The integration of functional traits into vulnerability assessments is a promising approach to
quantitatively capture differences in species sensitivity and adaptive capacity to climate …

Molting is a highly complex process that requires precise coordination to be successful. We
describe the early classical endocrinological experiments that elucidated the hormones and …

Species across a wide range of taxa and habitats are shifting phenological events in
response to climate change. While advances are common, shifts vary in magnitude and …

Identifying factors that influence how ectothermic animals respond physiologically to
changing temperatures is of high importance given current threats of global climate change …

Artificial muscles are of significant value in robotic applications. Rigid artificial muscles
possess a strong load‐bearing capacity, while their deformation is small; soft artificial …

Phenotypic plasticity can be broadly defined as the ability of one genotype to produce more
than one phenotype when exposed to different environments, as the modification of …

Early studies recognizing the importance of the decapod eyestalk in the endocrine
regulation of crustacean physiology—molting, metabolism, reproduction, osmotic balance …

Biomining comprises of processing and extraction of metal from their ores and concentrates
using microbial techniques. Currently this is used by the mining industry to extract copper …

Organisms in nature grow with senses, nervous, and actuation systems coordinated in
ingenious ways to sustain metabolism and other essential life activities. The understanding …

Species' thermal tolerances are used to estimate climate vulnerability, but few studies
consider the role of the hydric environment in shaping thermal tolerances. As environments …
