Using drones to reduce human disturbance while monitoring breeding status of an endangered raptor

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 550-561, September 2021., 2021
In birds, obtaining information related to nest occupancy, offspring status or breeding success is essential for population monitoring, particularly for species of conservation concern. Drones present an alternative to traditional climbing methods, but few studies have been done measuring their influence on birds’ behavior and reproductive success.

Geoffroea decorticans for Biofuels: A Promising Feedstock

Journal of Renewable Energy, Volume 2017, Issue 1, 2017., 2017
In this work, chañar (Geoffroea decorticans) fruit is evaluated as a potential feedstock for biodiesel and biomass pellets production with reference to some relevant properties. The fatty acid profile of this oil (83% unsaturated acids) is found to be comparable to similar seed oils which have been attempted for biodiesel production.
