TAXON CYCLES IN NEOTROPICAL MANGROVES

Taxon Cycles in Neotropical Mangroves

The concept of the taxon cycle involves successive range expansions and contractions over time, through which a species can indefinitely maintain its core distribution.Otherwise, it becomes extinct.Taxon cycles have been defined mostly for tropical island faunas; examples from continental areas are scarce, and similar case studies for plants remain

High-Pressure synthesis of Al2O3-cBN-hBN Self-lubricating ceramic

Al2O3-based self-lubricating ceramics are cutting tool materials that meet the extreme working conditions of dry cutting.However, due to the soft lubricating components, the mechanical properties of composites are dramatically reduced.In this paper, Al2O3-cBN-hBN self-lubricating material was designed.High density, fine grain ceramics were synthesi
