Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT By combining theories of system thinking with a post‐humanist approach, we established a nexus between human and non‐human systems in the examination of systemic innovation. By doing so, we shed light on the interdependencies that exist between human and non‐human systems and contribute theoretically as well as methodologically to theories on ...

The predatory behavior of ants: an impressive panoply of morphological adaptations
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on predation in ants, showing the wide diversity of cases from solitary foraging to group hunting tactics, as well as the evolution of mandible shape frequently adapted to capture specific prey. Although most ants are generalist feeders, finding their sugary substances directly on plants or indirectly via sap‐sucking insects, some ...

Simulation of the Potential Liquification of Puger Sand Soil on a Small Scale in the Laboratory
Rekayasa SipilPuger is a nearshore area in the Jember district. On the Indonesian liquefaction zone atlas map, Puger is a high liquefaction zone. Liquefaction can occur when water-saturated soil loses its strength and behaves like a liquid due to seismic vibrations ...
