Effects of defoliation by the pine processionary moth Thaumetopoea pityocampa on biomass growth of young stands of Pinus pinaster in northern Portugal

iForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2010
Biomass growth models for 13-year-old maritime pine tree stands (Pinus pinaster Ait.) in the north-eastern Portugal were developed and used to analyse the effects of the defoliation by the pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Den. & Schiff.)

‘Reinventing’ the Beach? Lessons from a Local Development Plan in the French Riviera

The Political Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Coastal squeeze is now so tangible both globally and locally that the focus of scientific debate has expanded from the erosion of beaches to the risk of their disappearance. In this context, it is crucial to explore local development plans that aim to preserve the long‐term existence of a beach.

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Genomic selection in maritime pine

, 2023
A breeding program for maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.) was implemented in the 1960s. The aim of this program is to develop improved varieties in terms of growth, straightness and adaptation to the environment. Genetic values of trees are classically estimated on the basis of phenotypic performance and pedigree data.The genetic improvement in animal

Conceptualizing moral migration: how disillusionment and the transnational right motivate migration to Russia Conceptualiser la migration morale : comment les désillusions et la droite transnationale motivent l’émigration vers la Russie

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Russia is consistently a top migration destination. While most migrate to Russia from other post‐Soviet countries, a small but highly visible group of the Russian‐speaking diaspora has returned from Europe and North America. Lauded in Russian media as ‘ideological migrants’, their narratives at first glance echo those of the state as they claim to flee

Comparative Molecular Insights into Developmental and Behavioral Toxicity Induced by Octocrylene and Ethylhexyl Salicylate Exposure on Zebrafish

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
This study compared the ecological toxicity of organic ultraviolet filters, octocrylene (OC) and ethylhexyl salicylate (EHS), on zebrafish embryos and larvae. EHS exhibited higher acute toxicity, causing increased mortality, hypoactive behavior at 50 mg/L, and disruptions in lipid homeostasis, while OC primarily affected hypoxia response and ...

Consistent Choice of Prey Source Habitat Across Diverse Landscapes by a Selective Insectivorous Bat

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
After analyzing the diet of the greater horseshoe bats in three distinct colonies, we identified significant spatial and temporal differences, particularly noting a stronger reliance on riparian habitats in Mediterranean areas. The species exhibits great ecological adaptability with strong plasticity in prey source habitats, shifting preferences among ...

Harnessing edge computing and citizen science: A new prototype design for continental‐scale acoustic monitoring in Australia and beyond

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Inadequate monitoring of biodiversity is a characteristic of conservation the world over. The potential of acoustic monitoring is compelling, although the challenges remain substantial. Effective solutions require transdisciplinary collaboration among stakeholders, a focus on open‐source development, and flexible, multipronged technical ...
