An empirical study of the evolutionary significance of cannibalism in tree-hole mosquitoes (Diptera : Culicidae) from ecological and biological perspectives [PDF]
, 1995 To be adaptive, optimality theory suggests that behavioural traits should maximise the fitness of the carrier by spread of genotypes through a population.

Scalable Design and Optimization of Reconfigurable Sb2S3 Metasurfaces
Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.Scalable optimization methodologies are developed for reconfigurable Sb2S3 Huygens metasurfaces by combining localized phase‐match and overlap‐integral cost functions that account for inter‐element coupling. The framework enables computationally efficient design of large‐area, dual‐state flat optical devices with arbitrary wavefront transformations ...

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

Grounding Large Language Models for Robot Task Planning Using Closed‐Loop State Feedback
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.BrainBody‐Large Language Model (LLM) introduces a hierarchical, feedback‐driven planning framework where two LLMs coordinate high‐level reasoning and low‐level control for robotic tasks. By grounding decisions in real‐time state feedback, it reduces hallucinations and improves task reliability.
