HeaTrace: A Parametric Design‐to‐Fabrication Workflow for Thermally Programmable Soft Robots

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A programmable thermal actuation workflow enables soft robots to be designed and fabricated with embedded heaters that drive multiple responses. By combining performance‐driven heater design with multimaterial fabrication, the system supports thermally triggered shape change, stiffness tuning, and thermochromic visual response, as demonstrated through ...

Floral traits and hermaphrodite abundance shape female advantage in a gynodioecious plant

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Gynodioecy is maintained through female advantage in seed fitness that depends on the sex ratio of a population. We hypothesized that females of Silene acaulis would exhibit floral traits associated with elevated outcross pollination and that sex ratio would impact pollen limitation and inbreeding depression such that female advantage ...

From Ecological States to Trajectories: Revealing Ecological Dynamics Through Environmental Nucleic Acids

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Environmental nucleic acids (eNA) observations integrate temporal and ecological information across multiple dimensions of an ecological state. Repeated and complementary observations extend biomonitoring from state assessment toward reconstruction of ecological trajectories, including their direction, rate, pathways, progression, recovery, and ...
