Male production in green sea turtles under a feminizing climate: A validated model of sex ratios with temperature‐dependent sex determination

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
This study introduces validated methods to predict sex ratios in wild Green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) nests. It quantifies beach‐scale temperature heterogeneity, incorporates clutch‐level variation in thermal sensitivity and models temperature effects across the thermosensitive period, demonstrating how temporal temperature dynamics and spatial ...

Assessing spatio-temporal patterns of groundwater salinity in small coral islands in the Western Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2011
We investigated groundwater salinity as a key element in both the short and long-term evolution of the island of Grande Glorieuse. Firstly, we demonstrated that its evolution involved the integration of the whole range of variables forcing climate change.

Cutting freedom down to size Liberté calibrée

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Freedom, as a concept and a value, presents limited prospects for anthropological comparison. The study of enslavement, much neglected in attempts to develop an anthropology of freedom, shows that freedom has been imagined by the enslaved as the opposite of their condition only under particular circumstances.

Impacts of tropical sea surface temperature variability on oil palm yield in Malaysia

Environmental Research Communications
As the world’s second-largest palm oil producer, Malaysia plays a vital role in global supply chains. Understanding the impact of tropical Indian and Atlantic Ocean Sea Surface Temperature (SST) variability on palm yield is crucial for ensuring stable ...

The Momentum of ‘Developed’: Bodies of Water, Aging Bodies and Malta's Interventions at the UN

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Histories of major powers continue to shape how many scholars conceptualize internationalism. By focusing on Malta's interventions at the UN challenges, this article challenges such narrative. In particular, it examines Arvid Pardo's 1967 petition that the seabed be reconceived and protected as the ‘common heritage of mankind’ and Vincent ...

Summertime warm extremes over the Indochina Peninsula linked to the tropical Indian Ocean tripole mode

Environmental Research Letters
A new air–sea coupled variability of the sea surface temperature anomalies over the tropical Indian Ocean was observed and named as the tropical Indian Ocean tripole (IOT) in terms of its unique tripole pattern in recent studies, which peaks in boreal ...

Biology, ecology and dynamics of Deborrea malgassa (Heylarts 1884) (Lepidoptera: Psychidae), the main threat to apple Malus domestica Borkh growing in Madagascar

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Bioecology parameters of the endemic Psychidae Deborrea malgassa, the main pest of apple trees in Madagascar. Spatiotemporal dynamics of Deborrea malgassa, with a peak infestation between May and August. Proposed targeted prophylaxis techniques associated with other agroecological principles will be key to reducing the vulnerability of apple orchards ...

Crustal fault reactivation facilitating lithospheric folding/buckling in the central Indian Ocean

, 1996
High-quality, normal-incidence seismic reflection data confirm that tectonic deformation in the central Indian Ocean occurs at two spatial scales: whole lithosphere folding with wavelengths varying between 100 and 300 km, and compressional reactivation ...
