Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Farmers frequently suffer from musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain (LBP), mainly due to occupational ergonomic factors such as repetitive stooping and lifting. This study proposes using an exoskeleton to reduce LBP risk by providing external torque to the hip joints.

Life history induces markedly divergent insect responses to habitat loss
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study pioneers the use of deep learning to rapidly assess over 22,000 Amazonian insects, revealing life history‐dependent winners and losers from forest loss. It shows that terrestrial insects decline while aquatic insects thrive, with body size influencing dispersal, offering key insights for biodiversity conservation in tropical fragmented ...

Social immunity in a supercolonial invasive ant: Nest structure confers immune function
Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.This study provides the first examination of social immunity in a supercolonial ant subject to attack by a specialist internally infecting pathogen. It is also the first study to directly manipulate the nest template to see how space shapes the outcome of social immune behaviours.

Insect Science, EarlyView.Despite the minimal annual temperature variation and the widespread distribution of potential year‐round habitats in Ghana, the migratory potential of the local fall armyworm remains strong and is indistinguishable from that of the fall armyworm in China, which undergo seasonal migration.

Improved light extraction in the bioluminescent lantern of a Photuris firefly (Lampyridae)
, 2013 A common problem of light sources emitting from an homogeneous high-refractive index medium into air is the loss of photons by total internal reflection. Bioluminescent organisms, as well as artificial devices, have to face this problem.

Insect Science, EarlyView.We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.
