Aeolian transport of cohesive sand [PDF]
EPJ Web of ConferencesThe influence of moisture on wind-driven sand transport is particularly important in coastal environements. While moisture is generally low in desert sands, it significantly affects sand transport on beaches or in coastal dune dynamics.

Cyclaulus in the Peruvian Coastal Desert (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)
The Florida Entomologist, 1976 The mesostenine genus Cyclaulus, previously known only from east Andean cloud forests between northwest Argentina and Colombia, is reported for the first time from the Peruvian Coastal Desert. Cyclaulus eremia n. sp. is described from Samne, Peru, and the Valle de Lluta in northernmost Chile.

Exploring wave propagation behaviors in rock: A grain‐based perspective on mineral structures
Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.This study investigates wave propagation in rock at the grain scale using a grain‐based model, revealing that mineral elastic modulus significantly influences wave attenuation while grain size and distribution have limited effects. A novel peak particle velocity attenuation prediction model is proposed and validated for grain‐scale wave propagation ...

Analysis of Coastal Zone Data of Northern Yantai Collected by Remote Sensing from 1990 to 2018
Applied Sciences, 2019 Using remote sensing images of different time phases from 1990 to 2018, the surface coverage information of northern Yantai (coastline, 2 km from coastline to land) was extracted by means of average high tide line and visual interpretation. The end point

Embryonic development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata
Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Starfish play essential ecological roles as predators and ecosystem regulators; however, detailed developmental descriptions exist for only a handful of species, none of which are from the Mediterranean Sea. Results In this study, we provide the first full account of the development of the Mediterranean starfish Hacelia attenuata ...

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.Abstract The sea anemone, Nematostella vectensis, has been used as a model organism in developmental biology studies for many years. This estuarine species has the notable capacity to regenerate its full body plan from small pieces throughout life. Nematostella have been described as having a great degree of cellular plasticity.
