Biomimetic Robotics and Intelligence: A Survey
SmartBot, EarlyView.Biomimetic robotics and intelligence, inspired by biological systems, integrate biology, engineering, and AI, develops robots capable of adapting to complex environments. By mimicking natural structures and cognitive processes, and employing algorithms like neural networks and genetic algorithms, these systems enhance autonomy and problem‐solving. This

Untangling the roles of parasites in food webs with generative network models [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Food webs represent the set of consumer-resource interactions among a set of species that co-occur in a habitat, but most food web studies have omitted parasites and their interactions. Recent studies have provided conflicting evidence on whether including parasites changes food web structure, with some suggesting that parasitic interactions are ...

Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Records of lethal consequences from bacterial and parasitic infections in wildlife are scarce, and the conditions under which pathogens cause mortality in infected animals remain poorly understood. We report the first documented case of a female boreal owl (Aegolius funereus) incubating eggs that died on the nest due to a co‐infection with ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Wild animals are infected with a large diversity and abundance of parasites that can affect their behavior, growth, body condition, and ultimately their survival. Although the adverse effects of parasites and the mechanisms involved in the interactions between a host and its parasites are generally well studied, much less is known about the additive or

Inca expansion and parasitism in the Lluta Valley: preliminary data
Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 2003 Assessing the impact of cultural change on parasitism has been a central goal in archaeoparasitology. The influence of civilization and the development of empires on parasitism has not been evaluated.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.The existence of bronchopulmonary nematodes in German roe deer Capreolus capreolus is well documented, with two types of lung parasites that have been described previously: Dictyocaulus capreolus and Varestrongylus capreoli. However, little is known about the impact of these parasites on their host animal or which parameters influence outbreak and ...

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Migratory behaviour in seasonal environments affects host–pathogen relationships, especially for vector‐transmitted blood parasites of the order Haemosporida. The common starling Sturnus vulgaris is a short‐distance migrant where the north‐eastern European breeding population spend the non‐breeding season in temperate mild western Europe.

Wildlife Letters, EarlyView.Eimeria saudiensis represents a genus of apicomplexan parasites capable of inducing coccidiosis in Arabian oryx. Our research concentrated on the morphological and molecular investigation of Eimeria spp. in the captive oryx herd in Oman. The therapeutic and management practices employed at the Mammals Breeding Center were reassessed to diminish ...
