At‐nest drone monitoring causes minimal behavioural disturbance in breeding Eurasian Curlew

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 4, October–December 2026.
Incubating Eurasian Curlew taken with DJI Mavic 3T optical camera at a height of 25 m. Drone‐based monitoring of breeding Curlew in lowland England caused minimal behavioural disturbance. Although incubating birds frequently looked up at the drone, displacement from the nest was rare, suggesting that drones can provide an effective low‐impact ...

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 5, October 2026.
Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.

Evaluating Environmental DNA for Pacific Salmon Spawner Enumeration Across Diverse Freshwater Systems

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Advancing environmental DNA (eDNA) beyond species detection could provide scalable tools for estimating fish abundance, but the predictive relationships between eDNA concentration and abundance are often system‐specific and influenced by highly variable environmental conditions.

Effect of Damp Heat Aging on Solder Interconnection Reliability and Photoluminescence Degradation of Polycrystalline Silicon Solar Cells for Solar‐Powered UAV Applications

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
Damp heat aging degraded both solder interconnections and silicon solar cells, leading to increased electrical resistance and reduced photoluminescence intensity. Among the solder alloys evaluated, SnAgCu exhibited the most stable electrical performance, making it a promising candidate for improving the long‐term reliability of solar‐powered UAVs ...

Experimental Investigation of Electromagnetic Interference Effects on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Video Transmission Quality

open access: yesApplied Research, Volume 5, Issue 5, October 2026.
The experiment demonstrates that increasing received interference power significantly degrades video transmission quality, resulting in blurring, shaking, freezing, buffering and the complete disappearance of the video feed. ABSTRACT Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are more widely used in industry and are reliant on stable real‐time communication and ...
