Small uncrewed aerial vehicles (SUAVs) are highly vulnerable to atmospheric gusts owing to their small sizes and operation in turbulent environments. Despite similar size limitations, birds navigate the same environments with remarkable ste...

Scorpions diverged from their closest relatives around the Ordovician Period, and since then, environmental interactions have shaped the evolution of the material properties of their exoskeletons. Hardening of this structure via the incorpo...

In natural environments such as soils or physiological ducts, swimming microorganisms alternate between three- and two-dimensional motion, exhibiting distinct kinematics. This interplay between three- and two-dimensional motion is intensifi...

Touching an object elicits skin oscillations that are biomechanically transmitted throughout the hand, driving responses in thousands of tactile receptors, including numerous exquisitely sensitive Pacinian corpuscles (PCs). Accepted descrip...
Mechanical and cognitive postural challenges drive shifts in whole-body coordination network [0.03%]

Conventional human movement science often considers body parts and processes separately as belonging to complementary but distinct domains (motor control, cognition). We break with this tradition by exploring how mechanical and cognitive de...
Integrating host competence and vector distribution to predict current and latent hotspots of West Nile virus hazard [0.03%]
结合宿主易感性和媒介分布预测西尼罗病毒风险的当前和潜在热点地区

West Nile virus (WNV) is a mosquito-borne zoonotic pathogen with expanding distribution and recurrent outbreaks in Europe and the Americas. WNV transmission depends on interactions between competent avian hosts and mosquito vectors, but emp...
Confinement and hydraulic resistance appear to separately govern motility and path selection in Physarum polycephalum [0.03%]

In self-organizing biological systems, structure often emerges from the interplay between physical constraints and active behaviours. We explore this principle in the unicellular slime mould Physarum polycephalum, focusing on how it selects...

Point mutations of a genotype can leave the phenotype unchanged, or change it, in some cases radically. The extent of this phenotypic change can critically impact fitness. To investigate the range of possible phenotypic changes that result ...
Stochastic mechanism of dominant follicle selection: selection of one suppresses selection of others [0.03%]
优势卵泡选择的随机机制：一个卵泡被选中会抑制其他卵泡的选择

One of the most critical steps in human reproduction is the selection of the dominant follicle when a single follicle is chosen from a large group of follicles to ovulate. Although this process involves complex hormonal regulation, the comp...
A single autoregressive integrated moving average with exogenous variable outperforms ensembles of autoregressive models for forecasting influenza hospitalizations in the contiguous United States [0.03%]

Infectious disease forecasting is important to public health decision-making, particularly for mitigating the burden of seasonal influenza. We propose and evaluate comprehensive autoregressive modelling approaches (autoregressive integrated...
