UTact: Underwater Vision‐Based Tactile Sensor with Geometry Reconstruction and Contact Force Estimation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 3, June 2026.
Embedded flexible sensing technologies advance underwater soft robotics, yet most systems still suffer from hysteresis and limited perceptiveness. Instead, vision‐based tactile sensors provide reliable and rapid feedback essential for complex underwater tasks.

Spatial Patterns of Glacier‐Wetland Hydrological Connectivity in the Rapidly Deglaciating Peruvian Andes

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract High‐altitude wetlands are critical ecosystems that store water, regulate downstream flows, and sustain biodiversity. Their persistence is tightly linked to continuous water inputs from precipitation, groundwater, snow and glacier melt, making them highly vulnerable to climate‐driven shifts in mountain hydrology. Rapid glacier retreat, altered

Competition from native hydrophytes reduces establishment and growth of invasive dense-flowered cordgrass (Spartina densiflora) [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2015
Experimental studies to determine the nature of ecological interactions between invasive and native species are necessary for conserving and restoring native species in impacted habitats.

The EFFECT OF HYDROPHYTES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SECONDARY CANAL

open access: yesJOURNAL OF WEED SCIENCE RESEARCH, 2021
The hydrophytes in canal effect directly canal performance by reducing water velocity, enhances sedimentation and reduce canal cross section area which raise water level and reduces water flow. Indirectly the hydrophytes detaches from their origin and flow with water stuck with outlet and reduces its proportionality.

Landscape heterogeneity is an important predictor of snake–human encounters in Eswatini

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our results suggest that large‐scale land use changes, such as disintegration of natural habitat into smaller patches of habitat, are associated with a significant increased likelihood of encountering a snake. This has important implications for both snakebite prevention and landscape conservation in southern Africa as habitats change and populations ...

Fruit and seed biometry and germination of Victoria amazonica (Poepp.) J.C. Sowerby (Nymphaeaceae) from the Pantanal floodplain

open access: yesActa Scientiarum: Biological Sciences, 2016
Numerous plant species are easily established in the wide flood plains of the Pantanal wetlands due to the environmental heterogeneity. The aquatic macrophytes excel in permanently flooded areas, particularly Nymphaeaceae species.

Aquatic and Littoral Successions in Various Post‐Mining Sites—Patterns and Possible Use in Ecological Restoration

open access: yesLand Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 3842-3852, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Vegetation succession in aquatic and littoral habitats has received much less attention than terrestrial habitats have. We sampled differently aged successional stages at five different types of post‐mining sites, that is, sandpits, stone quarries, clay quarries, brown coal spoil heaps and black coal subsidences, across the Czech Republic ...

Wetland islands in the desert: floristic composition and regional differentiation across arid palm groves of the Baja California Peninsula and southern California

open access: yesBotan‪ical Sciences
Background: In arid regions, palm groves function as wetland refugia, supporting hydrophytic plant communities under extreme climatic constraints. Despite their ecological significance, the regional patterns of these assemblages remain poorly understood.

ECOLOGY AND PHYTOREMEDIATION POTENTIALITY OF SOME SUBMERSED HYDROPHYTES [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Plant Production, 2015
The present study provides quantitative assessment of the hydrosoil and overlying water characteristics in addition to vegetation analysis of five aquatic habitats and their wet shorelines dominated by Ceratophyllum demersum, Myriophyllum spicatum ...

Common hydrophytes as bioindicators of iron and manganese pollutions

open access: yesEcological Indicators, 2006
Sultan Marsh is one of the largest and most important wetlands in Turkey, Middle East and Europe, embodying saline and fresh water ecosystems, which provide a shelter for 426 bird species. The area has begun to contribute much to the tourism of Kayseri state and its environs.
