Haptic Perception via the Dynamics of a Flexible Body Inspired by an Ostrich's Neck

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by avian anatomy, this study uses a flexible robotic neck to investigate haptic perception driven by musculoskeletal dynamics. By applying physical reservoir computing, the robot encodes external force interactions into its body dynamics, allowing effective object classification.

Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Temperature and the evolution of flower color: A review

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Flower colors brighten our natural world. How and why have they evolved? How might ongoing global warming alter their evolutionary trajectories? In this review, I examine the influence of ambient temperature on the evolution of flower color.

Reconstructing the evolutionary history of herbaceous crops through trait‐based ecology

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Reconstructing the evolution of crop plants is fundamental to understanding their origins, ecological adaptations, and impacts on ecosystem processes. However, our understanding of crop evolution stems largely from archaeology and genetics, with less focus on a trait‐based ecological approach.

Causes of delayed angiosperm diversification: The photosynthetic revolution, increased opportunity costs of anti‐herbivore defenses, selection for qualitative toxins, and acceleration of plant–herbivore coevolution

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Why did it take so long for angiosperms to diversify after they arose? Here I consider the indirect but potentially crucial impact of the “photosynthetic revolution” on plant–herbivore coevolution. Increased vein density in fossil leaves implies a doubling in photosynthesis 125–100 million years ago.
