The concept of a lithosphere

Geofísica Internacional, 1973
La actual tendencia de definir la litósfera como una región de propiedades elásticas características, puede distorsionar un importante aspecto cualitativo de los procesos tectónicos en un planeta. Si se admite a escala de laboratorio que un mismo material puede comportarse casi clásticamente (como un sólido) o casi viscosamente (como un líquido) según ...

Diversity and assembly of the microbiome of a leguminous plant along an urbanization gradient

Oikos, EarlyView.
Interactions between plants and bacterial communities are essential for host physiology and broader ecosystem functioning, but plant–microbiome interactions can be disrupted by environmental change like urbanization. Here, we evaluated how urbanization affected the diversity and assembly of soil and white clover Trifolium repens microbiome communities.

Building synergies among ground‐based forest inventorying and monitoring networks to meet scientific, political and societal needs

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Ground‐based Inventorying and Monitoring programs are crucial for documenting long‐term forest responses to global change pressures, though there is limited coordination among them. We call for building synergies between different Inventorying and Monitoring programs, as well as community science and stakeholder engagement, to expand the temporal and ...

The urgency of genetic decline in New Brunswick butternut, Juglans cinerea L.

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Butternut is yet another North American tree species undergoing rapid mortality due to the globalization of forest pathogens. Pairing tree health surveys and genetic diversity metrics, we captured a 7‐year snapshot of butternut's path to extirpation from its distinct range in New Brunswick, Canada.

Population structure of the endangered Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans revealed by genomic and mitochondrial data

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
The Siberian flying squirrel Pteromys volans is an arboreal rodent with a distribution range that covers large parts of the Eurasian taiga forest zone. However, extensive forestry has resulted in widespread local population declines and extinctions in recent decades.

The performance of growing degree day models to predict spring phenology of herbaceous species depends on the species' temporal niche

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract The concept of growing degree days (GDDs) is commonly used to predict phenological events in plants, assuming that plants develop proportionally to the accumulated temperature. Two species‐specific parameters, TBase and t0 (minimum temperature above which and start date

The 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake, low fault friction, and the crustal support of plate driving forces in India [PDF]

, 2011
We present a source model for the 2001 M_w 7.6 Bhuj earthquake of northwest India. The slip distribution suggests a high stress drop (~35 MPa) and, together with the depth distribution of aftershocks, that the entire crust is seismogenic. We suggest that

Rheological control of Wadati-Benioff zone seismicity [PDF]

, 1988
Intermediate and deep focus earthquakes in Wadati-Benioff zones are thought to occur in the cold interiors of downgoing slabs which are significantly stronger than the warmer mantle.

Climate and Socio‐Sexual Environment Predict Interpopulation Variation in Chemical Signaling Glands in a Widespread Lizard

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Elastic properties of silicate melts: Implications for low velocity zones at the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary. [PDF]

, 2017
Low seismic velocity regions in the mantle and crust are commonly attributed to the presence of silicate melts. Determining melt volume and geometric distribution is fundamental to understanding planetary dynamics.
