Lava flow hazard at Fogo Volcano, Cabo Verde, before and after the 2014–2015 eruption [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Lava flow simulations help to better understand volcanic hazards and may assist emergency preparedness at active volcanoes. We demonstrate that at Fogo Volcano, Cabo Verde, such simulations can explain the 2014–2015 lava flow crisis and therefore ...

Martian Lava Tube Exploration Using Jumping Legged Robots: A Concept Study [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 In recent years, robotic exploration has become increasingly important in planetary exploration. One area of particular interest for exploration is Martian lava tubes, which have several distinct features of interest. First, it is theorized that they contain more easily accessible resources such as water ice, needed for in-situ utilization on Mars ...

Are plant communities on the Canary Islands resistant to plant invasion?
Diversity and Distributions, Volume 29, Issue 1, Page 51-60, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Oceanic islands are renowned for their unique flora and high levels of endemism. Native island plants, however, are imperilled by non‐native species that can become invasive by outcompeting natives. The threat of native island assemblages generally increases with isolation and the number of endemics featured, but also with human‐associated ...

True Polar Wander of Lava Worlds [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 As one of the most detectable types of terrestrial planets, lava worlds are highly prioritized targets for exoplanet atmosphere characterization since their atmospheres may reveal what they are made of and how. Our work examines the possibility of true polar wander (TPW) occurring on these ultra-hot tidally-locked planets, powered by mass ...

Digest: Evolution of plasticity and its potential role in the decline of specialists
Evolution, Volume 76, Issue 12, Page 3067-3070, December 2022., 2022 Abstract How does plasticity evolve over relatively short timescales? Through a series of common garden and reciprocal transplant experiments, Walter et al. found distinct patterns of variation in the phenotype and gene expression for two closely related Sicilian daisy species of the genus Senecio across an elevational gradient.

Ibis, Volume 165, Issue 1, Page 190-203, January 2023., 2023 Several factors may drive bird nest‐site selection, including predation risk, resource availability, weather conditions and interaction with other individuals. Understanding the drivers affecting where birds nest is important for conservation planning, especially where environmental change may alter the distribution of suitable nest‐sites.
