Scientists’ warning on the global destruction of rock outcrop ecosystems
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Rock outcrops are geological formations that harbor a highly specialized biota adapted to harsh environmental conditions that differ from their surrounding landscapes. They are globally distributed, especially in old, highly weathered landscapes, and can function as habitat islands containing high levels of endemism and distinct evolutionary ...

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Researchers combined aerial and ground surveys to map baobab distribution and assess elephant herbivory impacts on baobabs across Karingani Game Reserve, Mozambique. Researchers found that aerial surveys were an effective tool for mapping baobabs and that baobabs were more likely to occur closer to permanent water, at lower elevations, and in areas ...

Assessment of the basaltic rocks in Yemen for the basalt fibers production
Thamar University Journal of Natural & Applied SciencesRepresentative samples were collected from 22 sites across Yemen. The geochemical analysis found that the SiO2 content ranges from 40.40 to 55.60%, the Al2O3 content ranges from 12.70 to 16.10%, the Fe2O3 content ranges from 8.41 to 15.80%, the CaO content ranges from 3.66 to 11.05%, and the MgO content ranges from 1.30 to 11.40%.

Journal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Sleep disturbances are prevalent after acquired brain injury and negatively affect quality of life. Sensory hypersensitivity may cause or exacerbate sleep disturbances, yet evidence on this relationship after acquired brain injury is lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the hypothesised positive relationship between the severity ...

Confirming the impact origin of the São Miguel do Tapuio structure, northeastern Brazil
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract The São Miguel do Tapuio structure (SMT) is a remarkable, nearcircular feature of about 21 km diameter, centered at 5°37.6′ S, 41°23.3′ W in Piauí state, northeastern Brazil. The structure is located within the sedimentary strata of the Paleozoic–Mesozoic Parnaíba Basin and predominantly comprises sandstones of the Devonian Pimenteiras and ...
