Generalized curvature-matter couplings in modified gravity

open access: yes, 2014
In this work, we review a plethora of modified theories of gravity with generalized curvature-matter couplings. The explicit nonminimal couplings, for instance, between an arbitrary function of the scalar curvature $R$ and the Lagrangian density of ...

Matter density perturbations in modified gravity models with arbitrary coupling between matter and geometry [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We consider theories with an arbitrary coupling between matter and gravity and obtain the perturbation equation of matter on subhorizon scales. Also, we derive the effective gravitational constant $G_{eff}$ and two parameters $\Sigma$ and $\eta$, which ...

An Ecological Modelling Approach to Support Peru Wildlife Conservation Planning Based on Geospatial Datasets and Remote Sensing Information

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Peru, a megadiverse country, has developed conservation plans for some threatened wildlife species. This study produced spatially explicit data integrating Species Distribution Models (SDMs) into a geospatial analysis of connectivity within the protected areas (PAs) network.

Energy Conditions in $f(R,T,R_{\mu\nu}T^{\mu\nu})$ Gravity

open access: yes, 2013
We discuss the validity of the energy conditions in a newly modified theory named as $f(R,T,R_{\mu\nu}T^{\mu\nu})$ gravity, where $R$ and $T$ represent the scalar curvature and trace of the energy-momentum tensor.

Revealing patterns of endemism in the transatlantic family Chelodesmidae (Polydesmida: Diplopoda)

open access: yesCladistics, Volume 42, Issue 2, Page 159-171, April 2026.
Abstract With fossil records dating back to the Silurian/Late Ordovician, millipedes stand out as one of the earliest terrestrial animal groups. Their limited vagility and high endemism make them valuable tools for formulating and testing biogeographic hypotheses, including those related to macro‐vicariance events.

The Biogeography of ENSO‐Induced Climate Variability, Deforestation Trends and Fire‐Induced Forest Loss in the Neotropics

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To identify Neotropical ecoregions experiencing compound environmental exposure to El Niño/La Niña‐driven climate variability, deforestation trends and fire‐induced forest loss. Location Neotropical realm. Methods We quantified historical exposure to ENSO‐related climate variability by correlating the Oceanic Niño Index with four ...

Recuperación del funcionamiento hidrológico de ecosistemas de páramo en Colombia

open access: yesRevista U.D.C.A Actualidad & Divulgación Científica, 2017
Los páramos son ecosistemas que se caracterizan por una alta humedad relativa, alta frecuencia de niebla y por tener una vegetación arbustiva y herbácea, adaptada a las condiciones de alta montaña. En condiciones naturales estos ecosistemas presentan una

Modified Gravity with a Non-minimal Gravitational Coupling to Matter

open access: yes, 2012
We consider modified theories of gravity with a direct coupling between matter and geometry, denoted by an arbitrary function in terms of the Ricci scalar.
