SENSING THE LAND SUBSIDENCE IN THE VENICE LAGOON BY INTERFEROMETRIC POINT TARGET ANALYSIS

, 2008
Land subsidence is a severe geologic hazard threading the lowlying coastal areas worldwide. Monitoring land subsidence has been significantly improved over the last few years by space borne earth observation techniques based on SAR (Synthetic Aperture ...

Nonhuman Mobilities and Multispecies Border Regimes in (Post‐)Colonial Southern Africa**

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
This article explores how borders in Southern Africa—such as Namibia's internal veterinary and settler border (Red Line) and national borders between Namibia, South Africa, and Botswana—functioned not only as territorial dividers but as tools to shape colonial and postcolonial multispecies hierarchies. These borders regulated human and animal movement,

Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

Knowledge gaps and research directions in migration ecology for advancing the conservation of migratory songbirds

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...
