History, EarlyView.Abstract Examining sport alongside race, media and imperial power opens a rich field for understanding how macro‐level ideologies are shaped and circulated through everyday cultural forms. In twentieth‐century Britain, mass media framed and distributed narratives that rendered the empire's political realities intelligible to a broad public.

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Efficient Legged Robot Locomotion Through Optimized Gait Planning for Unstructured Planetary Terrain
IEEE AccessTraditional rovers cannot maneuver easily through challenging environments, which limits their movement and exploration in planetary missions. Legged robots are potential solutions to replace them, but a detailed investigation is required to evaluate the

Automated construction of lightweight, simple, field-erected structures [PDF]
, 1980 The feasibility of automation of construction processes which could result in mobile construction robots is examined. The construction of a large photovoltaic power plant with a peak power output of 100 MW is demonstrated.

Extinction Debt Paid Off: The Demise of the European Polecat (Mustela putorius) in NE Iberia
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.We studied a vanishing polecat population for a decade, until its ultimate demise, using camera trap and roadkill data, landscape descriptors and dietary and toxicological analyses.Polecat favoured farmland and avoided forests and water bodies occupied by the invasive American mink.

Improving Rover Path Planning in Challenging Terrains: A Comparative Study of RRT-Based Algorithms
RoboticsAutonomous planetary rovers require robust path planning over rough 3D terrains, where traditional metrics such as path length, number of nodes, and planning time do not adequately capture path quality.

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.We used pattern recognition software to correct misidentifications in a 15‐year photographic database of the last, vulnerable West African giraffe population in Niger. After revealing substantial methodological errors that had inflated population estimates by nearly 19%, we corrected individual encounter histories and applied capture‐mark‐recapture ...
