Crocker Range National Park, Sabah, as a refuge for Borneo’s montane herpetofauna [PDF]
, 2006 Crocker Range National Park in Sabah (East Malaysia), northern Borneo, is an exceptional area for herpetological diversity. Inventories of the Park are incomplete, but show high diversity, as well as regional endemicity shared with the adjacent and more ...

A Review on Sensor Technologies, Control Approaches, and Emerging Challenges in Soft Robotics
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review provides an introspective of sensors and controllers in soft robotics. Initially describing the current sensing methods, then moving on to the control methods utilized, and finally ending with challenges and future directions in soft robotics focusing on the material innovations, sensor fusion, and embedded intelligence for sensors and ...

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...

The mitochondrial genome of the Hydrophis curtus (Squamata: Elapidae)
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2020 In this study, we provide the report of a mitochondrial genome of Shaw’s sea snake (Hydrophis curtus). The total length of the mitogenome is 17839 bp, which was composed of 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs), 2 rRNA genes (12 s and 16 s rRNA), 22 tRNA genes.

Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2011 Erabutoxins a and b are neurotoxins isolated from venom of a sea snake Laticauda semifasciata (erabu-umihebi). Amino acid sequences of the toxins indicated that the toxins are members of a superfamily consisting of short and long neurotoxins and cytotoxins found in sea snakes and terrestrial snakes. The short neurotoxins to which erabutoxins belong act

A view from above : changing seas, seabirds and food sources [PDF]
, 2009 In this review we summarize what is known about mechanisms by which climate change may be affecting the populations of seabirds around the UK. Breeding success and adult survival are the key factors affecting changes in seabird populations, and food ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Ng et al. show that the BCR::ABL1 kinase that drives the lymphoid leukemia Ph+B‐ALL modulates enhancer function by coopting signaling‐inducible transcription factors such as MYC, STAT5, and ETV5. BCR::ABL1 thereby promotes the transcriptional program driving and defining this leukemia and renders Ph+B‐ALL cells hypersensitive to enhancer‐inhibiting ...

Rediscovery of the yellow-bellied sea snake (Hydrophis platurus) in South Korea (Squamata: Elapidae)
Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity, 2020 We report the rediscovery of the yellow-bellied sea snake (Hydrophis platurus) in South Korea based on four specimens collected in Seogwipo-si, Jeju-do, between June 2017 and November 2018.

Hierarchical Artificial Muscle with Nonlinear Elasticity for Antagonistic and Cyclic Robotics
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We construct hierarchical muscles by plying nylon fibers around a heating wire. The hierarchical muscle shows a J‐shaped passive curve, which shows benefit in antagonistic muscle pair and work accumulation mechanism. We also develop a computational, first‐principle model to understand the physics of both active actuation stroke and passive J‐curve ...
