dimensional systems, it becomes impractical for complicated three-dimensional microstructures. During the past ten years, the phase-field approach has emerged as one of the most powerful methods for modeling many types of microstructure evolution processes. It is based on a diffuse-interface descripti...
The authors had the required approvals from the conservation authorities for this work and argued that alternative non-harmful methods, such as camera-traps and baited video, or capture-release methods, would be too time-consuming and expensive because of the species' low population density. Since...
Statistical methods for warming scenarios We first calculated for each site the number of years during observed (1985–2015) climate in which the local mortality-year threshold conditions (that is, years when all six climate variables met or exceeded the mortality year conditions during that site’...

Prey biomass density (ρy, kg m−3) was calculated for both krill and anchovy, the two common prey items of rorqual whales foraging in Monterey Bay, according to the methods in refs.34,38,79,80. Little is known about plastic concentration in prey (Cy, pp ind−1), specifically krill...
In this study, we used multivariate methods to compare field-based, terrestrial ecosystem health indicators from the watershed scale with the landscape level by means of remote sensing. Based on a case study for central Iran, the main aim of our study is to link qualitative field data with ...
This subset includes 527 medieval and early modern age settlements dated by precise archaeological methods (for a detailed description of the data filtering, please refer to the Methods section in the respective paper). In four cases, it was impossible to determine the field pattern types of the...
His second book, the New York Times bestseller Nature's Best Hope, urged homeowners to take conservation into their own hands. Now, he is turning his advocacy to one of the most important species of the plant kingdom – the mighty oak tree.Oaks sustain a complex and fascinating web of ...
