neonSoilFlux: An R package for continuous sensor‐based estimation of soil CO2 fluxes

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate quantification of soil carbon fluxes is essential to reduce uncertainty in estimates of the terrestrial carbon sink. However, these fluxes vary over time and across ecosystem types and so, it can be difficult to estimate them accurately across large scales.

Oxygen consumption from air and water, ammonia and urea‐N excretion, and Na+ fluxes during progressive aquatic hypoxia in Amazonian armoured catfish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps and Pterygoplichthys pardalis

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Amazonian loricariid fish Pterygoplichthys gibbiceps, from the Rio Negro, and Pterygoplichthys pardalis, from the Rio Solimões, are facultative air‐breathers that can use the stomach as an air‐breathing organ. Measurement of oxygen uptake under progressive aquatic hypoxia revealed a relatively high hypoxia resistance of both species.

Two adequacy conditions on a minimalist account of truth dependence

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract According to Aristotle's Categories (14b14–22), the proposition that p is true because p, but it is not the case that p because the proposition that p is true. Call this truth dependence. Truth dependence is challenging for Horwich's minimalism.

Sinkhole clusters after heavy rainstorms

Journal of Cave and Karst Studies, 2018
Sinkholes are the most common geological hazard in karst terrains. Generally triggered by rainstorms or by changes in the hydrological/hydrogeological regime, they display a wide range of morphologies and sizes. Typically, the main difficulty in evaluating the sinkhole hazard is represented by the collection of reliable data about time of occurrence of
