CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1332-1362, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Why Autonomous Vehicles Are Not Ready Yet: A Multi‐Disciplinary Review of Problems, Attempted Solutions, and Future Directions

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 2254-2341, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Personal autonomous vehicles can sense their surrounding environment, plan their route, and drive with little or no involvement of human drivers. Despite the latest technological advancements and the hopeful announcements made by leading entrepreneurs, to date no personal vehicle is approved for road circulation in a “fully” or “semi ...

Soil erosion responses to climate change in a tropical monsoon‐dominated river basin ‐ A geospatial perspective

River, Volume 5, Issue 2, Page 222-249, May 2026.
Abstract Soil erosion is a major global environmental and socio‐economic challenge, with impacts particularly severe in tropical, monsoon‐dominated mountainous regions, where heavy rainfall, steep terrain, and unsustainable land‐use practices accelerate land degradation.

Behavioral Selection of Coprophagy in an Arid‐Adapted Herbivore: Does a Compatibility–Risk Gradient Shape Selective Coprophagy?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Estimated amount of each scat type consumed by Texas tortoises (Gopherus berlandieri) during 48‐h feeding trials expressed as area under the cumulative‐consumption curve (AUC; ±95% CI). Coprophagy is prevalent in Texas tortoises, and tortoises selectively choose feces along a compatibility‐risk gradient, which is evolutionarily meaningful.

Complementary Evidence From Historical and Contemporary Gene Dispersal Reveals Contrasting Population Dynamics in a Tropical Tree Species

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Gene flow shapes the demographic stability and evolutionary potential of tropical forest trees, yet its dynamics may differ depending on the temporal scale at which it is assessed. We combined spatial genetic structure (SGS), parentage analyses, and reproductive success metrics to investigate historical and contemporary gene dispersal in four ...

The Influence of Soil Compaction on Runoff Formation. A Case Study Focusing on Skid Trails at Forested Andosol Sites

Geosciences, 2019
This study discusses the influence of soil compaction on runoff generation with a special focus on forested Andosol sites. Because of their typical soil physical characteristics (low bulk density, high pore volumes) and the existent land use, these areas

Effects of Skidder Passes and Slope on Soil Disturbance in Two Soil Water Contents

Croatian Journal of Forest Engineering, 2014
Skidding operations induce changes in soil physical properties, which have the potential to impact soil sustainability and forest productivity. Our objective was to investigate the effects of traffic frequency, trail slope, and soil moisture content on ...
