UTact: Underwater Vision‐Based Tactile Sensor with Geometry Reconstruction and Contact Force Estimation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Embedded flexible sensing technologies advance underwater soft robotics, yet most systems still suffer from hysteresis and limited perceptiveness. Instead, vision‐based tactile sensors provide reliable and rapid feedback essential for complex underwater tasks.

Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

Water column occupation by males of Trichogaster leeri (Bleeker, 1852) (Perciformes, Osphronemidae) in aquarium
Ocupação da coluna da água por machos de Trichogaster leeri (Bleeker, 1852) (Perciformes, Osphronemidae) em aquário

Semina: Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde, 2010
Trichogaster leeri is considered a peaceful fish and widely used in aquariums for the beauty of its colors. This study aimed to evaluate the occupation of water column by adult males when kept with other males of the same species. Three 35 cm-long, 22 cm-

A Versatile Three Dimensional Traction Force Microscopy Framework for Uncovering the Mechanics of Bio‐Adhesion

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study introduces a versatile platform for quantifying three dimensional traction forces at bio‐adhesive interfaces. Integrating in situ stereo‐digital image correlation with finite element simulations allows for precise measurement of microscale displacements and traction forces in both dry and wet conditions.

Terniopsis chanthaburiensis (Podostemaceae), a new record for China and its complete plastid genome

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
The genus Terniopsis consists of plants that have not been thoroughly studied, with many species remaining taxonomically unresolved. In this study, Terniopsis chanthaburiensis is reported as a new record of China based on morphological traits. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on genome skimming data.

The influence of multiple stressors on the spatial distribution of corals

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral reef ecosystems are widely threatened by global change, yet the cumulative impacts of multiple interacting stressors remain difficult to quantify over space and time. We evaluate how long‐term artisanal fishing effort, blast fishing, human population density and marine protected areas (MPAs) interact with biophysical and seascape ...
