Subterranean environments contribute to three‐quarters of classified ecosystem services

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Beneath the Earth's surface lies a network of interconnected caves, voids, and systems of fissures forming in rocks of sedimentary, igneous, or metamorphic origin. Although largely inaccessible to humans, this hidden realm supports and regulates services critical to ecological health and human well‐being.

Extent, characteristics and policy applications of Key Biodiversity Areas

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A global standard for the identification of Key Biodiversity Areas (KBAs) was published 10 years ago to provide a unified set of criteria for identifying ‘sites of significance for the global persistence of biodiversity’. We review the initiative's origins, the KBA identification process, characteristics of the current network, threats, policy

Can Coastal Kelvin Waves Drive a Basin‐Wide Intermediate Circulation With a Semi‐Annual Cycle?

Geophysical Research Letters
Ocean circulations are essential for global climate, redistributing heat and water across ocean basins. The Andaman Sea (AS), a key semi‐enclosed sea connecting to the Bay of Bengal, has lacked sufficient observational data to understand its intermediate

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

COMPARISON OF CRACKING PROCESS IN TROPICAL WOOD FOR MOBILITY

World Conference on Timber Engineering 2025
This work addresses wood cracking for mobility. Japanese Magnolia, the wood species used for the Lignosat microsatelhte, is compared in opening mode and mixed mode to Khaya Ivorensis, a tropical species from Benin. The study is performed with MMCG (Mixed Mode Crack Growth) specimens mounted in an Arcan system and placed in an electromechanical testing ...

Online System for Automatic Tropical Wood Recognition

ELEKTRIKA- Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2019
There are more than 3000 wood species in tropical rainforests, each with their own unique wood anatomy that can be observed using naked eyes aided with a hand glass magnifier for species identification process. However, the number of certified personnel that have this acquired skills are limited due to lenghty training time.

Classifying avian drinking behaviour: ecological insights and implications in a changing world

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Water is a fundamental currency of life, and its availability significantly influences animal behaviour, physiology and distributions. However, our knowledge around the dependence on water for drinking and the direct and indirect mechanisms driving related behaviours remains partial in the context of changing climates. Here, we review patterns
