Revisiting k: Time‐varying stream litter breakdown rates

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, EarlyView.
Abstract Litter decomposition is usually modeled with the negative exponential model, which assumes constant proportional mass loss. We assessed this assumption and its interpretive consequences using 145 stream litter mass loss time series and process‐based simulations.

Offshore Weathering Campaign on a North Sea Wind Farm Part One: Corrosivity Categories

Materials and Corrosion, EarlyView.
To optimize the corrosion protection conditions, the corrosiveness of offshore wind turbines must be determined in several necessary areas of the structure. Therefore detailed investigations were done at real structures. ABSTRACT The aim of this study is to investigate the corrosion behavior of materials and coatings in offshore environments, with a ...

Physical drivers of the summer 2019 North Pacific marine heatwave. [PDF]

, 2020
Summer 2019 observations show a rapid resurgence of the Blob-like warm sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies that produced devastating marine impacts in the Northeast Pacific during winter 2013/2014.

Estimates of Solutions for Integro‐Differential Equations in Epidemiological Modeling

Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Integro‐differential equations (IDE) have been applied in a variety of areas of research, including epidemiology. Recently, IDE systems were applied to study dengue fever transmission dynamics at the population level. In this study, we extend the approach presented in a previous study for describing the epidemiological model of dengue fever ...

New species and new records in Agarista (Ericaceae) from the Peruvian Andes

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Agarista (Ericaceae) is currently represented in Peru by three species. Here, we update this number to five, adding new taxa based on the recognition of a taxonomic novelty and new records. The new species Agarista eugeniifolia differs from all congeneric species by an abaxially sulcate midvein.

Scoring systems for prediction of malaria and dengue fever in non-endemic areas among travellers arriving from tropical and subtropical areas

Emergency Medicine Journal
BackgroundFever is a common symptom among travellers returning from tropical/subtropical areas to Europe, and promptly distinguishing severe illnesses from self-limiting febrile syndromes is important but can be challenging due to non-specific clinical presentation.MethodsA cross-sectional study enrolled adults and children who sought care during 2015 ...

Occurrence and integrated control of major rice diseases in China

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Rice is constantly under threat from a variety of pathogens. This review highlights the major diseases affecting rice in China, including three fungal diseases, two bacterial diseases, two viral diseases, and one nematode. The review also proposes future directions for an integrated approach to control these significant rice diseases.

Inferring community assembly processes from mangrove species–area relationships

Oikos, EarlyView.
The increasing species–area relationship (SAR) is a nearly universal ecological law. But recent theory has predicted that in systems with low large‐scale diversity the law should be violated and the SAR should be nearly flat at intermediate scales, with species richness roughly constant at some value typically greater than one.

Tall stature and small leaves: ecological strategies that enhance tree growth across the subtropical Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Oikos, EarlyView.
Ecological strategies reflect the mechanisms used for species to sustain a population. Predicting plant growth in ecological communities is crucial, especially with climate change impacting ecosystem functioning. By employing a large dataset for the subtropical Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), we evaluated whether species' relative growth rates (RGR ...

Urban wild meat and pangolin consumption across southern forested Cameroon: The limited influence of COVID‐19

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Overexploitation of wildlife is pervasive in many tropical regions, and in addition to being a significant conservation and sustainability concern, it has received global attention given discussions over the origins of zoonotic disease outbreaks.
