Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Frontiers in Remote SensingThrough sharing characteristics of chorus activity, especially in regions that are particularly data deficient, we can aim at a broader, global understanding of fish chorusing and consequently important spatiotemporal changes in habitat use by schooling ...

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Spectral Wave-Driven Bedload Transport Across a Coral Reef Flat/Lagoon Complex
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Coral reefs are an important source of sediment for reef-lined coasts and help to maintain beaches by providing protection though dissipation of wave energy. Understanding the mechanisms that deliver sediment to the coast from coral reefs and quantifying

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coral reefs are typified by their benthic components, and reef diversity and productivity are traditionally ascribed to the symbiotic association between corals and zooxanthellae, and other macroalgal forms.

Grenada Carriacou Petite Martinique [PDF]
, 2016 The Eastern Caribbean Seascape is an arc of islands linked through diverse coral reef ecosystems, oceanic currents, migratory pathways and a rich cultural heritage. The Eastern Caribbean Coral Reef Report Cards are a series of individual reports for the6

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate

Drivers of the Abundance of Tridacna spp. Giant Clams in the Red Sea
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Giant clams (Subfamily Tridacninae), are important members of Indo-Pacific coral reefs, playing multiple roles in the framework of these communities. Although they are prominent species in Red Sea reefs, data on their distribution and densities in the ...

Transitions in coral reef accretion rates linked to intrinsic ecological shifts on turbid-zone nearshore reefs [PDF]
, 2016 Nearshore coral communities within turbid settings are typically perceived to have limited reef-building capacity. However, several recent studies have reported reef growth over millennial time scales within such environments and have hypothesized that ...

Early synapsids neurosensory diversity revealed by CT and synchrotron scanning
The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.Abstract Non‐mammaliaform synapsids (NMS) represent the closest relatives of today's mammals among the early amniotes. Exploring their brain and nervous system is key to understanding how mammals evolved. Here, using CT and Synchrotron scanning, we document for the first time three extreme cases of neurosensory and behavioral adaptations that probe ...
