DOI: 10.1016/j.earscirev.2021.103774
Abstract: Abstract We review estimates of collisional shortening along the Alpine Chain and reassess its amounts, showing that it increases from south to north in the Western Alps, attaining a maximum in the Central Alps, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.geomorph.2021.107622
Abstract: Abstract Rock slope failure (RSF) occurs in different contexts but is typically reported either as (i) single-category inventories or (ii) single-site geotechnical monographs. Few studies have sought to evaluate the spatial incidence of all modes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12862-019-1510-4
Abstract: BackgroundGenetic processes shape the modern-day distribution of genetic variation within and between populations and can provide important insights into the underlying mechanisms of evolution. The resulting genetic variation is often unequally partitioned within species’ distribution… read more here.
