Remoteness promotes biological invasions on islands worldwide
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2018 Significance Islands are hotspots of alien species invasions, and their distinct biodiversity is particularly vulnerable to invading species. While isolation has shaped natural colonization of islands for millions of years, globalization in trade and ...

Adsorbate-induced Restructuring of Pb mesas Grown on Vicinal Si(111) in the Quantum Regime [PDF]
, 2009 Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy, we demonstrate that the adsorption of a minute amount of Cs on a Pb mesa grown in the quantum regime can induce dramatic morphological changes of the mesa, characterized by the appearance of populous ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Pre‐analytical handling critically determines liquid biopsy performance. This study defines practical best‐practice conditions for cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and extracellular vesicle–derived DNA (evDNA), showing how processing time, storage conditions, tube type, and plasma input volume affect DNA integrity and mutation detection.

Present and Future of the White‐Tailed Laurel Pigeon (Columba junoniae) on Gran Canaria Island
Ecology and EvolutionDue to their evolutionary history and restricted distribution islands species are particularly vulnerable to human impacts and extinction. Consequently, many islands' species have been extirpated, causing complete or local extinctions.

Automating nested watershed delineation over the world considering endorheic basins and islands
International Journal of Digital EarthGlobal-scale nested watershed datasets are foundational for hydrological studies. However, their construction is not yet fully automated, making the process labor-intensive and time-consuming, primarily due to the lack of algorithms capable of encoding ...

Animals, 2022 One of the most successful predators on island ecosystems is the domestic cat, which is considered responsible for the decline of numerous species’ populations. This can be estimated by the analysis of cats’ dietary habits, yet prey identification is not

Island Transport Challenges: Four Island Jurisdictions; Seven Island Perspectives
Island Studies JournalIsland transport systems are as unique as the islands themselves, shaped by geography, politics, and community needs. Transport development raises key questions: does increased connectivity enhance or diminish islandness? Can large-scale projects balance economic goals with environmental sustainability and community needs?

Globally threatened vertebrates on islands with invasive species
Science Advances, 2017 We identify the invasive species and biogeographic patterns on islands with 1189 highly threatened vertebrates. Global biodiversity loss is disproportionately rapid on islands, where invasive species are a major driver of extinctions.
