Insect‐Inspired Resilient Machines

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study presents a decentralized resilient control for legged robots, enabling self‐organized locomotion and rapid adaptation to extreme leg loss within seconds. It encodes the self‐embodied resilience strategies observed in stick insects and relies on neural dynamics with synaptic plasticity, minimal sensory feedback, and dynamic robot–environment ...

Fear of predation drives stable and differentiated social relationships in guppies

Scientific Reports, 2017
Social relationships can have important consequences for fitness in animals. Whilst numerous studies have shown that individuals often join larger groups in response to perceived predation risk (i.e.

The Insistence of Blackness and the Persistence of Antiblackness in Ireland

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper positions Ireland as a critical site for examining the insistence of blackness and an antiblackness created and sustained through Irish ethnonationalist imaginaries and exclusionary processes. Drawing on connected sociologies and Irish Black Studies, this enquiry argues that antiblackness in Ireland operates as a generational force,

Impacts of Selective Predation on Infection Prevalence and Host Susceptibility

Ecology and Evolution
Predation can alter diverse ecological processes, including host–parasite interactions. Selective predation, whereby predators preferentially feed on certain prey types, can affect prey density and selective pressures.

‘The System Can't Cope’: The Service System Response to Alcohol and Other Drug‐Facilitated Sexual Violence

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alcohol and other drug‐facilitated sexual violence can have significant impacts on victim‐survivors, yet little is known about what support service providers offer them. To understand the experiences and perceptions of service providers, interviews with counsellors, health workers, forensic toxicologists and harm reduction workers were ...

Investigating diel patterns of predation events in wild turkeys using tri‐axial accelerometer data

Wildlife Society Bulletin
Numerous studies have evaluated the species responsible for predation events on birds and their nests, but little research has assessed the location and timing of mortality events.

Healthcare Resource Utilization and Cost After Temperature‐Controlled Radiofrequency Treatment of Nasal Airway Obstruction: A Real‐World Longitudinal Claims Analysis

International Forum of Allergy &Rhinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Nasal airway obstruction (NAO) is prevalent with substantial health and quality of life burdens. Nasal valve collapse (NVC) is one structural cause of NAO. Temperature‐controlled radiofrequency (TCRF) nasal valve remodeling offers an alternative to invasive surgery.

Assessing the viability of genebanked seeds from rare, wild plants native to the United States using the D.E.A.D. paradigm

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Genebanks must maintain viable seeds for decades. Seeds that germinate are clearly alive, but some seeds, often from wild populations, do not germinate because they are dormant, empty, aged, or damaged (D.E.A.D.). This work evaluates the effects of D.E.A.D.

Space–time clusters for early detection of grizzly bear predation

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Accurate detection and classification of predation events is important to determine predation and consumption rates by predators. However, obtaining this information for large predators is constrained by the speed at which carcasses disappear and the ...
