Review of SAR imaging geodesy for glacier velocity monitoring

Geodesy and Geodynamics
The surface velocity is one of the most important characteristics of glaciers. Monitoring and mapping glacier movements are of great significance for the studies of sea-level rise, glacier mass balance and dynamics, global warming, and the management of ...

Nacre‐inspired layered composite with excellent mechanical support and osteogenic potential for cervical interbody cage

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The cervical interbody cage needs to take both biomechanical and biological requirements into account. Here, a new‐style degradable, multicomponent, and bioinspired nacre‐like cervical interbody cage composite, which exhibits promising mechanical‐support‐related behavior and osteogenesis‐related potential, is designed and prepared.

DL4GAM: A Multi‐Modal Deep Learning‐Based Framework for Glacier Area Monitoring, Trained and Validated on the European Alps

Earth and Space Science
Glaciers play a critical role in our society, impacting everything from sea‐level rise and access to clean water to the tourism industry. Their accelerated melt represents a key indicator of the changing climate, highlighting the need for efficient ...

Re‐Emergence of Eurasian Otter (Lutra Lutra) in the Valley of Kashmir, India: A Conservation Triumph and a Challenge

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Strategies for otter rewilding and conservation in the Kashmir Valley must include protecting and improving otter habitats, Education and awareness to get over harms of myths and strict law enforcement to prevent hunting. ABSTRACT Kashmir Valley is a unique landscape nestled in the northwest Himalaya.

Glaciology and geomorphology of the Muchuhar-Shishper glacier complex (Hunza Basin, Western Karakoram)

Journal of Maps
The Karakoram Range is a highly dynamic glacierized region where the life of millions of people depends on meltwater from glaciers. This region is also a cluster for glacier related hazards, such Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs).

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 ...

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.
