(Wiley, 2018)
Male fertility rates have shown a progressive decrease in both developing and industrialised countries in the past 50 years. Clinical and epidemiological studies have demonstrated controversial results about the harmful ...
Herschel PEP/HerMES: the redshift evolution of dust attenuation and of the total (UV+IR) star formation rate density
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
Using new homogeneous luminosity functions (LFs) in the far-ultraviolet (FUV) from VVDS and in the far-infrared (FIR) from Herschel/PEP and Herschel/HerMES, we studied the evolution of the dust attenuation with redshift. ...
Towards a new classification system for legumes: Progress report from the 6th International Legume Conference
(Elsevier, 2013)
Legume systematists have been making great progress in understanding evolutionary relationships within the Leguminosae (Fabaceae), the third largest family of flowering plants. As the phylogenetic picture has become clearer, ...

(Academy of Science of South Africa, 2018)
Sprites are the optical signatures of electrical discharges in the mesosphere triggered by large lightning
strikes associated with thunderstorms. Since their discovery in the late 1980s, sprites have been
observed ...
Radiations and male fertility
(Springer Nature, 2018)
During recent years, an increasing percentage of male infertility has to be attributed to an array of environmental,
health and lifestyle factors. Male infertility is likely to be affected by the intense exposure to heat ...
Variation in the daily activity, movement and refugia of Critically Endangered geometric tortoises, Psammobates geometricus, in autumn and spring
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)
To help assess habitat requirements of Critically Endangered geometric tortoises, we used thread-trailing to measure daily activity, movements and refugia of adult Psammobates geometricus in autumn and spring 2002. We found ...
