ANNUAL AND SEASONAL GLACIER-WIDE SURFACE MASS BALANCE QUANTIFIED FROM CHANGES IN GLACIER SURFACE STATE: A REVIEW ON EXISTING METHODS USING OPTICAL SATELLITE IMAGERY

Annual and Seasonal Glacier-Wide Surface Mass Balance Quantified from Changes in Glacier Surface State: A Review on Existing Methods Using Optical Satellite Imagery

Glaciers are one of the terrestrial essential climate variables (ECVs) as they respond very sensitively to climate change.A key driver of their response is the glacier surface mass balance that is typically derived from field measurements.It deserves to be quantified over long time scales to better understand the accumulation and ablation processes

Bacterial Composition and Diversity of the Digestive Tract of Odontomachus monticola Emery and Ectomomyrmex javanus Mayr

Ponerine ants are generalist predators feeding on a variety of small arthropods, annelids, and isopods; however, knowledge of their bacterial communities is rather limited.This study investigated the bacterial composition and diversity in the digestive tract (different gut sections and the infrabuccal pockets (IBPs)) of two ponerine ant species (Od

The Horizontal Raphe of the Human Retina and its Watershed Zones

The horizontal raphe (HR) as a demarcation line dividing the retina and choroid into separate vascular hemispheres is well established, but its development has never been discussed in the context of new findings of the last decades.Although factors for axon guidance are established (e.g., slit-robo pathway, ephrin-protein-receptor pathway) mre93ll/
