Fossils of an endangered, endemic, giant dipterocarp species open a historical portal into Borneo's vanishing rainforests

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Asia's wet tropical forests face a severe biodiversity crisis, but few fossils record their evolutionary history. We recently discovered in situ cuticles on fossil leaves, attributed to the giant rainforest tree Dryobalanops of the iconic Dipterocarpaceae family, from the Plio‐Pleistocene of Brunei Darussalam (northern Borneo ...

Line lists for the A2PI-X2Sigma+ (red) and {B2Sigma+-X2Sigma} (violet) Systems of CN, 13C14N, and 12C15N, and Application to Astronomical Spectra [PDF]

, 2014
New red and violet system line lists for the CN isotopologues 13C14N and 12C15N have been generated. These new transition data are combined with those previously derived for 12C14N, and applied to the determination of CNO abundances in the solar photosphere and in four red giant stars: Arcturus, the bright very low-metallicity star HD 122563, and ...

ESG Disclosure and Access to Credit: A Configurational Analysis of European Listed Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how various ESG disclosure configurations affect credit access for European firms listed on the STOXX Europe 600 Index during 2021–2022. Employing fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis and ESG disclosures standardised under the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), the findings demonstrate that disclosure patterns ...

Before‐after‐control‐impact field experiment shows anti‐predator netting enhances occupancy of the threatened Hungarian meadow viper (Vipera ursinii rakosiensis)

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView., 2023
The Hungarian meadow viper is an endangered grassland‐dwelling species, which faces high predation pressure, partially due to avian species that forage in its habitat. Predation pressure by avian predators is caused not only by abundant game species (e.g. hooded crow, Corvus cornix) but also by protected and threatened species (e.g.

Epidemiological landscape of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis and its impact on amphibian diversity at global scale

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView., 2023
Chytridiomycosis, caused by the fungal pathogen Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), is a major driver of amphibian decline worldwide. The global presence of Bd is driven by a synergy of factors, such as climate, species life history, and amphibian host susceptibility.
