Spatial and temporal analysis of vegetation dynamics on desertification hotspots of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil

Seasonally dry tropical forests (SDTFs) have a distinctive seasonality. The Brazilian Caatinga, the largest SDTF in South America, faces three main types of disturbance: abrupt change, chronic disturbance, and species invasion. Furthermore, droughts and rainfall seasonality have made Caatinga at risk of desertification.

Scope 3 Carbon Emissions Assessment for Manufacturing SMEs

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the challenges facing managers of Small‐ and Medium‐Size Enterprises (SMEs) when conducting environmental sustainability assessment at the value chain level, particularly Scope 3 Greenhouse Gases (GHG) emissions. The paper investigates issues related to data availability and data quality for Scope 3 assessment and ...

Differential sensitivity to SHH signaling and neural crest‐mediated Gas1 expression regulate jaw size during development and evolution

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Developmental control of jaw size is crucial to prevent birth defects and facilitate evolutionary adaptation. We have shown that jaw size is established by neural crest mesenchyme (NCM), which are progenitor cells that migrate into the mandibular primordia and produce the jaws.

Climatic niche divergence and high‐elevation adaptation promoted rapid diversification of Pimoa spiders in Pan‐Himalaya

Ecography, EarlyView.
The Pan‐Himalayan region harbors exceptional biodiversity, yet the origins and underlying mechanisms driving this remarkable diversity remain poorly understood, especially among species‐rich invertebrates. Pimoa spiders exhibit an intercontinental disjunct distribution across three major mountain regions: the Rockies, the Alps, and the Pan‐Himalaya ...

Dietary partitioning mediates species coexistence in the high seas area of northwest Pacific

Ecography, EarlyView.
Niche partitioning, manifesting along various axes of the ecological niche, is a fundamental mechanism mediating species coexistence in a system. However, the emergence of many species in marine ecosystems would face considerable constraints in achieving coexistence through spatiotemporal differentiation mechanisms under the framework of niche ...

Climate‐driven resource availability drives medium‐ and broad‐scale temporal changes in owl–prey interactions over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem

Ecography, EarlyView.
Predator–prey interactions are vital to ecosystem functioning but may be disrupted by climate change. We investigated a food‐web network involving three owl species over 24 years in a semi‐arid ecosystem at Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Chile.

Global threats, local opportunities: ice‐related landforms provide refugia for high‐elevation plants and arthropods

Ecography, EarlyView.
Ice‐related landforms in mountain areas have been hypothesized to play a key role in the survival of cold‐adapted species threatened by climate change. However, our understanding of such landforms acting as refugia remains speculative. Here we analyse occurrence data, collected through a standardized sampling at 471 sampling points across the European ...

Finite Element Analysis for Li Batteries at the Mesoscale

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Finite element analysis (FEA), through multi‐physics coupling, has been widely employed to calculate mesoscale structures in LIBs that exhibit inherent randomness and disorder (Figure a). It has been extensively applied to the investigation of critical phenomena such as Li dendrite evolution, Li+ concentration gradients, SEI film growth, particle ...

Research Progress of Three‐Terminal Perovskite/Silicon Tandem Solar Cells Based on Back‐Contact Silicon

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Perovskite/silicon tandem solar cells offer efficiencies beyond 30%, yet conventional architectures face trade‐offs between optical performance and current matching. Three‐terminal tandems employing silicon back‐contact bottom cells eliminate the current‐matching constraint while minimizing optical losses, offering superior energy yield under real ...
