1173. Ipomoea pandurata (L.) G. Mey

Curtis's Botanical Magazine, EarlyView.
Summary Ipomoea pandurata is a Morning Glory from North America which develops a large storage root. There is much uncertainty about its discovery before its formal description in the middle of the 18th century. Originally described as a Convolvulus, almost a hundred years passed before its recognition as a species of Ipomoea.

Wood Thrush (Hylocichla mustelina) occupancy patterns reveal sensitivity to low precipitation on nonbreeding grounds in northern Costa Rica

Ibis, EarlyView.
Climatic change and anthropogenic disturbances are reshaping animal populations. Habitat loss and extreme climatic events are particularly strong drivers of declines in species that depend on forested areas. For migratory songbirds, climate and the persistence of suitable habitat over time are fundamental to sustaining populations annually.

Fire‐driven forest degradation enhances termite activity and accelerates litter decomposition in the Amazonia rainforest

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Forest degradation increased termite‐mediated litter decomposition, whereas no such effect was detected in undisturbed forests. Reduced ant predation and altered forest conditions were associated with higher termite abundance and faster litter decomposition.

Park‐and‐multi‐loop with autonomous delivery robots in last‐mile logistics

International Transactions in Operational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper deals with the park‐and‐multi‐loop routing problem, in the context of last‐mile logistics, in which a fleet of traditional vehicles equipped with several autonomous delivery robots leaves from a depot to service a set of customer requests.
