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.

Forest Net Primary Production Resistance Across a Gradient of Moderate Disturbance [PDF]
, 2014 The global carbon (C) balance is vulnerable to disturbances that alter terrestrial C uptake and loss. Moderate disturbances that kill or defoliate only a subset of canopy trees such as insect defoliation, drought, and age-related senescence are ...

The influence of forest regrowth, original canopy cover and tree size on saproxylic beetles associated with old oaks [PDF]
, 2000 Abandoned management has caused many sites with free-standing, large oaks (Quercus robur) to become more shaded. This study shows how forest regrowth affects beetle species associated with old oaks in south-eastern Sweden. Beetles were trapped by pitfall

Wind‐driven seed dispersal differentially promotes seed trapping and retention across alpine plants
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Seed dispersal can mediate species interactions between plants across life stages. Plants can physically stop seed movement (seed trapping) and prevent further dispersal following entrapment (seed retention). We therefore hypothesized seed trapping and retention rates depend on the physical attributes of interacting seeds and plants ...

Coexistence of Tree Canopy Species
, 2020 The canopy tree species Fraxinus platypoda, Pterocarya rhoifolia, and Cercidiphyllum japonicum coexist at the Ooyamazawa riparian forest research site. In this chapter, we clarify the coexistence mechanisms of riparian tree species as they pertain to disturbance regimes, life-history strategies, and responses to environmental factors.

Comparison of Canopy Openness in Different Cocoa (Theobroma cacao) Production Systems in Alto Beni, Bolivia [PDF]
, 2013 Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) grows naturally as an understory tree in tropical forests and produces well under shaded and non-shaded conditions. It is cultivated by small scale farmers in South America under various conditions, ranging from monocultures to

Tree size and herbivory determine below-canopy grass quality and species composition in savannahs [PDF]
, 2009 Large single-standing trees are rapidly declining in savannahs, ecosystems supporting a high diversity of large herbivorous mammals. Savannah trees are important as they support both a unique flora and fauna.

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.
