Land birds on atolls: diversity, origin, and function
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Oceanic islands are global hotspots of avian biodiversity and endemism. Their isolation and distinct environmental conditions have uniquely shaped the evolutionary trajectories of island birds, while, in turn, land bird communities have become critical providers of ecological functions to island ecosystems.

International Soil and Water Conservation ResearchSaltwater intrusion along rivers is a complex process controlled by multiple factors and thus fluctuates with a highly nonlinear nature and time-varying characteristics. It is challenging to monitor saltwater intrusion. The objective of this study was to

Subperiosteal circumferential connective tissue graft for vertical implant soft tissue augmentation
Clinical Advances in Periodontics, EarlyView.Abstract Background Vertical implant soft tissue augmentation is indicated to optimize esthetic outcomes in cases of peri‐implant soft tissue deficiency or dehiscence, particularly when the peri‐implant mucosa is exposed during a full smile. This manuscript describes the use of a subperiosteal circumferential connective tissue graft (SC CTG) for ...
