Phylogeny and historical biogeography of the Pachira sensu lato clade (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae) with a new infrageneric classification

TAXON, EarlyView.
Abstract We explore phylogenetic relationships within the Pachira sensu lato clade (Bombacoideae, Malvaceae), test the monophyly of the genera Eriotheca and Pachira, and investigate their biogeographic history. The Pachira s.l. clade comprises ca. 72 species that traditionally have been placed in Eriotheca and Pachira. We sampled ca. 79% of its species

Coastal sand dunes of southeast Sri Lanka

Journal of the National Science Foundation of Sri Lanka, 1990
Sand dunes are the most common landforms of the Sri .Lankan coasts even though little attention has been paid to them in the field of geomorphological studies in the island. In the first part of this study.the large-scale factors governing the sand dune formation are analysed, as an introduction to the aeolian environment of thc SE coast. In the second

Morphological Response of Coastal Dunes to Typhoons and Winter Monsoons on Pingtan Island, China

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering
Wind plays a crucial role in the formation of coastal dunes, and in China, these dunes are shaped by the combined effects of typhoons and winter monsoons. However, the unique characteristics of Chinese coastal dunes impacted by these forces remain poorly

Dutch dilemma: Housing prices and flood risk exposure

Real Estate Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract This article studies the impact of flood risk exposure on housing prices in a major river delta. Analyzing 1.8 million property transactions from 1998 to 2023 in the Netherlands, we find an average price discount of 1.1%. We observe considerable heterogeneity in price effects driven by exposure intensity, institutional settings that vary ...

Taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a Mediterranean coastal area: implications for dune conservation in a long‐term ecological research eLTER site

Insect Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the taxonomic and functional diversity of noctuoid moths in a protected coastal dune system in Central Italy, revealing strong ecological associations between moth assemblages and dune zonation. Differences in species composition and trait attributes, along with the presence of habitat‐exclusive species, highlight the role of ...

An Overlooked Habitat‐Dependent Link Between Metabolism and Water Loss in Reptiles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We measured the gas exchange of six lizard and six snake species, under high and low air humidity, and two intriguing patterns emerged. First, although desert species lose less water via evaporation than similar‐sized mesic species under similar conditions, water loss is virtually the same when each is exposed to its natural conditions.
