The Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus thynnus, is a commercially important species that has been severely over-exploited in the recent past.Although the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean stock is now showing signs of recovery, its current status remains very uncertain and as a consequence their recovery is dependent upon severe management informed by

The conservation of species structured in metapopulations involves an important dilemma of resource allocation: should investments be directed at restoring/enlarging habitat patches or increasing connectivity.This is still an open question for Maculinea species despite they are among the best studied and emblematic butterfly species, because none o

Molecularly imprinted polymers are versatile materials with wide application scope for the detection, capture and separation of specific compounds present in complex feed stocks.A major challenge associated with their preparation has been the need to sacrifice one mole equivalent of the template molecule to generate the complementary polymer caviti

Floods pose significant threats to urban areas, resulting in substantial human and financial losses annually.The vulnerability of key urban centers to these risks diminishes their efficiency, leading to public dissatisfaction and service deficiencies.Recognizing and enhancing the resilience of essential buildings becomes crucial in mitigating these
