Microplastics do not increase toxicity of a hydrophobic organic chemical to marine plankton.
Marine pollution bulletin
Nov 17, 2018
Planktonic sea-urchin larvae actively ingest polyethylene microplastics (MP) that accumulate in the larval stomach and can be distinguished from natural food using polarized light microscopy. MP filtering rates were similar to those of natural partic...
Social and nutritional factors shape larval aggregation, foraging, and body mass in a polyphagous fly.
Scientific reports
Oct 3, 2018
The majority of insect species have a clearly defined larval stage during development. Larval nutrition is crucial for individuals' growth and development, and larval foraging success often depends on both resource availability and competition for th...
Direct Analysis in Real Time-Mass Spectrometry and Kohonen Artificial Neural Networks for Species Identification of Larva, Pupa and Adult Life Stages of Carrion Insects.
Analytical chemistry
Jul 9, 2018
Species determination of the various life stages of flies (Order: Diptera) is challenging, particularly for the immature forms, because analogous life stages of different species are difficult to differentiate based on morphological features alone. I...
Assessment of anthelmintic activity and bio-guided chemical analysis of Persea americana seed extracts.
Veterinary parasitology
Dec 27, 2017
The aim of this study was to characterize the extracts and fractions of Persea americana Mill. (Avocado) seeds and to determine the composition and the in vitro anthelmintic activity against third-stage larvae (L3) of Haemonchus contortus. The fresh ...
Procyanidin A2 in the Australian plant Alectryon oleifolius has anthelmintic activity against equine cyathostomins in vitro.
Veterinary parasitology
Nov 21, 2017
There is a need to investigate new methods of controlling cyathostomins in horses due to increasing anthelmintic resistance amongst these parasites. In a previous study we identified the Australian plant Alectryon oleifolius as having anthelmintic ac...
Dynamical analysis and development of a biologically inspired SMA caterpillar robot.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 26, 2017
With the goal of robustly designing and fabricating a soft robot based on a caterpillar featuring shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators, analytical and numerical models for a soft robot were created based on the forward crawling motion of the Manduca se...
A miniaturized wall-climbing segment robot inspired by caterpillar locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 15, 2017
Caterpillars are very successful soft-bodied climbers that navigate in complex environments. This paper develops a multi-segmented robot climbing on vertical surfaces using dry adhesive pads, inspired by caterpillar locomotion. The miniaturized robot...
Automated analysis of brain activity for seizure detection in zebrafish models of epilepsy.
Journal of neuroscience methods
Jun 1, 2017
BACKGROUND: Epilepsy is a chronic neurological condition, with over 30% of cases unresponsive to treatment. Zebrafish larvae show great potential to serve as an animal model of epilepsy in drug discovery. Thanks to their high fecundity and relatively...
Artificial Metamorphosis: Evolutionary Design of Transforming, Soft-Bodied Robots.
Artificial life
May 3, 2016
We show how the concept of metamorphosis, together with a biologically inspired model of multicellular development, can be used to evolve soft-bodied robots that are adapted to two very different tasks, such as being able to move in an aquatic and in...
Softworms: the design and control of non-pneumatic, 3D-printed, deformable robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Mar 10, 2016
Robots that can easily interact with humans and move through natural environments are becoming increasingly essential as assistive devices in the home, office and hospital. These machines need to be safe, effective, and easy to control. One strategy ...
