Mechanical diffraction reveals the role of passive dynamics in a slithering snake
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Snakes inhabit environments composed of heterogeneous materials, controlling their body–terrain interactions to generate propulsion. Such complexity makes it challenging to understand the interplay of body mechanics and neural control during

2010 IEEE Computer Society Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2010 We introduce a morphological approach to curve evolution. The differential operators used in the standard PDE snake models can be approached using morphological operations on a binary level set. By combining the morphological operators associated to the PDE components we achieve a new snakes evolution algorithm.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A novel metadata schema is introduced to address the sparsity of microstructure‐sensitive mechanical data. The design follows the material modeling workflow, as each run results in the definition of unique data objects. The schema includes categorical elements to ensure findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (FAIR). This approach

Snake Genome Sequencing: Results and Future Prospects
Toxins, 2016 Snake genome sequencing is in its infancy—very much behind the progress made in sequencing the genomes of humans, model organisms and pathogens relevant to biomedical research, and agricultural species.

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2019 Foraging modes (ambush vs. active foraging) are often correlated with a suite of morphological, physiological, behavioural and ecological traits known as the "adaptive syndrome" or "syndrome hypothesis." In snakes, an ecological correlate often reported ...

Ecological Applications, Volume 32, Issue 8, December 2022., 2022 Abstract The brown treesnake (BTS) (Boiga irregularis) invasion on Guåhan (in English, Guam) led to the extirpation of nearly all native forest birds. In recent years, methods have been developed to reduce BTS abundance on a landscape scale. To help assess the prospects for the successful reintroduction of native birds to Guåhan following BTS ...

Micro‐ and Nano‐Bots for Infection Control
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review presents a strategic vision for integrating micro‐ and nanobots in the pipeline for infection diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. To develop these robots as a practical solution for infection management, their design principles are clarified based on their propulsion mechanisms and then categorized infection management domains based on ...
