DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.10.018
Abstract: Abstract Generalist herbivores are less susceptible to changes in the plant composition of their habitats than specialists are because generalists can consume a diverse array of plants. However, even generalists exhibit dietary choices, for example… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2025.3551226
Abstract: In Mediterranean regions, traditional courtyard designs are celebrated for their passive cooling potential, yet modern mosques often rely heavily on energy-intensive cooling systems due to underperforming architectural strategies. This study addresses this paradox by leveraging… read more here.
