Opening a new era of investigating unreachable cliff flora using smart UAVs
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation"
DOI: 10.1002/rse2.214
Abstract: Cliff ecosystems are considered the ‘Last Unknown’ because cliffs may host ancient and unique species that are located in extremely hostile environments and are difficult to reach. However, comprehensive and systematic information and databases of… read more here.

Reliability-Based Stability Analysis of a Baltic Cliff by the Combined Response Surface Method
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Geotechnical and Geological Engineering"
DOI: 10.1007/s10706-020-01384-5
Abstract: The study presents a probabilistic stability analysis of a Baltic cliff in Jastrzębia Góra, Poland. Progressive slope erosion is a threat to adjacent buildings, so safety assessment of the slope is essential. The cliff shows… read more here.

DOI: 10.1029/2019gl084183
Abstract: The accelerated calving of ice shelves buttressing the Antarctic Ice Sheet may form unstable ice cliffs. The marine ice cliff instability hypothesis posits that cliffs taller than a critical height (~90 m) will undergo structural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cz/zox005
Abstract: Abstract The specific spatial distribution and habitat association—strongly influenced by environmental factors or competitive interactions—are major issues in ecology and conservation. We located and georeferenced nesting sites of five cliff-nesting raptors (Egyptian vulture Neophron percnopterus… read more here.

Change in beak overhangs of cliff swallows over 40 years: Partly a response to parasites?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0263422
Abstract: Some birds exhibit a maxillary overhang, in which the tip of the upper beak projects beyond the lower mandible and may curve downward. The overhang is thought to help control ectoparasites on the feathers. Little… read more here.
