The Colour Changes In Lizards, Particularly In Phrynosoma [PDF]
, 1938 The activities of the melanophore system of Phrynosoma in comparison with that of Chamaeleo may be stated categorically in the following way. I. The blanching of Phrynosoma blainvillii is due (1) to the action of its concentrating nerve-fibres on ...

Frequency-dependent and correlational selection pressures have conflicting consequences for assortative mating in a color-polymorphic lizard, Uta stansburiana [PDF]
, 2014 Acknowledgments We would like to thank the numerous undergraduate researchers involved with this project for their invaluable assistance in lizard rearing and data collection. We also thank D. Haisten, A. Runemark, Y. Takahashi, and M.

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.This study employs digital advanced manufacturing to develop lightweight, compact porous distributors as alternatives to conventional bipolar plates in PEM fuel cells. A graphene‐coated nickel foam achieves a power density of 1.52 W cm−2, while titanium‐based designs deliver lightweight solutions: an LPBF‐fabricated Gyroid lattice reaches 1.36 W cm−2 ...

Planning and Control Framework for a Quadruped Robot With Changeable Configuration
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Multiconfiguration quadruped robots enhance adaptability by switching between mammal‐like and reptile‐like morphologies. This study presents a nonlinear constraint‐based motion planner integrated with a hierarchical whole‐body controller, enabling robust configuration switching and locomotion on complex terrains. Experiments on slopes, irregular bricks,

Anatomy, morphology and evolution of the patella in squamate lizards and tuatara (Sphenodon punctatus) [PDF]
, 2016 The patella (kneecap) is the largest and best-known of the sesamoid bones, postulated to confer biomechanical advantages including increasing joint leverage and reinforcing the tendon against compression.

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.Female desert locusts dig underground to lay their eggs. They displace soil, rather than removing it, to create a tunnel. We analyze burrowing dynamics and 3D kinematics and design a locust‐inspired hybrid soft–stiff robot that reproduces this mechanism. The results show the natural strategy minimizes energy, whereas alternative patterns raise costs up
