Impacts of coastal realignment on biodiversity. A systematic review and meta-analysis

Basic and Applied Ecology, 2022
In the context of climate change and sea-level rise, several types of management are employed, including coastal realignment, which consists in reopening polders to marine intrusions. This intervention induces changes in biodiversity. A systematic review,

Large-scale semi-automated acoustic monitoring allows to detect temporal decline of bush-crickets

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2016
Monitoring biodiversity over large spatial and temporal scales is crucial to assess the impact of global changes and environmental mitigation measures.

Inhibition of X52 Corrosion in CO₂-Saturated Brine by a Dialkyl-Diamide from Coffee Bagasse Oil

Molecules, 2023
This work reports the performance of a green corrosion inhibitor with double hydrocarbon chain. The evaluated inhibitor was a dialkyl-diamide from coffee bagasse oil and its electrochemical behavior was evaluated on an API-X52 steel in CO2-saturated ...

La miseria de la degeneración: el materialismo de Buffon y las 'limitaciones' de su transformismo The misery of degeneration: Buffon's materialism and the 'limitations' of his transformism

História, Ciências, Saúde: Manguinhos, 2009
En "De la degeneración des animales", de 1766, Buffon sostuvo un 'transformismo limitado' que, doce años después, en Las épocas de la naturaleza, sería complementado por una teoría materialista sobre el origen de la vida que ponía en evidencia que, para ...

Corrosion Inhibition in CO₂-Saturated Brine by Nd³⁺ Ions

Molecules, 2023
This study reports the use of an inorganic corrosion inhibitor to mitigate dissolved CO2-induced corrosion. Using electrochemical techniques (polarization curves, open circuit potential, polarization resistance, and electrochemical impedance), the effect

Buffon, Jefferson and the theory of New World degeneracy

Evolution: Education and Outreach, 2019
In his magnum opus, Natural History: General and Particular, Count Buffon, one of the leading natural historians of the 18th century, argued that all life in the New World, particularly North America, was degenerate—weaker, smaller and feebler—than life ...

Assessing and forecasting the effects of submersion on biodiversity. A method to implement an ecological-quality indicator in a context of coastal realignment and rising sea levels

Ecological Indicators, 2022
In the context of climate change and sea-level rise, coastal realignment consists in reopening polders to marine waters to favor ‘nature-based’ mitigation measures. Such operations have consequences on biodiversity, which vary depending on the parameters

Félix de Azara, crítico de Buffon

Boletim do Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. Ciências Humanas
En sus "Apuntamientos para la Historia Natural de los Cuadrúpedos del Paraguay y Río de la Plata", de 1802, Félix de Azara (1742-1821) no sólo corrigió la identificación y descripción de muchas especies sudamericanas hechas por Buffon; él también ...

The affinities of Afrophoca libyca from basal Middle Miocene of Gebel Zelten, Libya [PDF]

Acta Palaeontologica Polonica
Re-interpretation of the holotype and only known speci-men of Afrophoca libyca reveals that it represents a me-dium -sized anthracothere, Afromeryx zelteni, a species that is common in the basal Middle Miocene deposits at Gebel Zelten, Libya.
