Collaborative platooning and routing for mixed fleets of electric automated vehicles and conventional trucks

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

A formulation and a metaheuristic approach for the clustered vehicle routing problem with d‐relaxed priority rule

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper investigates an extension of the vehicle routing problem in which, in addition to minimizing the distance traveled, the sequencing of customer visits is subject to precedence constraints that impose visiting priorities among customers.

Osteology and arthrology of the ankle and tarsometatarsus of anoles (Iguania: Anolidae): not convergent with geckos but divergent from the ancestral iguanian condition

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.
Geckos and anoline iguanid lizards are well‐known for their possession of adhesive toepads, which are generally regarded as being convergent structures. We show that the anatomical configuration of the foot in these two lineages differs markedly and that these differences likely relate to the contrasing ways they deploy their adhesive systems and ...

Things at Work: How Things Contribute to Performing Work

Journal of Management Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract A crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance.

Divergent defense strategies and niche partitioning in Cretaceous micro‐beetles

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
We report a new clambid beetle from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber, Scutacalyptus kolibaci gen. et sp. nov., characterized by a flattened body and explanate margins. Alongside spiny and conglobating clambid forms, this diversity reflects niche partitioning and varied antipredator strategies in the Cretaceous forest floor.

Testing the size‐grain hypothesis in a generalist predator: The case of an ant species in the Brazilian savannah

Journal of Zoology, EarlyView.
In our recent study, we examined whether ants in the Brazilian Cerrado follow the “grain‐size hypothesis,” which proposes that larger ants should have proportionally longer legs to move efficiently across different environments. We used Ectatomma permagnum, a common predatory ant in the Cerrado, measuring hundreds of individuals collected from various ...

Investigation of the global transportation of Culicoides biting midges, vectors of livestock and equid arboviruses, from flower‐packing plants in Kenya

Medical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Arboviral diseases spread by Culicoides biting midges have been introduced into Europe by unknown means. A possible route is the carriage of midges with cut flowers shipped to flower markets. We sampled Culicoides in and around a cut flower farm in Kenya; midges were caught in the vicinity and a greenhouse, but not where flowers are processed.
