Ten recommendations for political ecology case research [PDF]
, 2022 Contributions in political ecology draw heavily on case study research. This has triggered questions regarding the wider theoretical relevance to such studies. This article argues that one of the main shortcomings of political ecology case studies is not

Variation in thermal physiology can drive the temperature-dependence of microbial community richness
eLifePredicting how species diversity changes along environmental gradients is an enduring problem in ecology. In microbes, current theories tend to invoke energy availability and enzyme kinetics as the main drivers of temperature-richness relationships. Here,

The importance of species interactions in eco-evolutionary community dynamics under climate change
Nature Communications, 2021 Understanding the dynamics of species interactions can help predict community responses to climate change. A spatially explicit model finds that species interactions and competition mitigate the harmful impacts of climate change, and that temperature ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 IntroductionSpace use patterns in fish result from the interactions between individual movement behaviour and characteristics of the environment. Herbivorous parrotfishes, for instance, are constrained by the availability of resources and different ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This review identifies key design considerations for insect‐inspired microrobots capable of multimodal locomotion. To draw inspiration, biological and robotic strategies for moving in air, on water surfaces, and underwater are examined, along with approaches for crossing the air–water interface.

Mixotrophy: the missing link in consumer-resource-based ecologies
, 2015 The classical separate treatments of competi- tion and predation and difficulties in providing a sensible theoretical basis for mutualism attest to the inability of traditional models to provide a synthesising framework for trophic interactions, a ...

Recent advances in metacommunities and meta-ecosystem theories [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
F1000Research, 2017 Metacommunity theory has provided many insights into the general problem of local versus regional control of species diversity and relative abundance. The metacommunity framework has been extended from competitive interactions to whole food webs that can

Grip and Grasp: Lizard Claw Inspired Robotic Manipulators
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Our study identifies the most effective lizard claw shape for use as an end effector in a bioinspired robotic manipulator. By examining key geometric features and combining them into comparative indices, the Crotaphytus collaris claw is found to be the best fit.
