Speculative Prototypes and Alien Ethnographies: Experimenting with Relations Beyond the Human
This article concerns the role of speculative design prototypes as a means of intervening into everyday life contexts in order to explore, and possibly enable, new kinds of relations between humans and non-human beings. By addressing a human de-centring

I.N.S.E.C.T. Wall Twin: Designing for and with Insects, Fungi, and Humans
This pictorial confronts the urgent need to shift design practices in response to the past and ongoing destruction of habitat structures and the resulting losses of biodiversity. To do this, it illustrates the first iteration of I.N.S.E.C.T.

Nature-based solutions as more-than-human art: Co-evolutionary and co-creative design approaches
Nature-based solutions (NbS) are mostly seen as engineering approaches to meeting challenges of human societies under ecological stress, while also nurturing biodiversity. We argue that given the accelerating speed of environmental change, NbS design for

Interspecies Collaboration in the Design of Visual Identity: A Case Study
Design usually relies on human ingenuity, but the past decade has seen the field's toolbox expanding to Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its adjacent methods, making room for hybrid, algorithmic creations. This article aims to substantiate the concept of interspecies collaboration - that of natural and artificial intelligence - in the active co ...

Evaluation of n-alkanes and their carbon isotope enrichments (d13C) as diet composition markers [PDF]
Plant cuticular n-alkanes have been successfully used as markers to estimate diet composition and intake of grazing herbivores. However, additional markers may be required under grazing conditions in botanically diverse vegetation.

Structure model index does not measure rods and plates in trabecular bone [PDF]
Structure model index (SMI) is widely used to measure rods and plates in trabecular bone. It exploits the change in surface curvature that occurs as a structure varies from spherical (SMI = 4), to cylindrical (SMI = 3) to planar (SMI = 0).
