Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

A note on the influence of heat and mass transfer on a peristaltic flow of a viscous fluid in a vertical asymmetric channel with wall slip [PDF]

Chemical Industry and Chemical Engineering Quarterly, 2012
This note deals with the influence of heat and mass transfer on peristaltic flow of an viscous fluid with wall slip condition. The flow is investigated in a wave frame of reference moving with the velocity of the wave.

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Combined Effects of Soret and Dufour on MHD Flow of a Power-Law Fluid Over Flat Plate in Slip Flow Rigime

, 2018
A numerical model is developed to study the Soret and Dufour effects on MHD boundary layer flow of a power-law fluid over a flat plate with velocity, thermal and solutal slip boundary conditions.

Animal empathy reconsidered: a multidimensional profile account

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Empathy is the glue that holds societies together and yet several fundamental questions about empathy persist. What is empathy (the definitional question)? Is it uniquely human and, if not, which nonhuman animals possess empathy (the distribution question)? Which type or quality of empathy is realized in different species (the quality question)

Thermo-Diffusion and Diffusion-Thermo Effects on MHD Convective Flow Past an Impulsively Started Vertical Plate Embedded in Porous Medium

East European Journal of Physics
This study introduces an analytical solution for the unsteady MHD free convection and mass transfer flow past a vertical plate embedded in porous medium, taking into account the Soret and Dufour effects.

Impact of thermal jump condition on Jeffrey fluid flow consisting nanoparticles: An unsteady case

International Journal of Thermofluids, 2023
In this study, we exercise the bivariate spectral local linearization method to solve the present problem of an unsteady hydrodynamic flow and heat transfer of Jeffrey nanofluid over a stretched boundary with viscous dissipation effects employing a ...

Thermo-diffusion effects on MHD stagnation point flow towards a stretching sheet in a nanofluid

Propulsion and Power Research, 2014
Thermodiffusion effects on stagnation point flow of a nanofluid towards a stretching surface with applied magnetic field is presented. Similarity transforms are applied to reduce the equations that govern the flow to a system of nonlinear ordinary ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...
