Carrion ecology: concepts, interdisciplinary synthesis, and perspectives

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Carrion is a ubiquitous resource in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, yet it has long been overlooked in ecological research. Over the past two decades, studies on carrion and the many organisms that exploit it have flourished, revealing not only wide‐ranging ecological functions but also significance far beyond ecology.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

CFD prediction of coupled radiation heat transfer and soot production in turbulent flames [PDF]

, 1996
The mechanisms governing the formation and destruction of soot in turbulent combustion are intimately coupled to thermal radiation due to the strong dependence of sooting processes and radiative loss on temperature.

Beyond the Reports: Cultural Pressures, Unheard Voices and the Climate Accountability Gap in Oil and Gas Sector Governance

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental governance in Nigeria's oil and gas sector remains central to global climate justice debates, yet persistent accountability failures continue to undermine meaningful environmental and social outcomes. Despite extensive regulatory frameworks, accountability in resource‐dependent contexts is frequently reduced to formal reporting ...

Presence of Emissary Veins in the Glabellar Region in Metopic Craniosynostosis

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Emissary veins connect intra‐ and extracranial venous circulation by bridging the dural venous sinuses to the external veins of the skull. Their variable presence and location may have important implications in perioperative blood loss. Clinical observations and previous studies suggest that emissary veins are more frequently present in the ...
