The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

From Centrality to Sustainability: How Connected Boards Shape Waste Management Outcomes
ABSTRACT The escalating climate crisis has elevated waste management from an operational concern to a critical issue of corporate governance. However, the role of board connectedness in shaping firms' waste practices remains largely unexplored. Drawing on resource dependency and social capital theories, this study examines how board network centrality ...

GIScience Theory Based Assessment of Spatial Disparity of Geodetic Control Points Location
Geodetic networks provide a spatial reference framework for the positioning of any geographical feature in a common and consistent way. An even spatial distribution of geodetic control points assures good quality for subordinate surveys in mapping ...

Measurements on the Absolute 2-D and 3-D Localization Accuracy of TerraSAR-X
The German TerraSAR-X radar satellites TSX-1 and TDX-1 are well-regarded for their unprecedented geolocation accuracy. However, to access their full potential, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)-based location measurements have to be carefully corrected for ...

Understanding aromaticity has evolved from benzene‐centric concepts to a broad multidimensional framework spanning organic, inorganic, and excited‐state systems. This review highlights ambiguities between magnetic, electronic, geometric, and energetic descriptors, emphasizing the need for unified, multi‐criteria approaches.

ABSTRACT The intensification of physical climate risk presents a critical question for global sustainability governance: does exposure to climate hazards strengthen or weaken a country's environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance? This study investigates the relationship between climate vulnerability and country‐level ESG performance across

Fault slip can occur ahead of the injection pressure front due to poroelastic stress. Our model captures the interaction of pressure, stress, and friction, providing new insights into injection‐induced seismicity and post‐injection fault slip. Shut‐in operations can either mitigate or accelerate seismic events depending on fault conditions and ...

Geodetic accuracies obtainable from measurements of first and second order gravitational gradients [PDF]
The accuracy of an airborne accelerometer-gradiometer system is studied for geodetic applications. A detailed analysis of interpolation, downward continuation and mean value determination is given using the method of least-squares collocation.
