Mitigating light pollution impacts on arthropods based on light-emitting diode properties. [PDF]

Conserv Biol
Abstract Light pollution from artificial light at night (ALAN) is a significant environmental problem with far‐reaching consequences for ecological systems. Recent innovations in light‐emitting diode (LED) technology may offer sustainable outdoor lighting solutions, but scientific evidence is lacking. We investigated the effects of various LED lighting

Overview of factors influencing consumer engagement with plastic recycling

WIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 12, Issue 6, November/December 2023., 2023
Factors influencing consumer behavior in plastic waste recycling. Abstract Many semi‐durable and durable consumer goods are composed of plastic. Yet, plastic pollution is one of the most pressing environmental issues as it harms oceans and marine biodiversity. This state of affairs is worsened because plastic recycling rates remain low.

Tropical Easterly Waves Over Costa Rica and Their Relationship to the Diurnal Cycle of Rainfall

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 50, Issue 20, 28 October 2023., 2023
Abstract Using an index of tropical easterly wave (TEW) activity derived from spacetime‐filtered outgoing longwave radiation, we construct composites of long‐term hourly surface meteorological observations and morningtime sounding data collected near San José, Costa Rica to investigate how TEWs affect the diurnal cycle of rainfall over land.

Tracer‐aided ecohydrological modelling across climate, land cover, and topographical gradients in the tropics

Hydrological Processes, Volume 37, Issue 5, May 2023., 2023
A new conceptual tracer‐aided ecohydrology model STARRtropics was successfully adapted to simulate daily water, tracer, and storage dynamics in a large‐scale tropical catchment driven by isotope‐enabled regional climate model output. The simulated catchment was dominated by precipitation and topography with more dynamic water and tracer responses in ...

Courts as an arena for socioenvironmental change: Lessons from the Argentine courts

European Law Journal, Volume 29, Issue 3-6, Page 294-311, May-November 2023., 2023
Abstract Trends in the Argentine courts indicate a judicial preference towards flexibility in light of possibly serious environmental consequences, particularly in relation to mining. Through a liberal interpretation of constitutional provisions where collective environmental rights are threatened, the courts have expanded access to justice, leading ...

Proximity to metal mining is related to aspects of feather coloration but not fluctuating asymmetry in the Russet‐crowned Motmot (Momotus mexicanus) in south‐central Mexico

Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 2, Page 587-601, April 2023., 2023
Mining is present in all major biomes worldwide and overlaps strongly with areas of importance for bird conservation. Mining causes multiple types of environmental disturbance, including habitat alteration, increased human presence and persistent heavy metal pollution. Feather coloration and fluctuating asymmetry (random deviation from perfect symmetry

Morphology of sagitta, lapillus and asteriscus of Patagonian Genidens barbus

Marine and Fishery Sciences, 2022
Otoliths are calcium carbonate structures, deposited as aragonite, located in the inner ear of bony fish. In recent years, they have become a useful tool for the determination of fish species, trophic content, age studies, and the identification of fish

Ozone and its nighttime concentration in the southern Mexico City metropolitan area

Geofísica Internacional, 1988
Desde 1975 se han registrado los niveles de oxidantes en la atmosfera en varios puntos del área metropolitana de la ciudad de México. Se ha observado con evidencia el transporte atmosférico de contaminantes tales como el ozono hacia el extremo sur de la ...
