Measuring Morphological Computation in Turtle-Inspired Multi-Modal Robotic Locomotion

open access: yes2025 IEEE 8th International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft)
Biological systems exploit the dynamic interaction between their body morphology and the environment to adapt more effectively to uncertain and changing environments. Amphibious creatures such as turtles are particularly impressive in their ability to seamlessly traverse radically different environments, e.g., water to sand. There is a growing interest

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

open access: yesThe Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

Development of 4D printing and its performance testing methods

open access: yesResponsive Materials, EarlyView.
This paper reviews the molding methods of 4D printing and its applications in various fields, with emphasis on 4D printing performance testing methods. Abstract 4D printing is a cutting‐edge additive manufacturing technology that introduces the time dimension, allowing printed objects to have dynamic, changeable properties, functions or shapes ...

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Towards amphibious robots: Asymmetric flapping foil motion underwater produces large thrust efficiently [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The development of amphibious robots requires actuation that enables them to crawl as well as swim; sea turtles are excellent examples of amphibious functionality, that can serve as the biomimetic model for the development of amphibious robots.

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Hunting and fishing harvest data collection: a horizon scanning exercise from the French context

open access: yesWildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Legal and societal moves increasingly lead leisure hunting and fishing practitioners to record their harvest. The total number of individuals harvested per population per year is the minimum required information to feed into demographic models and allow science‐based management. Some few schemes record more detailed data, hence allowing better‐informed

One number to rule them all: The Wildlife Sperm Index for standardized gamete assessment

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract In wildlife conservation, breeding programmes focused on reintroduction are critical to recovering endangered species. Assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) and biobanking play pivotal roles in these efforts but depend on high‐quality gametes.

Generating Natural Language from Linked Data:Unsupervised template extraction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We propose an architecture for generating natural language from Linked Data that automatically learns sentence templates and statistical document planning from parallel RDF datasets and text.
