  • Hydro-responsive plant movements have provided inspiration for the design of adaptive materials. Harringtonet al. investigate the hydration-dependent unfolding of ice plant seed capsules and find an origami-like folding pattern, which could aid the development of biomimetic folding structures.

  • The authors collate a meta-collection of ex situ living plant diversity held in 50 botanical collections worldwide, spanning a century of data and currently containing ~500,000 accessions. Their analyses examine the capacities and constraints within living plant collections, reveal the impact of the Convention on Biological Diversity and its consequences for material exchange and conservation, and call for the re-evaluation of strategic priorities.

  • Springtails, wingless arthropods, are adapted to cutaneous respiration in temporarily rain-flooded habitats by a hierarchically structured skin surface. A tunable polymer replication process was applied to dissect the contributions of different structural elements and surface chemistry to the omniphobic performance of the skin.
