Cooling by melting precipitation in Alpine valleys: An idealized numerical modelling study [PDF]
Cooling by melting precipitation in Alpine valleys is investigated. In this case, the latent heat required for melting the falling snow is continuously removed from the valley air until the snowline reaches the valley bottom. Numerical simulations with a

Primula octopoda, a Stoloniferous New Species From Western Sichuan, China
Primula octopoda W.B.Ju & Q.Huang, a new species of Primula (Primulaceae) in sect. Aleuritia, is herein described and illustrated from Batang County, Sichuan Province, southwestern China. Morphologically, P. octopoda is most similar to P. stenocalyx, but it can be readily distinguished by its dwarf habit, the presence of stolons 2–7 cm in length ending

DNA barcoding enabled the creation of the first large, taxonomically verified barcode library for Polish millipedes, covering 981 individuals and 58 species (62% of the national fauna), with 468 COI sequences. The study reveals potential cryptic diversity, shifts in the Polish diplopod fauna and documents Melogona broelemanni as a species newly ...

Impacts of Federal Policies and Programs on Wetlands [PDF]
Human activities have resulted in the loss of about half of the original 221 million acres of wetlands in the conterminous 48 states. Federal laws, policies, and programs have had major impacts on the nation's wetland resources.

We developed a species distribution model to assess habitat suitability for the European wildcat across Italy, integrating newly collected occurrence records and mitochondrial DNA data from the Central–Southern Apennines. Forest and grassland cover and elevation emerged as the main predictors of occurrence, with the highest suitability concentrated in ...
