Polymer based morphing skin for adaptive wings
, 2015 The development of elastomeric materials for adaptive wings focuses on the elasticity at -55 °C to ensure morphing at cruise altitudes. FEM simulations and mechanical tests are carried out to optimize fatigue and aging properties of this new multi ...

Magnetic Textiles: A Review of Materials, Fabrication, Properties, and Applications
Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 11, Issue 12, 18 June 2026.Magnetic textiles (M‐textiles) are emerging as a programmable materials platform that merges magnetic matter with hierarchical textile structures. This article consolidates magnetic material classes, textile architectures, and fabrication and magnetization strategies, revealing structure–property–function relationships that govern magneto‐mechanical ...

Shifting Balancing Selection Underlies an Inversion Cline in Eurasian Blackcap
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.We investigated what factor contributes to a cline of a chromosomal inversion of the Eurasian blackcap, which differs from typical inversion clines maintained by divergent selection. Using a simulation‐based machine learning approach, we found that the inversion is under negative frequency‐dependent selection, and the optimal frequency is shifted ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Using citizen‐science records, we analysed ecogeographic patterns of colour polymorphism in two closely related centipede species across Japan. While two colour morphs in Scolopendra mutilans are broadly sympatric, they are geographically restricted in S. japonica despite overlapping climatic niches and biotic interactions.

From lagging to leading: Increased phenological asynchrony in a Batesian mimicry complex
Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Climate change can alter species interactions by shifting phenology and species distributions. Batesian mimicry is one such interaction in which mimic protection is often assumed to depend on temporal and spatial overlap with defended models, although recent studies suggest strict synchrony may not always be required.
