Study of the Particle Breakage Characteristics of Coral Sand Under the Effect of Freezing–Seepage Coupling

open access: yesApplied Sciences
In the development and construction of the South China Sea (SCS), coral sand is a kind of common natural construction material. Sanya submarine tunnel is the first application of artificial ground freezing (AGF) in the SCS. Since the tunnel is located at

Integrating ecological feedbacks across scales and levels of organization

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
In ecosystems, species interact in various ways with other species, and with their local environment. In addition, ecosystems are coupled in space by diverse types of flows. From these links connecting different ecological entities can emerge circular pathways of indirect effects: feedback loops.

Toward a global repository of insect traits (GRIT)

open access: yesInsect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biodiversity loss is accelerating, yet insect conservation is hindered by the absence of a centralised, comprehensive trait database. We propose the GRIT, a FAIR, open‐access platform uniting datasets and collaborators worldwide. GRIT will harness advanced computational tools for trait acquisition and imputation, enabling large‐scale ecological ...

Experimental study on development patterns of volumetric strain and predictive modeling for saturated coral sands

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
The coral sand has better drainage conditions, and the drainage deformation of the saturated coral sand under earthquake and wave loads can easily cause damage to the seabed and nearby structures.

Messages for ultraviolet‐radiation protection to fair‐skinned populations

open access: yesJournal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, EarlyView.
This expert consensus summarizes messages for UV protection in fair‐skinned populations. Key messages include no sunbathing or tanning, no sunbeds. UV protection measures are to be used from UV index 3. Priority is given to shade and physical protection. Sunscreen with a strong SPF is to be used on uncovered areas.

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.
