Population genetics of the African snakehead fish Parachanna obscura along West Africa's water networks: Implications for sustainable management and conservation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "Ecology and Evolution"
DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9724
Abstract: Abstract An essential factor for aquatic conservation is genetic diversity or population divergence, which in natural populations reflects the interplay between geographical isolation with restricted gene flow and local evolution of populations. The long geological… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-018-4476-9
Abstract: Aerosols can act as cloud condensation nuclei and ice nuclei, resulting in changes in cloud droplet/particle number/size, and hence altering the radiation budget. This study investigates the interactions between aerosols and ice clouds by incorporating… read more here.
