'Selfish herds' of guppies follow complex movement rules, but not when information is limited [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Under the threat of predation, animals can decrease their level of risk by moving towards other individuals to form compact groups. A significant body of theoretical work has proposed multiple movement rules, varying in complexity, which might underlie ...

Multimaterial 3D Printing in Activating Bath Enables In Situ Polymerization of Thermosets with Intricate Geometries and Diverse Elastic Behaviors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A new embedded 3D printing (EMB3D) strategy enables in situ polymerization of DCPD/COD‐based inks within a fugitive reactive matrix where the activator in the matrix cures the printed filament. Cured ink properties are tunable through DCPD‐COD comonomer ratios, yielding materials from stiff thermosets to soft elastomers.

The symbiotic magnetic-sensing hypothesis: do Magnetotactic Bacteria underlie the magnetic sensing capability of animals?

open access: yesMovement Ecology, 2017
The ability to sense Earth’s magnetic field has evolved in various taxa. However, despite great efforts to find the ‘magnetic-sensor’ in vertebrates, the results of these scientific efforts remain inconclusive.

Addressing Challenges in the Application of Animal Movement Ecology to Aquatic Conservation and Management

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
The dynamic nature of most environments forces many animals to move to meet their fundamental needs. This is especially true in aquatic environments where shifts in spatial ecology (which are a result of movements) are among the first adaptive responses ...
