Staged ecologies: Aesthetics, nature and infrastructure in the late‐modern metropolis
Short Abstract This paper examines the relationship between urban nature and landscape design within a £1.5 billion regeneration project that is currently unfolding in Thamesmead, a town in south‐east London. It develops the notion of ‘staged ecologies’ to examine how urban nature is being spatially and aesthetically arranged across the town's ...

Aerial Track‐Guided Autonomous Soft Ring Robot
Controlling motion paths in soft active material‐based robots is challenging due to their inherently high degrees of freedom. Inspired by aerial trams, a new class of autonomous, track‐guided soft robots composed of twisted liquid crystal elastomer rings are reported.

We developed and tested SSR and EPIC markers for the green toad (Bufotes viridis), demonstrating their effectiveness using genotyping by high‐throughput amplicon sequencing (GBAS) across urban and rural populations. EPIC markers exhibited fewer null alleles and provided more ecologically coherent clustering results, while SSRs reflected drift‐induced ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Godfrey Bingley was a British industrialist who took up geology, photography and travel in the 1880s. His photographs are housed at the University of Leeds, where he worked with its Chair of Geology. This article analyses the archive's projection of the imperial geological imaginary that emanated from Britain and extended to the Americas.

ABSTRACT When coal mines expand across Central and Eastern India, agrarian groups typically object strongly to displacement. Meanwhile, and often in the immediate vicinity of the expanding mines, the previously displaced now working in the coal economy protest against mine closures. Additional millions are situated somewhere between attempts to protect

Abstract The paper presents a theoretical analysis of different feedback concepts for active vibration control of rotating machines with current‐controlled electrodynamic actuators between the machine feet and the steel frame foundation. A generalized mathematical formulation—based on a detailed formulation and on simplified formulations—has been ...

Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Mycorrhizal symbiosis, specifically arbuscular mycorrhiza, is one of Earth's oldest and most widespread symbiosis. Existing evidence suggests that plant species differ in their associations with mycorrhizal partners, with different species reported to be always ...

Abstract Variation in habitat quality affects individual fitness through the accumulation of benefits and costs over time. Although an individual's fitness and susceptibility to mortality are consequences of these past experiences, current analytical models do not quantify the cumulative effects of resources, risks, and environmental conditions on ...
