Pollination and plant reproduction in the Cerrado, the world's most biodiverse savanna

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 74-105, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Brazilian Cerrado is a continental‐wide biodiversity hotspot and the most species‐rich savanna ecosystem in the world. The main aspect characterising this biodiversity is that the landscape is arranged as an intricate mosaic of different plant formations, including grasslands, savannas, and forests, each harbouring distinct but ...

Testing a General Theory for Optimal Flowering Time in Deciduous Perennial Plants as a Function of Growing Season Length

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.
Climate change affects both the start and duration of growing seasons, creating complex effects on optimal flowering timing that go beyond simple responses to earlier springs. Using optimal energy allocation theory, we found a nonlinear relationship between growing season length and optimal flowering time which was supported by two experiments with ...

Reducing the ‘Silence Between Sessions’: A Qualitative Study on Youth and Professionals' Perspectives on Digital Tools for Suicide Prevention

open access: yesHealth Expectations, Volume 29, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Despite academic and clinical interest in digital suicide prevention tools (‘digital tools’), challenges persist related to their integration into existing care pathways. The objective of this study was to understand how young people and professionals use and perceive digital tools for the management of suicidal thoughts and/or ...

Toward a Fuller Integration of Respiratory Rhythms Into Research on Infant Vocal and Motor Development

open access: yesAnnals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1556, Issue 1, February 2026.
From birth, respiration constitutes an intrinsic rhythm. We suggest that vocalizations and bodily movements are interactively coordinated with this respiratory rhythm, providing a temporal framework for multimodal language development. ABSTRACT Rhythm organizes many human motor activities from before birth and continues to shape development throughout ...

Fifty Years of Natural Killer Cells: Milestones and Future Horizons

open access: yesScandinavian Journal of Immunology, Volume 103, Issue 2, February 2026.
To mark 50 years of NK cell research, a 2025 Karolinska symposium traced discoveries from spontaneous cytotoxicity and “missing self” recognition to receptor biology, cellular diversity, and translational advances, highlighting NK cells’ evolution into modern immunotherapy.

Deterministic topological visual SLAM

Proceedings of the Fifth Symposium on Information and Communication Technology - SoICT '14, 2014
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) addresses the task of building a map of the environment with a robot while simultaneously localizing the robot relative to that map. SLAM is generally regarded as one of the most important problem in the pursuit of building truly autonomous mobile robots and is typically expressed within a probabilistic ...

Visual-inertial direct SLAM

2016 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), 2016
The so-called direct visual SLAM methods have shown a great potential in estimating a semidense or fully dense reconstruction of the scene, in contrast to the sparse reconstructions of the traditional feature-based algorithms. In this paper, we propose for the first time a direct, tightly-coupled formulation for the combination of visual and inertial ...

Towards semantic visual SLAM

2014 13th International Conference on Control Automation Robotics & Vision (ICARCV), 2014
Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping is the process whereby a camera builds a map of a previously unseen environment, and localises itself with respect to that environment, often in real-time. Although there has been remarkable progress, and it is now possible, for example, to build dense maps in real-time using high-end commodity hardware ...
