Shape Memory Soft Robotics with Yield Stress Fluids
Many organisms use non‐Newtonian fluids and pressurized cavities to produce movement. Inspired by these biological motifs, this study 3D prints soft robotics into a yield stress support matrix and retains the support material as the power transmission fluid.

Association between shell morphology of micro-land snails (genus Plectostoma) and their predator’s predatory behaviour [PDF]
Predator–prey interactions are among the main ecological interactions that shape the diversity of biological form. In many cases, the evolution of the mollusc shell form is presumably driven by predation.
