Path following control of snake robots in unstructured environments

open access: yes, 2011
As a step towards enabling snake robots to move in unstructured environments, this paper considers control strategies where environment adaptation is combined with directional control of snake robot locomotion.

Biocrust restoration in novel climates: assisted migration, habitat amelioration, and varied community composition as climate‐smart techniques

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Successful restoration of terrestrial drylands depends on stable, fertile soils that retain water. These functions are provided by biological soil crusts (biocrust), suggesting their reestablishment is a critical step in dryland restoration.

Serpentine locomotion of a snake-like robot controlled by cyclic inhibitory CPG model

open access: yes, 2005
Based on the structure of both biological snakes and snake-like robots and their rhythm locomotion, the theory of the cyclic inhibitory CPG is adopted as a control method to construct a neuron network model of the snake-like robot.

Through the Sands of Time: Evolutionary History and Systematics of the Awl‐Headed Snakes (Colubridae: Lytorhynchus) in the Saharo‐Sindian Region

open access: yesZoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The psammophilous colubrid genus Lytorhynchus is widely distributed in the deserts of the Saharo‐Sindian region and adjacent areas. The taxonomy of the genus and the number of recognised species have remained unstable since the last taxonomic revision in 1970, with differing views on the taxonomic status of L. gaddi and L. kennedyi.

Lymphocystis Disease in Endemic Aotearoa New Zealand Bully (Gobiomorphus cotidianus)

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 12, December 2026.
ABSTRACT We detected lymphocystis disease virus (LCDV) for the first time in an Aotearoa New Zealand freshwater environment, from an individual common bully, toitoi, Gobiomorphus cotidianus (Eleotridae). Dinah's bully, Gobiomorphus dinae, and Kaharore bully, Gobiomorphus mataraerore, also exhibited gross nodular lesions on the fins but were not sampled.

Design of Propulsive Virtual Holonomic Constraints for Planar Snake Robots

open access: yes, 2017
Virtual holonomic constraints (VHCs) framework is a recent control paradigm for systematic design of motion controllers for wheel-less biologically inspired snake robots. Despite recent developments for VHC-based control systems for ground and underwater

Erythrocyte ‘Feierzeit’ reaction: Novel filamentous and vesicular response to n‐butyl acetate

open access: yesJournal of Microscopy, Volume 304, Issue 3, Page 196-208, December 2026.
Abstract Human erythrocytes (red blood cells; RBCs) undergo spontaneous disassembly after several hours of exposure to n‐butyl acetate (nBA). Images of the morphological changes were captured in time‐lapse sequences using differential interference contrast (DIC) light microscopy.
