Article Synopsis
- * A new species, Lygodactylus lobeke sp. nov., was identified from a female in Cameroon and a male in Angola, which highlighted existing issues in distinguishing certain candidate species among the Lygodactylus groups.
- * This new species is small and lacks vibrant color patterns, differing from closely related species like L. fischeri, and has been confirmed as a distinct clade through genetic analysis, with known habitats in the Lower Guinea rainforests.
Exploring noisy Jeffery orbits: A combined Fokker-Planck and Langevin analysis in two and three dimensions.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on the behavior of nonspherical particles, particularly elongated ones, in shear flow, building on the historical work of Jeffery which described their motion.
- It employs Langevin simulations and the Fokker-Planck equation to analyze how these particles respond to noise and calculates key parameters that represent their ordering behaviors, such as nematic ordering and biaxiality.
- The research finds that as noise decreases or Péclet number increases, nematic order improves, while biaxiality peaks at a certain value, and it also reveals that particles in 3D rotate faster than in 2D under the same noise conditions.
TriTrap: A Robotic Gripper Inspired by Insect Tarsal Chains.

Gripping, holding, and moving objects are among the main functional purposes of robots. Ever since automation first took hold in society, optimizing these functions has been of high priority, and a multitude of approaches has been taken to enable cheaper, more reliable, and more versatile gripping. Attempts are ongoing to reduce grippers' weight, energy consumption, and production and maintenance costs while simultaneously improving their reliability, the range of eligible objects, working loads, and environmental independence.
