Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Unveiling Global Diversity of Patescibacteriota and Functional Interactions with Host Microbes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Patescibacteriota represents a diverse group of ultra‐small epibiotic bacteria, which is largely overlooked. By integrating ribosomal protein S3‐based community profiling with MAG‐based metabolic potential analyses, this study provides new insights into their distribution, diversity, and potential interactions with other bacteria across diverse ...

Microhabitat preferences of Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Lymnaea natalensis in a natural and a man-made habitat in southeastern Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2000
Schistosoma mansoni is an important human parasitic disease which is widespread throughout Africa. As Biomphalaria pfeifferi snails act as intermediate host, knowledge of their population ecology is an essential prerequisite towards understanding disease

Environmental and Ecological Monitoring with Biodegradable Technologies

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review examines the development and application of wireless biodegradable sensors for environmental monitoring. It explores (bio)degradable materials, their degradation mechanisms in various environments, and non‐toxic fabrication techniques. Additionally, it addresses scalable production and sustainable powering solutions, emphasizing the high ...

Modular experimental shelter in semi-arid climates. Response to housing emergency situations

ESTOA: Revista de la Facultad de Arquitectura y Urbanismo de la Universidad de Cuenca
In the context of housing emergency situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the study of possible responses to crisis scenarios has been revisited. The experimental development of an emergency shelter is proposed to expand the availability of space in ...

Fossil-dominated secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation in coastal China: size-divergent pathways of aqueous Fenton reactions versus gas-phase volatile organic compound (VOC) autoxidation [PDF]

Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics
Elucidating size-dependent formation mechanisms of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) remains a critical research gap in atmospheric chemistry. Here, we analyzed water-soluble compounds in size-segregated aerosol samples (0.056–18 µm) collected at a ...

Aristotle on Essence and Habitat [PDF]

, 2015
Despite his awareness that organisms are well suited to the habitats they are typically found in, Aristotle nowhere tries to explain this. It is unlikely that he thinks this “fit” (as I call it) between organisms and their habitats is simply a lucky ...

Intertidal Warfare: Synergistic Allelopathy Mediates Spatial Competition between Two Marine Calcareous‐Shelled Sessile Organisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate
