DIVERSIFICATION OF AMAZONIAN SPINY TREE RATS IN GENUS MAKALATA (RODENTIA, ECHIMYIDAE): CRYPTIC DIVERSITY, GEOGRAPHIC STRUCTURE AND DRIVERS OF SPECIATION

Diversification of Amazonian spiny tree rats in genus Makalata (Rodentia, Echimyidae): Cryptic diversity, geographic structure and drivers of speciation

Amazonian mammal diversity is exceptionally high, yet new taxonomic discoveries continue to be made and many questions remain for understanding its diversification through time and space.Here we investigate the diversification of spiny rats in the genus Makalata, Antiseptic whose species are strongly associated with seasonally flooded forests, wate

Experimental Research on Thermomechanical Properties of Thermal Energy Storage Cement Mortar Incorporated with Phase-Change Material

In the current work, the thermal energy storage cement mortars were prepared by physical mixing between cement mortar and form-stable hydrated salt based on disodium hydrogen phosphate dodecahydrate/carbon nanofiber-expanded graphite (DSP/CNF-EG).The DSP/CNF-EG was incorporated into cement mortar through replacing standard sand of 5 wt%, 10 wt%, an
