Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

The role and value of water in natural capital restoration on the Agulhas Plain [PDF]

The Agulhas Plain is a low-lying coastal area within the Cape Floristic Region classified as one of the six plant kingdoms of the world. The area is heavily invaded by alien vegetation that infringes upon the sustainable supply of ecosystem goods and ...

Gapless Complete Genome and Multi‐Omics Illuminate Immune Adaptation and Host‐Virus Interactions in a Coronavirus Reservoir

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We present a complete T2T genome assembly for a key bat reservoir. Integrating population genomics, comparative genomics, transcriptomics, single‐cell omics, and functional assays, we resolve previously inaccessible genomic regions and identify evolutionary signatures associated with immune adaptation.

The Impact of Litter from Different Belowground Organs of Phragmites australis on Microbial-Mediated Soil Organic Carbon Accumulation in a Lacustrine Wetland

Microorganisms
Although belowground litter decomposition critically influences lacustrine wetland soil carbon dynamics, the organ-specific microbial mechanisms driving soil organic carbon (SOC) accumulation remain unclear. Existing research has predominantly focused on

The Interplay Between Molybdopterin Synthase and Metal Metabolism Contributes to Pathogenicity in Acinetobacter baumannii

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Pathogenic Acinetobacter baumannii scavenges metal ions as nutritional elements to survive within the host. This study demonstrates that molybdopterin synthase is essential for pathogenesis and full virulence during infection. Molybdopterin synthase subunit MoaE constitutes an intrinsically disordered C‐terminal histidine rich tail, which mediates ...

Metabolomic and Physiological Analysis of Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) in Response to Ericoid Mycorrhizal Fungi (Oidiodendron maius H14)

Horticulturae
Ericoid mycorrhizal fungi (EMF) enhance plant fitness and metabolic regulations in nutrient-poor soils, though the mechanisms diving these interactions require further elucidation.

Contrasting plant–microbe interrelations on soil Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate and pyrene degradation by three dicotyledonous plant species

Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2017
Plants and associated microbial communities can actively participate in the biodegradation of organic pollution. Potexperiments were conducted to explore the plant–microbe interrelations on Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and pyrene degradation in a ...

Complementary or Competitive? Emerging Interactions Between Restoration and Protection in the Conservation Reserve Program

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The USDA's Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) delivers environmental benefits to society by enrolling cropland and grasslands to reestablish or safeguard long‐term vegetative cover. In recent years, the CRP has dramatically increased grassland enrollment while cropland enrollment has been in steady decline. This paper uses descriptive analysis,

Habitat filtering and exclusion of weak competitors jointly explain fern species assemblage along a light and water gradient

Scientific Reports, 2017
Fern species are an important component of the diversity of forest plant communities, but very little is known about how fern communities assemble in different environments.
