Convergent evolution of coloration in experimental introductions of the guppy (Poecilia reticulata). [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Despite the multitude of examples of evolution in action, relatively fewer studies have taken a replicated approach to understand the repeatability of evolution.

Historical ecology of anadromous houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus / C. lavaretus) in the Rhine-Meuse delta

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Conservation
Houting (Coregonus oxyrinchus / C. lavaretus) is a facultative anadromous fish species that gradually declined and finally extirpated from the Rhine-Meuse delta during the first half of the 20th century, together with several other migratory fish species.

Rate of lineage origin explains the diversity anomaly in the World’s mangrove vegetation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The contribution of nonecological factors to global patterns in diversity is evident when species richness differs between regions with similar habitats and geographic area. Mangrove environments in the Eastern Hemisphere harbor six times as many species

Anti‐Slip Material‐Based Strategies and Approaches

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights the principle mechanisms of slipping at the microscale, linking contact mechanics with a friction behavior model for surface interfaces. Main strategies to develop anti‐slip properties to the surfaces are discussed alongside standardized testing approaches.

Applying trait-based models to achieve functional targets for theory-driven ecological restoration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Manipulating community assemblages to achieve functional targets is a key component of restoring degraded ecosystems. The response-and-effect trait framework provides a conceptual foundation for translating restoration goals into functional trait targets,

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...

Bringing History into Evolutionary Economic Geography for a Better Understanding of Evolution [PDF]

open access: yes
The paper tries to construct the historical methodology for evolutionary economic geography. I elevate history to the methodological foundation of evolutionary economic geography, on which concrete research methods should be based.
