Advances in Invertebrate Biohybrid Robotics: Leveraging Nature for Locomotion and Sensing in Engineered Systems

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This review explores invertebrate biohybrid robots that integrate living organisms—such as insects, jellyfish, spiders, and sea slugs—into robotic systems for locomotion, sensing, and actuation. The advantages in efficiency and cost, discuss control, and power challenges are highlighted, and future considerations to guide the development of sustainable,

Harnessing Discrete Differential Geometry: A Virtual Playground for the Bilayer Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A discrete differential geometry‐based framework is developed to model the mechanics of bilayer structures with asymmetric geometry and material properties. The simulations capture dynamic bending and contact interactions in soft robotic grasping, crawling, jumping, and swimming, demonstrating the framework's versatility for programmable shape morphing

Floral scent of artificial hybrids between two Schiedea species that share a moth pollinator

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise In flowering plants, pollinators' ability to recognize chemical displays of hybrids may erode reproductive barriers. Hybrids may produce novel or altered floral scent blends that are unattractive, or scents similar to either parent that remain attractive and promote backcrossing.

Patterns of within‐ and among‐plant variation in nectar production in the beetle‐pollinated Amianthium muscaetoxicum

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Plant interactions with different pollinator species have shaped the evolution of remarkable diverse nectar production, presentation, and composition traits across the angiosperms. These traits can allow plants to manipulate and reward the behaviors of specific pollinators to enhance pollen donation and receipt with some precision. One
