Retention of the Full Visual Opsin Repertoire in Some Australian Cryptozoic Lizards

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study investigates the link between visual evolution and fossorial habits in the endemic Australian skink genus Lerista. We provide evidence for positive site‐specific selection in all 4 cone opsins, as well as relaxed selection specific to LWS. We also provide evidence of selection linked to limb reduction, an indicator of fossorial adaptation ...

My (post‐)post‐socialism: A personal photo essay

open access: yesAnthropology and Humanism, Volume 51, Issue 1, June 2026.
Abstract The paper is a multi‐modal, autoethnographic exploration of the visual remnants of lived post‐communism in a typical block of flats neighborhood of a Romanian city. By using film and digital photography, alongside narrative reflection, the author summons memories and blends observed and lived reality with creative non‐fiction to build an ...

Civilly Disobeying What? On Directness and Relevance in Civil Disobedience

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 500-516, June 2026.
Abstract Recent acts of civil disobedience in protest against politicians' inaction about climate change have often targeted works of art to provoke public opinion on the issue. Such initiatives have attracted criticism from those who object to this form of political dissent.

Design of a snake-like robot controller with cyclic inhibitory CPG model

open access: yes, 2005
Snake-like robots that behaves biological snakes' characteristics have possibility to make them supremely adapted for environment. In this paper, we firstly design a snake-like robot controller with cyclic inhibitory CPG model, and then analyze the ...

Adaptive creeping locomotion of a CPG-controlled snake-like robot to environment change

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, we present a biomimetic approach which is based on Central Pattern Generator (CPG) to solve the difficulty in control of a snake-like robot with a large number of degrees of freedom.
