The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Numerical Approaches for the Analysis of Glass Facades Under Seismic Loads
Earthquake Engineering and Resilience, EarlyView.Glass facades have gained more popularity due to their highly impacting esthetic and sustainable applications. However, their constitutive glass components are rather vulnerable and need proper analysis strategies to design them in efficient structural terms, especially against extreme loads, such as earthquakes.
