دراسة مسحية وتقييم الوضع الحالي للتشكيلات الحراجية في مناطق طرطوس وصافيتا ودريكيش (سوريا) by سهيل نادر

“…The research revealed that the phytosociological composition is also still present, from floral point of view, with a great retreat in individual density and general and particular physiognomy. Despite the difference in species types, quality and succulence from place to another; they still can be relied on as new propagation centers to retrieve and restore climax forests through applying and enforcing all protection, reforestation, proliferation and strict control measures.   …”

Seasonal and spatial species richness variation of dung beetle (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae s. str.) in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil Variação sazonal e espacial da rique... by Malva I. Medina Hernández, Fernando Z. Vaz-de-Mello

“…Thus, a study of the Scarabaeidae (sensu stricto) dung beetles fauna that inhabit Serra do Japi, São Paulo, Brazil (23º12'-23º22' S and 46º53'-47º03'W) was carried out; the monthly species richness was analyzed in six areas during one year and the vegetation's structural physiognomy was described. The areas included a conserved and a degraded valley, a northward and a southward hillside, a hilltop, and an area of secondary forest growing under eucalyptus trees. …”

“…The manuscript presented in this contribution, a Liber Sextus preserved in the Library of Congress in Washington DC (Ms. 28), has so far been overlooked by art historians.The stylistic analysis of the illustrative and decorative apparatus of the manuscript, conducted in this study, makes it possible to attribute it to the anonymous illuminator called Master of the Avignon Decretum (from the most relevant manuscript illuminated by him, Avignon, Bibliothèque Municipale, Ms. 659), as revealed by the physiognomies of the faces of the characters depicted in the manuscript.This illuminator, trained most probably in Toulouse and active between 1320 and 1350, likely had links with the Dominicans of the city.…”
