A Coarsening Algorithm on Adaptive Red-Green-Blue Refined Meshes [PDF]

Numerical Algorithms 2020, 2020
Adaptive meshing is a fundamental component of adaptive finite element methods. This includes refining and coarsening meshes locally. In this work, we are concerned with the red-green-blue refinement strategy in two dimensions and its counterpart - coarsening. In general, coarsening algorithms are mostly based on an explicitly given refinement history.

Conservation of terrestrial invertebrates: a review of IUCN and regional Red Lists for Myriapoda [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2020
Red Listing of Threatened species is recognized as the most objective approach for evaluating extinction risk of living organisms which can be applied at global or national scales. Invertebrates account for nearly 97% of all animals on the planet but are

Establishing IUCN Red List Criteria for Threatened Ecosystems [PDF]

Conservation Biology, 2010
The potential for conservation of individual species has been greatly advanced by the International Union for Conservation of Nature's (IUCN) development of objective, repeatable, and transparent criteria for assessing extinction risk that explicitly separate risk assessment from priority setting.

A transdisciplinary approach to define and assess wild food plant sustainable foraging in Norway

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 112-122, January 2023., 2023
Foraging wild food plants is sometimes perceived as a conservation threat or, alternatively, as an opportunity for sustainable development. Little is known of how foragers themselves define and ensure sustainable foraging. Here, we collaboratively assessed the activities and motivations of the forager community in Norway in order to achieve a combined ...

Terrestrial vertebrates as surrogates for selecting conservation areas in a biodiversity hotspot in Mexico

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView., 2019
Systematic conservation planning (SCP) identifies priority areas for biodiversity conservation using surrogates for adequate representation of biodiversity content. The use of multiple well‐known taxonomic groups rather than single ones as a surrogate set is expected to enable a better representation of most important biodiversity constituents in ...

An ecological and evolutionary perspective of the historical US nursery flora

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 146-159, January 2023., 2023
The plants sold in nurseries directly influence urban landscapes by providing habitat that supports humans and other organisms and indirectly influence the natural landscape by acting as a major source of invasive species. We analyzed the ornamental plants sold in US nurseries from 1719 to 1946 and found broad patterns of increasing diversity occurring

A high accuracy computed water line list [PDF]

Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc.368:1087-1094,2006, 2006
A computed list of H$_{2}$$^{16}$O infra-red transition frequencies and intensities is presented. The list, BT2, was produced using a discrete variable representation two-step approach for solving the rotation-vibration nuclear motions. It is the most complete water line list in existence, comprising over 500 million transitions (65% more than any ...
