A Bio‐Inspired Perspective on Materials Sustainability
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This perspective discusses natural materials as inspiration for sustainable engineering designs and the processing of materials. First, circularity, longevity, parsimony, and activity are presented as essential material paradigms. The perspective then uses many examples of natural and technical materials to introduce principles such as oligo ...

Cropping system diversity and tillage intensity affects wheat productivity in Texas
Agronomy Journal, Volume 114, Issue 6, Page 3498-3514, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in Texas depends heavily on conventional tillage (CT) and a long summer fallow period, which contributes to soil degradation. This study compared the impact of reducing tillage intensity (CT, no‐tillage, and strip‐tillage) combined with summer cropping to CT–summer fallow on wheat establishment, grain ...

Analyzing Insect-Plant Predation Data By Bayesian Nonparametrics [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 In the prospect of ecology and biology, studying insect-plant predation will considerably contribute to pest control, benefit agriculture and afforestation, and also help people to better understand insect-plant co-evolution. Therefore, we are motivated to do two work in this study.

Automating insect monitoring using unsupervised near-infrared sensors [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Insect monitoring is critical to improve our understanding and ability to preserve and restore biodiversity, sustainably produce crops, and reduce vectors of human and livestock disease. However, conventional monitoring methods of trapping and identification are time consuming and thus expensive.

Annual Review of Entomology, 2016 Insect hearing has independently evolved multiple times in the context of intraspecific communication and predator detection by transforming proprioceptive organs into ears. Research over the past decade, ranging from the biophysics of sound reception to molecular aspects of auditory transduction to the neuronal mechanisms of auditory signal processing,

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The SciAgents AI model drives hypothesis generation by harnessing multi‐agent graph reasoning, extracting insights from knowledge graphs constructed from scientific papers. Each agent plays a specific role: the Ontologist defines concepts, the Scientists draft and refine proposals, and the Critic reviews.

A flight sensory-motor to olfactory processing circuit in the moth Manduca sexta
Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2016 Neural circuits projecting information from motor pathways to sensory pathways are common across sensory domains. These circuits typically modify sensory function as a result of motor pattern activation; this is particularly so in cases where the ...
