The FORGENIUS Genomic Resources: New Genotyping Tools and Genomic Data for 23 Forest Tree Species and Their Genetic Conservation Units. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Genetic diversity is a critical but often overlooked component of biological diversity. The European H2020 FORGENIUS project is aimed at increasing the quality and quantity of genetic data to start monitoring the European network of forest Genetic Conservation Units (GCUs).

Effective Population Size Estimation in Large Marine Populations: Considering Current Challenges and Opportunities When Simulating Large Data Sets With High-Density Genomic Information. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Next‐generation‐sequencing has broadened perspectives regarding the estimation of the effective population size (Ne) by providing high‐density genomic information. These technologies have expanded data collection and analytical tools in population genetics, increasing understanding of populations with high abundance, such as marine species ...

Indigenous biocultural rights and the Blue Mountains: Local and international policy challenges
Abstract Indigenous knowledges play a critical role in addressing the environmental crisis, and the United Nations system has adopted a suite of international treaties to protect and strengthen Indigenous peoples’ rights, which are often described as biocultural rights.

Developing Discharge Coefficient Formula for Different Piano Key Weir Characteristics [PDF]
This study mainly aims to investigate and quantify the influence of piano key weir (PKW) characteristics on its discharge coefficient. Accordingly, based on dimensional analysis, seventy-two experimental runs were carried out using sixteen PKW physical ...

Abstract Global changes and local pressures related to the exploitation of water resources are significantly reducing streams' biodiversity and threatening their ecological balance. This trend concerns both the lowland rivers flowing in densely populated areas and the mountain headwaters, where the effects of global change are dramatically evident and ...

Climate change is increasing dryness in southwestern Australia, causing permanent streams to switch to intermittent flows. Aquatic macroinvertebrates showed seven general responses to drying (i.e., 1980s vs. 2016/17), including localised extinction, persisted but became less common, or became more common.

RESCUE: A geomorphology‐based, hydrologic‐hydraulic model for large‐scale inundation mapping
Abstract Flood mapping is a key stage for detecting vulnerable areas, assessing floods impacts, identifying damages, and mitigation plans. Despite of the available guidelines for flood mapping following EU Floods Directive, coherent and comprehensive official flood hazard maps at the national scale are still missing, at least in the EU.

Geography and film music: Musicology, gender, and the spatiality of instrumental music
Musical geographies have previously focused on spatial meaning in lyrics. This paper sets out a research agenda for examining spatial meaning in instrumental music. To do so, it offers an extended case study of film music by the American composer James Horner (1953–2015). Film and music are key concerns in human geography.

Experimental comparison of discharge coefficient of A-type piano key and labyrinth side weirs with different heights [PDF]
Hydraulic structures have a long history, with weirs being among the earliest developed; a notable example of these is the side weir. Side weirs are of different shapes, including a nonlinear weir installed on the dam crest.

Energy Dissipation of Type a Piano Key Weirs [PDF]
A Piano Key weir (PK weir) is a nonlinear, labyrinth-type weir well suited for rehabilitation projects due to a relatively small footprint and the ability to pass large discharges for lesser upstream-head values when compared with other weir types. A critical component of a hydraulic structure is the energy-dissipative properties.
