Four novel taxa of cyanobacteria from a unique thermal cave habitat in Vromoner Canyon, Albania
Abstract Thermal and cave habitats on nearly all continents have been a substantial source of new cyanobacterial genotypes and morphotypes that expanded with the dawn of the era of molecular phylogenetics. In this study, we investigated the cyanobacterial flora of an extreme habitat of recently discovered caves with sulfur‐rich thermal springs, using ...

In memory of Prof. Dr. Karl Mais (1940-2012)
Our friend, colleague, supervisor, chairman... our Charlie, who came back from the underground so many times, entered it the last time, without return. On January 25, 2012 the Earth opened for him, as would say the old Romans: “Mundus subterraneus patet”.

Drift Reduction in Terrestrial Laser Scanning via Linear Dual Quaternion Interpolation
This work introduces a terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) point cloud registration pipeline combining optimized fast global registration (keypoint extraction + fine‐tuning) and multiscale GICP refinement. A closed‐loop global model employs dual quaternion linear interpolation to correct trajectory drift, enhancing 3D reconstruction accuracy in TLS ...

Genetic turnovers and northern survival during the last glacial maximum in European brown bears
The current phylogeographic pattern of European brown bears (Ursus arctos) has commonly been explained by postglacial recolonization out of geographically distinct refugia in southern Europe, a pattern well in accordance with the expansion/contraction ...

Parthenogenetic vs. sexual reproduction in oribatid mite communities
The dominance of sex in Metazoa is enigmatic. Sexual species allocate resources to the production of males, while potentially facing negative effects such as the loss of well‐adapted genotypes due to recombination, and exposure to diseases and predators ...

Distribution survey of Cyanobacteria in three Greek caves of Peloponnese [PDF]
Caves and hypogean environments host various phototrophic microorganisms, with Cyanobacteria constituting the major group. The spatial and temporal distribution of Cyanobacteria (156 taxa in total) from three Greek caves, located in the limestone arc of ...

Dendritic subglacial drainage systems in cold glaciers formed by cut-and-closure processes [PDF]
The routing and storage of meltwater and the configuration of drainage systems in glaciers exert a profound influence on glacier behaviour. However, little is known about the hydrological systems of cold glaciers, which form a significant proportion of ...
