Emergent Dynamic Formation through Optical Interactions in a Robot Swarm
In swarm robotics, it is still challenging to develop a reliable and rigorous engineering methodology to solve real‐world problems. To emergent dynamic circling by robot swarm in a self‐organized manner, an optical interaction method and its model are proposed. Their effectiveness is validated through three experiments.

LC30 effects of thiamethoxam and pirimicarb, on population parameters and biological characteristics of Macrolophus pygmaeus (Hemiptera: Miridae) [PDF]
Chemical pesticides have important role in integrated pest management strategies. However, they can adversely affect on natural enemies as non-target organisms, even in sublethal concentrations.

Hyperbolic predators vs parabolic preys [PDF]
We present a nonlinear predator-prey system consisting of a nonlocal conservation law for predators coupled with a parabolic equation for preys. The drift term in the predators' equation is a nonlocal function of the prey density, so that the movement of predators can be directed towards region with high prey density.

Archetype models upscale understanding of natural pest control response to land‐use change
Abstract Control of crop pests by shifting host plant availability and natural enemy activity at landscape scales has great potential to enhance the sustainability of agriculture. However, mainstreaming natural pest control requires improved understanding of how its benefits can be realized across a variety of agroecological contexts. Empirical studies
