HYBRID WILDEBEEST (ARTIODACTYLA: BOVIDAE) PROVIDE FURTHER EVIDENCE FOR SHARED SIGNATURES OF ADMIXTURE IN MAMMALIAN CRANIA

Hybrid wildebeest (Artiodactyla: Bovidae) provide further evidence for shared signatures of admixture in mammalian crania

The genus Connochaetes, Lichtenstein, 1814, contains two Chairs w/CUSH/Table Set (3/CN) extant species, the blue wildebeest (C.taurinus, Burchell, 1823) and the black wildebeest (C.gnou, Zimmermann, 1780).In recent years, forced sympatry in confined areas within South Africa has led to interbreeding between these taxa and to fertile hybrid offsprin

Behind the scenes of streamflow model performance

Streamflow is often the Wheel Spacer only variable used to evaluate hydrological models.In a previous international comparison study, eight research groups followed an identical protocol to calibrate 12 hydrological models using observed streamflow of catchments within the Meuse basin.In the current study, we quantify the differences in five states

Turning Agricultural Wastes into Biomaterials: Assessing the Sustainability of Scenarios of Circular Valorization of Corn Cob in a Life-Cycle Perspective

Circular economy plays a key role in increasing the sustainability of the agricultural sector, given the countless possibilities of transforming crop residues and recycling precious resources.The maize cultivation process produces a significant amount of residual organic Swim materials, commonly left on the field, as a soil conditioner and source o

Microwave Biomedical Sensors With Stable Response: Basic Idea and Preliminary Numerical Assessments for Blood Glucose Monitoring

Microwave sensors are gaining increasing interest in blood glucose detection, for their potential ability to perform a continuous non-invasive monitoring of the glucose concentration, by relating the change in the blood dielectric properties to a variation in the glucose level.Usually, the involved body part (phantom) is placed on the sensor to per

Weather and climate extremes: Pacemakers of adaptation?

Weather and climate extremes might propel adaptation both to a stable climate and its characteristic extremes, as well as to underlying changes, if they reveal vulnerabilities, cause damage, and make slow change more noticeable.In theory, extremes act as focusing events that overcome barriers to adaptation and accelerate policy responses.This pace-
