Sea-level changes through the Quaternary era have provided recurrent opportunities for the biosphere to significantly shape the coastal geomorphology of eastern Africa. Key agents in this shaping have been the calcium carbonate-fixing biota that have constructed the oceanfacing fringing reefs and produced the extensive backreef sediments that form the limestone platforms, cliffs and terraces th...

Treatment should not be delayed pending confirmation of infection when Rocky Mountain spotted fever is suspected. Doxycycline is the drug of choice even for infants and children less than 8 years old.

In this article, we explore the potential for sea-level change and rocky coastal evolution reconstruction hidden in one of most intriguing landforms Baltic Sea region—rauks. Those unique limestone sea stacks are preserved along coasts a number Swedish islands, with Gotland Fårö as primary locations. We contributed to long-standing debate on their origin attempted investigate modern geomorpholog...

The present study constitutes the first evaluation of space colonization strategies performed by Rugulopteryx okamurae when co-occurring with resident macroalgal community in introduced areas. Since apparition nonindigenous macroalga Strait Gibraltar, its high propagation capacity together ability has enhanced establishment success species detriment biota. In this study, we carried out observat...
