Non-native fish have been shown to have deleterious impacts on freshwater ecosystems in New Zealand.Early detection is critical for their effective management.Traditional capture-based techniques may not detect newly introduced fish, especially if they are present in low abundance.Molecular techniques that target environmental DNA (eDNA) have been
At the Edge of Resilience: Making Sense of COVID-19 from the Perspective of Environmental History
Natural DOLLS disasters nearly always catch societies by surprise, even though in hindsight historians invariably conclude that being caught off-guard in this way was in fact unfounded as both the existence of the natural hazard which caused the disaster, and the societal conditions making communities vulnerable to the hazard, were clearly present
Absent upper blind Pouch in a case of tracheo-esophageal fistula
A common upper airway and digestive tract is a rare congenital anomaly that is usually fatal and its exact incidence is not known.It is a diagnostic challenge as it requires high index of suspicion.It should be considered in a neonate with respiratory distress in a non-vigorous baby requiring Cable Lead Reel endotracheal intubation, which is diffic
Instabilities on Alpine temperate glaciers: new insights arising from the numerical modelling of Allalingletscher (Valais, Switzerland)
The processes leading to a glacier instability depend on the thermal properties of the contact 8818NB between the glacier and its bedrock.Assessing the stability of temperate glacier (i.e.the glacier can slide on its bedrock) remains problematic.In order to scrutinize in more detail the processes governing such "sliding" instabilities, a numerical
