Human impacts on the distribution and genetic diversity of Eurasian minnows (Phoxinus: Leuciscidae) in the Rhenish Massif

Knowledge and Management of Aquatic Ecosystems
Introductions of non-native species, a key driver of biodiversity loss, may be underestimated due to cryptic species. In the Rhenish Massif (western Germany), anthropogenic introductions of Eurasian minnows (Phoxinus) caused discrepancies in genetic ...

Integrative taxonomy of cryptic Pachypus chafers using museomics, morphometrics, barcoding, and genomic DNA analysis (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae: Pachypodinae)

Scientific Reports
The taxonomy of the endemic Mediterranean genus Pachypus Dejean, 1821 has long been complicated by cryptic diversity and limited morphological differentiation.

Climate change refugia for terrestrial biodiversity [PDF]

, 2013
We are currently facing the likelihood of severe climate change before the close of the century. In the face of such a global driver of species loss, we urgently need to identify refugia that will shelter species from the worst impacts of climate change.

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Biodiversity Conservation in the REDD. [PDF]

, 2010
Deforestation and forest degradation in the tropics is a major source of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The tropics also harbour more than half the world's threatened species, raising the possibility that reducing GHG emissions by curtailing ...

Amphiphilic Non‐Isocyanate Polyurethane Coatings With Tunable Antifouling and Fouling‐Release Performance: A Log‐Ratio Assessment Framework

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Amphiphilic non‐isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) coatings containing reactive hydrophobic poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) prepolymers for marine antifouling (AF) and fouling‐release (FR) applications were investigated. The coatings were evaluated with a set of representative marine foulants.

Climate change and California’s terrestrial biodiversity [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
In this review and synthesis, we argue that California is an important test case for the nation and world because terrestrial biodiversity is very high, present and anticipated threats to biodiversity from climate change and other interacting stressors are severe, and innovative approaches to protecting biodiversity in the context of climate change are
