Biomimetic robots driven by smart materials: Motion forms, stimulation methods and applications

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Biomimetic robots enhance adaptability by mimicking biological systems, but rigid materials limit performance. Smart materials with stimuli responsiveness and shape adaptability enable more flexible actuation and improved environmental interaction.

Setting the pace: new insights into central pattern generator interactions in box jellyfish swimming [PDF]

, 2011
Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) produce rhythmic behaviour across all animal phyla. Cnidarians, which have a radially symmetric nervous system and pacemaker centres in multiples of four, provide an interesting comparison to bilaterian animals for ...

Discovery and Fine‐Scale Mapping of Hadal Xenophyophore Habitat in the Nova Canton Trough, Central Pacific Ocean

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Discovery and fine‐scale mapping of a hadal xenophyophore field: submersible video transects and photogrammetry enable semi‐automated delineation of xenophyophores, revealing their abundance, spatial organisation, structural complexity and contribution to habitat heterogeneity at ~8000 m depth.

Concurrent tunable structural color, luminescence, and afterglow in single ZnS: X@SiO2 spheres via SiO2‐nanoarmor and calcination decoupling collaborative strategy

Smart Molecules, EarlyView.
For the first time, tunable structural color, luminescence, and afterglow are integrated into single ZnS:X@SiO2 spheres via a SiO2‐nanoarmor and calcination decoupling strategy, achieving 250–410 nm monodisperse wurtzite spheres with 91% phase conversion, 12.8% PLQY, and 12.27 s afterglow. Abstract The integration of structural color, photoluminescence,

Trace Element Contamination in Top Predatory Elasmobranchs From the Southern Black Sea: Implications for Ecosystem Health and Risk Assessment

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution resulting from the rapid increase in human population, urbanization, intensive use of chemicals in agriculture, and industrial development has reached a level that threatens natural life today. Trace elements are one of the most important factors causing significant levels of pollution in the environment and are added ...

Banking Biodiversity: Ex Vivo Solutions for a Planet in Crisis

Zoo Biology, EarlyView.
Genetic diversity is being lost faster than it can be cataloged. Biobanking preserves cells, gametes, and DNA as recoverable material for future conservation use, and delivers most when collections are established proactively rather than deployed once populations are already critically depleted.

Direct, but not indirect, predation‐risk cues deter larval settlement in a scyphozoan jellyfish

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Predators can shape population dynamics before consumption occurs, with prey using chemical information to guide larval settlement. We show that jellyfish larvae (Aurelia coerulea) respond selectively to predation‐risk cues, reducing settlement in response to predator presence and active predation cues, but not to residual cues from previously preyed ...

Whole‐Genome Sequencing and Resequencing of Hucho bleekeri Provides Insights into Genetic Mechanisms of Environmental Adaptation

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A high‐quality chromosome‐level reference genome was constructed for Hucho bleekeri. Population structure and environmental adaptation of Hucho species were revealed by whole‐genome resequencing. ABSTRACT Salmonidae represents an important family in the study of genome evolution following genome duplication.
