Abstract Li-Ion or Na-Ion battery materials, positive electrodes and solid electrolytes in particular, are essentially inorganic compounds into which alkali metals ( Li+ or Na+ ) must diffuse, more or less rapidly or reversibly. As such, they exhibit very …

Abstract Planetesimals are the first macroscopic objects to form in a protoplanetary disk. Asteroids and trans-Neptunian objects are the remnants of the initial population of planetesimals in the circumstellar disk. The collective dynamics of dust …

Abstract Declines in biodiversity are being observed, and pollinating insects are not spared. Among the environmental pressures on pollinator populations, changes in land use have been identified as a major threat. In Europe, urbanization (expansion and …

Abstract Biodiversity is changing rapidly, but these changes are best known for a few well-studied groups, such as birds and mammals. Insects in general have received much less attention, with the possible exception of honeybees or butterflies. The data …
