A Window of Opportunity

Docomomo Journal
The effects of climate change, resource depletion, and volatile economic circumstances require a reflection on current design approaches that can be gained through lessons from the original and mediated intentions of the Modern Movement.

The Influence of the Envelope Color on Energy Consumption

Proceedings of the International Conference of Contemporary Affairs in Architecture and Urbanism-ICCAUA, 2019
The housing stock in the world and in Algeria is constantly growing, with a sharp increase in energy consumption. An intervention on this park, trying to reduce energy use passively by designing and building energy-efficient housing, can generate ...

Community assembly on inland cliffs is context‐dependent

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Under harsh environmental conditions, community assembly processes are expected to drive pronounced functional convergence, with communities dominated by stress‐tolerant species.

Bat community assembly in the ecotone of two neotropical biodiversity hotspots is determined by environmental filtering rather than historical factors

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that environmental filtering is the primary mechanism shaping bat communities across the Cerrado–Atlantic Forest ecotone. By integrating phylogenetic diversity, environmental gradients, and coevolutionary assembly models, our study provides new insights into the processes maintaining biodiversity in a globally important transition zone ...

Behavioral, Ecological, and Morphological Data Suggest a Close Relationship Between the Ant Colobopsis truncata and the Gall Wasp Aphelonyx cerricola

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Aphelonyx cerricola and the different stages that make this gall colonizable by ants. ABSTRACT Wasps of the family Cynipidae are known to induce galls of a species‐specific morphology, which during senescence provide a refuge for secondary insect fauna, especially ants.

Potential of Bioclimatic Architecture in the Formation of Regional Spatial Environment

Bioclimatic architecture is a world-known trend in building architecture design, but in Latvia this term is scarcely used. While studying the theory of architecture and analysing practical examples, the author of this Paper has endeavoured to outline the

Climatic–Anthropogenic Synergy Drives Escalating Minimum Area Requirements and Connectivity‐Protection Mismatch in a Karst‐Endemic Primate

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Climate change and anthropogenic activities drive antagonistic degradation of landscape connectivity for endangered François’ langur (1987–2024), causing 48.8% habitat loss, north‐south fragmentation, and centroid migration (1.2 km/yr). Despite protected areas buffering connectivity, static management fails dynamic priority habitats; we propose ...

Museomics Deciphers the Phylogeographic Differentiation and Conservation Status of a Montane Pheasant

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Museum specimens provide a rich source of historical DNA, enabling insights into phylogenetic relationships and demographic history of the endangered Koklass Pheasant. Our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized population in Guizhou province and highlighted elevated extinction risk in populations from Anhui province and Southern China, informing ...
