Intercolony Avoidance Optimizes Foraging in Eciton burchellii Army Ants
SociobiologyForaging individuals optimize spatial movement to maximize resource use in heterogeneous environments. Colonies of Eciton burchellii, a neotropical species of army ant, forage as an army, consuming broad arrays of arthropod and social insect prey.

AgriFood: Journal of Agricultural Products for Food, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Aging represents a critical risk factor for chronic diseases, driving an urgent demand for interventions promoting healthy longevity. This study establishes standardized guidelines for high‐throughput screening (HTS) of anti‐aging natural products using Drosophila melanogaster, leveraging its intestinal homeostasis as a biomarker.

Life, 2022 An ontogenetic dietary shift is crucial for the survival and growth of piscivorous largemouth bass (LB). However, there is much to learn about the predator-prey interaction during the switching process.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Foraging Connections: Optimal Foraging in Letter Fluency
The letter fluency task is the timed listing of words that begin with a specific letter (e.g., words starting with T). Participants often list words in phonologically related clusters (e.g., tank, task, tap) and occasionally switch clusters (e.g., tap, thud). This process has been likened to patch switching in animal foraging.

Explaining the Origin of Negative Poisson's Ratio in Amorphous Networks With Machine Learning
Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.This review summarizes how machine learning (ML) breaks the “vicious cycle” in designing auxetic amorphous networks. By transitioning from traditional “black‐box” optimization to an interpretable “AI‐Physics” closed‐loop paradigm, ML is shown to not only discover highly optimized structures—such as all‐convex polygon networks—but also unveil hidden ...

ToxinsPlants store chemical defenses that act as toxins against herbivores, such as toxic isothiocyanates (ITCs) in Brassica plants, hydrolyzed from glucosinolate (GLS) precursors.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.
