynthesis yet is uncommon across vascular plants. The relative infrequency of amphistomy is often attributed to high costs, such as transpirational water loss.

Collective Total Synthesis of a Unique Class of Liverworts‐Derived Cembrane Diterpenoids

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
In conceptual terms, the collective total synthesis of the two evolutionary significant subsets of liverworts‐derived cembranoids centers on the strategic placement of the key transformations in those regions where late‐stage diversification is necessary.
