Breaking the Surface: Buoyant Metal–Polymer Open–Cell Hybrid Lattice Metamaterials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Open‐cell metal–polymer lattice metamaterials that defy sinking. (a) Injection process of the polyurethane (PU) foam into the titanium (Ti‐6Al‐4V) hollow‐strut lattice creating the open‐cell Ti‐6Al‐4V+PU hybrid lattice, (b) flotation test of a hybrid lattice specimen, and (c) a digital representation and experimental validation of a marine buoy ...

Old nest material functions as an informative cue in making nest-site selection decisions in the European Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)

Avian Research, 2019
Background For secondary cavity-nesting bird species that do not add lining materials to nests, the presence of old nest material or organic remains that have accumulated within nest cavities from previous breeding events may be a cue of nest-site ...

2D Abrupt Nano‐Junctions Blending sp–sp2 Bonds on Atomically Precise Heterostructures

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A lateral heterostructure between atomically precise sp–sp2$^2$ metalated graphdiyne and sp2$^2$ graphene nanoribbons is realized by on‐surface synthesis and investigated by STM and DFT. The impact of on‐surface synthesis byproducts on covalent junction formation yield is unveiled.

Toward Perception‐Native Electronic Skin: Bio‐Inspired In‐/Near‐Sensor and Neuromorphic Computing for Humanoid Robots

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Dense tactile streams from across the humanoid body converge on collide in a central wiring and data bottleneck. By relocating computation closer to and then into the skin itself, near‐ and in‐sensor architectures, together with neuromorphic computing, chart a path toward perception‐native electronic skin, in which the conversion of stimulus into ...

Multi‐scale evaluation of eastern wild turkey nest‐site selection and nest survival

Wildlife Society Bulletin
The relationship between nest‐site selection and nest success remains unclear for many avian species. Discrepancies among results may be driven by the localized conditions of study sites being evaluated at a single scale. We monitored eastern wild turkey

Present and future thermal environments available to Sharp-tailed Grouse in an intact grassland.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Better understanding animal ecology in terms of thermal habitat use has become a focus of ecological studies, in large part due to the predicted temperature increases associated with global climate change.

Nest site selection and differential defense responses based on nest substrate in Neotropical termites (Nasutitermes spp.) [PDF]

, 2014
Nest site selection in a variety of species can be impacted by the assessment of predation risk. Predation risk can be evaluated by factors such as nest height, concealment, and substrate type.

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Nest-site selection and nest predation in a tropical passerine in relation to food, friends, and foes [PDF]

Nest-site selection is an important determinant of avian reproductive success, mainly through its effect on predation risk. However, which environmental and social factors affect nest-site selection and predation risk remains less well understood ...
