Process‐Induced Anisotropy and Fracture Behavior of Pellet‐3D Printed PLA and PLA/Flax Biocomposites

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Fused Granular Fabrication of PLA and PLA/flax biocomposites, followed by tensile testing and fracture surface analysis to evaluate the effects of raster orientation and layer number on anisotropy and fracture behavior. ABSTRACT Fused granular fabrication (FGF) enables cost‐effective, large‐scale polymer additive manufacturing; however, the mechanical ...

Multi‐Platform Deployments of Low‐Cost Devices for Cetacean Passive Acoustic Monitoring

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Recent advances in affordable, user‐friendly devices offer new opportunities to overcome cost constraints of underwater passive acoustic monitoring (PAM) and expand acoustic data collection. In this study, we deployed low‐cost acoustic recorders and underwater cameras across a range of platforms in the Western Mediterranean, including fishing gear ...

Mapping Scytonemin Pigment Content and Biocrust Functional Indicators Using High‐Resolution Multispectral Imagery

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We demonstrate that high‐resolution multispectral imagery combined with machine learning can accurately predict key biocrust functional indicators, particularly the UV‐protective pigment scytonemin, across dryland ecosystems. Using fine‐scale imagery acquired in the Chihuahuan Desert and Colorado Plateau, we identified spectral bands strongly ...

1-Methyltryptophan Modifies Apoplast Content in Tomato Plants Improving Resistance Against Pseudomonas syringae

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Plants can produce numerous natural products, many of which have been shown to confer protection against microbial attack. In this way, we identified 1-methyltryptophan (1-MT), a natural compound produced by tomato plants in response to Pseudomonas ...

Modification of the Madeira River morphology following large hydropower projects detected by satellite data

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract Estimating suspended sediment concentration (SSC) in river channels is essential for understanding hydro‐sedimentological processes, managing water quality, and conserving aquatic ecosystems. This study evaluated different empirical equations to estimate SSC in the lower Madeira River and analyzed its hydro‐sedimentary dynamics based on MODIS ...

Herbivore and mesocarnivore carcasses trigger divergent short‐term changes in soil properties

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Scavengers reshape nutrient cycles in soils under carrion. Compared to herbivore carcasses, smaller but longer‐lasting carnivore remains boost nutrient levels and microbial activity in dry soils. Abstract Animal corpses act as pulses of organic matter (OM) and serve a key zoogeochemical role by providing localized nutrient inputs to soils and thereby ...

The Edification of Manuela Xiqués: Slavery, Finance, Biography, and the Construction of Modern Barcelona

open access: yesGender &History, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An analysis of the dual biographies, economic and domestic, of Manuela Xiqués, an enslaver from nineteenth‐century Cuba and Spain, deepens our understanding of the role of European and Creole women in the nineteenth‐century Atlantic. This essay foregrounds the role of literature, namely family biography, as a locus of the processes of ...
