We are aware of the capacities of the human mind such as consciousness, intelligence,
empathy, love–but are these capacities only of the human mind? What are the other big …

The majority of robotic vehicles that can be found today are bound to operations within a
single media (ie land, air or water). This is very rarely the case when considering locomotive …

Vampire bats are the only mammals that feed exclusively on blood. To uncover genomic
changes associated with this dietary adaptation, we generated a haplotype-resolved …

This paper presents the design, development, and verification of a miniature integrated
jum** and gliding robot, the MultiMo-Bat, which is inspired by the locomotion strategy of …

Although constituting only a small percentage of earth's terrestrial land area, islands hold a
disproportionate number of unique taxa and ecological communities. For example …

Morphology plays an important role in behavioral and locomotion strategies of living and
artificial systems. There is biological evidence that adaptive morphological changes can not …

Body motions (kinematics) of animals can be dimensionally complex, especially when
flexible parts of the body interact with a surrounding fluid. In these systems, tracking motion …

For centuries, elephant locomotion has been a contentious and confusing challenge for
locomotion scientists to understand, not only because of technical difficulties but also …

With the aim to extend the versatility and adaptability of robots in complex environments, a
novel multi-modal flying and walking robot is presented. The robot consists of a flying wing …

Island biogeography is the study of the distribution and dynamics of species in island
environments. Due to their isolation from more widespread continental species, islands are …
