The extension of the taxon cycle model to island plants: insights from the Canarian vascular flora

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Taxon cycle models describe eco‐evolutionary patterns of lineage colonization, diversification, and decline across archipelagos, inferring an important role for competition amongst ecologically similar taxa in driving concurrent niche changes.

A Framework to Identify Rock Glaciers and Model Mountain Permafrost in the Jhelum Basin, Kashmir Himalaya, India

Earth and Space Science
Deglaciation has led to the transformation of glaciers into rock glaciers in various mountainous regions worldwide. However, the science of permafrost and rock glaciers remains under‐researched in the Himalayan region.

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Monitoring recent (2018–2023) glacier and rock glacier changes in Central Patagonia using high-resolution Pléiades and ALOS PRISM satellite data

Frontiers in Earth Science
Glaciers and rock glaciers are essential components of the cryosphere in the Andes of Argentina and Chile, serving as significant freshwater reservoirs and playing a crucial hydrological role as the region experiences warming and drying trends.

Synthesis and characterization of a highly hydrophilic nanocomposite for wettability alteration, water/oil interfacial tension reduction, and enhanced oil recovery

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Mechanism of wettability alteration, interfacial tension reduction, and oil recovery by novel nanocomposite. Abstract The development of stable nanofluids (NFs) for enhanced oil recovery (EOR) relies on optimizing interactions between reservoir rocks and fluids.
