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,

Revisiting Bacan Island in the footsteps of Alfred Russel Wallace: unveiling the diversity of land snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda) [PDF]

ZooKeys
There are a total of 47 species from ten families of Gastropoda recorded on Bacan Island from 1861 to 1963 by 15 studies. In 2022, the island was revisited to investigate its current land snail diversity.

Late Pleistocene to Holocene sedimentation in the Great Blue Hole (Lighthouse Reef, Belize): Results from a 30 m long core

The Depositional Record, EarlyView.
A 30 m long sedimentary succession at the bottom of the Belize Blue Hole represents terrestrial cenote (12.5–7.2 ka BP), restricted marine swamp (7.2–5.7 ka BP) and fully marine lagoonal phases (5.7–0 ka BP) on Lighthouse Reef carbonate platform. Post‐glacial and Holocene sea‐level rise largely controlled the sedimentological, faunal and floral changes

Possible control of introduced giant African land snails (Achatina spp.) by the reintroduced endemic skink Leiolopisma telfairii, Ile aux Aigrettes, Mauritius [PDF]

Management of Biological Invasions, 2011
The giant African land snail (Achatina fulica) is one of the world’s worst invasive species, out‐competing endemic snails, consuming native vegetation and potentially altering nutrient cycles.

Diversity and biogeography of land snails (Mollusca, Gastropoda) in the limestone hills of Perak, Peninsular Malaysia

ZooKeys, 2017
Limestone hills are now gaining global conservation attention as hotspots for short-range endemic species. Levels of land snail endemism can be high at limestone hills, especially at hill clusters that are geographically isolated.

Unraveling Mathematical Problem‐Solving: Conceptualization and Performance in Preservice Teachers

Future in Educational Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explored the relationship between preservice teachers' (PSTs') conceptualization of mathematical problem‐solving and their performance. Fifty‐six PSTs engaged in a two‐part questionnaire that included prompts related to their views and understanding of problem‐solving as well as an authentic mathematical task.

Long‐term monitoring of island night lizards on San Nicolas Island

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We describe the results of long‐term population monitoring of the island night lizard Xantusia riversiana on San Nicolas Island, California, following the species' removal from the U.S. Endangered Species list in 2014. The species' distribution remains largely the same since studies in the 1990s, though small increases in distribution were noted at the

Terrestrial Gastropods: Survey and Relationships between Land Snail Assemblage and Soil Properties

, 2018
Terrestrial gastropods (snail and slug) species were studied concerning their occurrence survey and population density in 25 localities representing five districts of Kafr EL-Sheikh Governorate, during September 2015 to August 2016. An attempts to obtain
