Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
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.

Global Climatic Zones in the Last Glacial Maximum Estimated From Assimilated Temperature Data
This study estimated Global Climatic Zones (GCZs) during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) using assimilated temperature data and the k‐means++ machine learning method for enhanced objectivity. Present‐day GCZ boundaries were determined and then applied to the LGM data, which was 6°C cooler globally. Results showed all LGM zones shifted toward the equator,

Abstract There is limited understanding on how complex interdependencies among large herbivore grazing, competitive and facilitative interactions among plants, and the changes in temperatures and precipitation shape northern boreal and subarctic ecosystems.

Utilization of remote sensing in Alaska permafrost studies [PDF]
Permafrost related features such as: aufeis, tundra, thaw lakes and subsurface ice features were studied. LANDSAT imagery was used to measure the extent and distribution of aufeis in Arctic Slope rivers over a period of 7 years.

Predation Risk Does Not Delay Breeding but Reduces Nest Survival in High‐Arctic Shorebirds
We assessed the impact of arctic foxes' predation pressure on two sympatric sandpiper species. Fox activity influenced the breeding ecology of both sandpipers, with earlier nest initiations and lower nest survival rates in areas of high fox activity. ABSTRACT Understanding predator–prey interactions is crucial for correctly answering many fundamental ...

Retracing the Response of Rangifer to Postglacial Climate Change in Arctic Islands
Our study examines the role of sea ice and glacial retreat in shaping the biogeography of Rangifer tarandus across Arctic islands since the last glacial period. Using mitochondrial DNA analysis and approximate Bayesian computation (ABC) modelling, we found that Arctic island dispersal occurred during the Holocene, with sea ice cover likely influencing ...
