From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Mothbox and Mothbot: Automated light trap and data processing system for scalable insect monitoring

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 7, Page 2082-2091, July 2026.
Abstract Insects represent the most diverse group of organisms on Earth and comprise the majority of known species; yet they are seldom accounted for in large‐scale biodiversity monitoring systems and conservation planning. We have developed the Mothbox—an open source automated light trap that makes insect monitoring accessible to non‐specialists and ...

Environmental Quality Index of Urban Forest Remnants From Soil Analysis and Leaf Area Index, in Campinas – Brazil

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Assessing soil quality in forest fragments is crucial for understanding ecosystem dynamics and guiding conservation strategies. This study evaluates soil properties (0–0.20m) and leaf area index (LAI) using principal component analysis (PCA) and the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) to identify key indicators of soil environmental quality ...

Interplay of Diet, Heat Stress, and the Microbiome Shapes Health and Escape Behaviour in Amphibian Larvae

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 6, June 2026.
Diet and temperature jointly shape the gut microbiome and host performance in amphibian larvae. In a multifactorial experiment with Rana temporaria, diet quality, rearing temperature, and heatwave exposure altered microbial communities and predicted metabolic pathways, while host health remained largely stable, suggesting microbiome plasticity and ...
