This paper describes a robot inspired by springtails' jumping mechanism, using a compliant hinge to enable terrain-adaptable takeoff without onboard sensing.

This study shows bacterial motility patterns smoothly transition between run-and-tumble and hop-and-trap behaviors across varying spatial confinement and disorder.

The paper examines how fish locomotor kinematics and energetics vary with environmental and biological factors, showing correlations between kinematic modulation and metabolic rate changes.

This study tracks giant danios in 3D to show they rarely form planar diamond schools, instead adopting a ladder formation that is more common and correlates with swimming speed.

This study shows that schooling fish reduce their energy expenditure in turbulent flow by 63-79% compared to solitary fish.

This study shows that Caenorhabditis elegans senses and responds to gravity through an active behavior requiring gravisensation, with gravity response declining with age.
