Biodiversity conservation gaps in the Brazilian protected areas [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2017 AbstractAlthough Brazil is a megadiverse country and thus a conservation priority, no study has yet quantified conservation gaps in the Brazilian protected areas (PAs) using extensive empirical data. Here, we evaluate the degree of biodiversity protection and knowledge within all the Brazilian PAs through a gap analysis of vertebrate, arthropod and ...

Effects of particle-number conservation on heat capacity of nuclei [PDF]
, 2005 By applying the particle-number projection to the finite-temperature BCS theory, the $S$-shaped heat capacity, which has recently been claimed to be a fingerprint of the superfluid-to-normal phase transition in nuclei, is reexamined. It is found that the

Conservation, mismatch and the research–implementation gap [PDF]
Pacific Conservation Biology, 2015 Despite calls to better link research and practice, the gap between knowing and doing continues to limit conservation success. Here we report on the outcomes from a workshop at the Society for Conservation Biology Oceania Conference 2014 on bridging the research–implementation gap. The workshop highlighted how the gap is still very real in conservation

Mining the gap in long-term residential water and electricity conservation
Environmental Research Letters, 2021 Climate change and economic development provide a strong rationale for urban water and electricity conservation. Although behavioral and technological factors link short-term conservation of both resources, their long-term residential consumption trends ...
