Prey and prejudice: predation by the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster has species‐specific effects on the ecology and genetics of bumblebees

Oikos, Volume 2025, Issue 8, August 2025.
Predation is a major ecological force, but its effect on bees has rarely been studied. Here, we investigated whether the presence of the European bee‐eater Merops apiaster, a migratory bird species and major bee predator, decreases the abundance and body size of three common bumblebee species (Bombus lapidarius, B. terrestris and B.

Key Mechanisms to Mechanically Improve Polyacrylamide‐Based Hydrogels

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 15, Page 3214-3228, 1 August 2025.
ABSTRACT Hydrogels usually have weak mechanical properties (e.g., very low elastic modulus and strength of the polyacrylamide hydrogel). To improve the mechanical properties for broader applications, double‐network hydrogels have been developed, such as the polyacrylamide‐alginate hydrogels with the additional alginate network cross‐linked by metal ...

What you eat is what we need: using ants to detect spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) DNA

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 8, Page 4571-4578, August 2025.
The workflow of the ‘antDNA’ method. Ants actively forage on honeydew produced by sap‐sucking insects such as the spotted lanternfly (SLF) and can retain it in their crops, serving as effective ‘honeydew samplers’. Combined with a simple endpoint polymerase chain reaction (PCR)‐based molecular assay, the ant‐derived DNA (antDNA) method provides an ...

A V‐Shaped In‐Pipe Robot to Travel Through Complex Winding Pathways in Three Dimensions

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1808-1825, August 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a V‐shaped gas pipeline inspection robot which achieves high roll rotation performance, out‐of‐plane double elbow travel performance, and inverted siphon adaptability at high speed without requiring complicated manual operation. The principle for traveling through the out‐of‐plane double elbow was theoretically demonstrated
