Postembryonic development of the predatory strike mechanics in a praying mantis (Insecta: Mantodea)
Physiological Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 3, Page 377-396, September 2026.Praying mantis forelegs capture prey using specific kinematic and kinetic traits that change in size and morphology during postembryonic growth and sexual dimorphism influences these dynamics. Strike forces grow hyperallometrically with body weight; larger mantises show longer strike durations, slower joint angular velocities and increased tibia ...

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.Syndromic convergence (SyCo) reframes aquaculture disease as the synergistic product of climate‐driven stressors, pathobiome communities, and host immune compromise, not single pathogens. A five‐criterion scoring matrix, composite early warning index, and three‐layer intervention framework together operationalize this shift toward predictive ...

Soft Robotic Snake with Tunable Undulatory Gait for Efficient Underwater Locomotion
Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 4, August 2026.This study designs an underwater soft snake robot using 3D‐printed soft actuators, controlled by specific signals to generate sinusoidal undulation. Results show a positive correlation between speed and swing amplitude, with optimal performance at 2/3π phase offset, PLA tail, 1.2 voltage growth rate, and 6s undulation period achieving a maximum speed ...
