What do the numbers show The Cc females that were observed in Akumal were increasingly frequent but decreased in size in the last years of the conservation programme. It is probable that many Cc born on Akumal beaches were recruited to nest, showing philopatric behaviour. The results show that the Cc nesting in Akumal deposited […] More

Preparation and optimization of Ben/Rm ceramsite Elemental compositions of Ben and Rm were determined by XRF (Table 1). High contents of SiO2 and Al2O3 were found in Ben (SiO2 = 60.8% and Al2O3 = 11.9%) and Rm (SiO2 = 15.2% and Al2O3 = 22.2%), which are sufficient to meet the requirements of sintering ceramsite21. In addition to SiO2 and Al2O3, some fluxing components (e.g., […] More
NEWS AND VIEWS 19 February 2020 Analysis of a unique global data set reveals how the species diversity of birds is affected by the properties of archipelagos and offers a way to test an influential theory. Has this improved our understanding of island biodiversity patterns. Kostas A. Triantis & Kostas A. Triantis is in the […] More
