Robotics for Crop Pollination: Recent Advances and Future Direction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT There is great interest in alternative pollination strategies for crop production in the face of climate change and perennial threats to the traditional pollination mechanisms. This review explores the potential of robotic pollination as a promising solution to these challenges affecting crop fertilization, agricultural sustainability, and ...

Multi‐Scale 3D Printing of Magnetic Polymer Nanocomposites with Controlled Particle Dispersion and Hyperthermic Response

Small, EarlyView.
Dispersion of magnetic nanoflowers in trimethylolpropane ethoxylate triacrylate to generate photocurable nanocomposites is described. Particle dispersion provides processability and target AC‐field stimulated temperature increases. Complex (DLP) printed structures with submicron features are demonstrated, and the potential for stimulated release of ...

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.

Mean temperature determines whether winter variability accelerates or buffers energy loss

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Winter survival in dormant animals depends on conserving finite energy reserves, yet winter temperatures fluctuate around shifting means. In ectotherms, metabolic rate increases exponentially with temperature, so thermal variability is expected to accelerate energy loss,

Local adaptation to host plants in herbivorous insects: A meta‐analysis

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Local adaptation, wherein populations are well‐adapted to local biotic and abiotic conditions, is a common outcome of natural selection and a driver of diversification.

Beta diversity of Arctiinae moths (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) along a recovering tropical forest gradient

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using novel approaches of Hill‐number based and coverage‐standardized dissimilarity metrics and community‐weighted traits, we show that tiger moth communities exhibit various traits prone to land‐use intensity and undergo a complex and non‐linear response to tropical rainforest recovery, corroborating recent findings on biotic differentiation (Keck et ...
