Programmable Flocks: Hierarchical Swarm Control via Dynamic Parameter Injection
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.We present a method for the control of robot swarms which allows the shaping and the translation of patterns of simple robots (“smart particles”), using two types of devices. These two types represent a hierarchy: a larger group of simple, oblivious robots (which we call the workers) that is governed by simple local attraction forces and a smaller ...

BiomimeticsMany Coccinella septempunctata flights, with their precise positioning capabilities, have provided rich inspiration for designing insect-styled micro air vehicles. However, researchers have not widely studied their flight ability. In particular, research

EntomoBrasilis, 2019 . Flight dispersion is an adaptive trait to insects, since that make possible found new habitat with resources adequate to survive and reproduction. This behavior is reported in Scaptocoris castanea Perty (Hemiptera: Cydnidae), however few is known on ...

Asymmetric Whisker‐Inspired Sensor Pairs for Enhanced Airflow Sensing on Drones
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work incorporates asymmetric cross‐sections into a whisker‐inspired sensor pair to enhance airflow sensing. By comparing signals between two offset asymmetric whiskers, the system improves flow heading estimation and identifies the presence of fan‐generated wind during quadrotor flight.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

Bees with attitude: the effects of directed gusts on flight trajectories
Biology Open, 2018 Flight is a complicated task at the centimetre scale particularly due to unsteady air fluctuations which are ubiquitous in outdoor flight environments.

PLoS Genetics, 2013 Insect flight is regulated by various sensory inputs and neuromodulatory circuits which function in synchrony to control and fine-tune the final behavioral outcome. The cellular and molecular bases of flight neuromodulatory circuits are not well defined.

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Pterosaur dental biology remains poorly understood despite its importance for comprehending feeding strategies and flight adaptations. Here, we present the first comprehensive histological analysis of an ornithocheiriform pterosaur tooth from the Lower Cretaceous Crato Formation (Santana Group, Northeast Brazil).

Aseasonal, undirected migration in insects: 'Invisible' but common
iScienceSummary: Many insect pests are long-distance migrants, moving from lower latitudes where they overwinter to higher latitudes in spring to exploit superabundant, but seasonally ephemeral, host crops.

Cardiac morphological and morphometric analysis of Ardea alba
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Ardea alba (Linnaeus, 1758) is a widely distributed heron species whose cardiovascular morphology remains poorly described. This study aimed to characterize the cardiac morphology and morphometry of adult A. alba. Ten specimens were analyzed using radiographic, morphometric, histological, scanning electron microscopy, and three‐dimensional ...
