Insights into greener Miocene biomes and globally enhanced terrestrial productivity from fossil leaves by Tammo Reichgelt, Christopher K. West

“…There is a dearth of Miocene data in the tropics and notably an absence of data points in equatorial localities that have high modern NPP (rainforests), which makes a direct comparison complicated. 89% of investigated sites underwent a precipitation decrease from the Miocene to modern, whereas 66% underwent a temperature decrease, and 60% underwent both a precipitation and a temperature decrease. 67% of sites had more productive biomes during the Miocene than today. Most notably, forested biomes were replaced by more open woodland/shrubland or grassland biomes. …”

Fitness landscapes of human microsatellites. by Ryan J Haasl, Bret A Payseur

“…We introduce four general models of natural selection that are each characterized by just two parameters, are easily simulated, and are specifically designed for microsatellites. Using a random forests approach to approximate Bayesian computation, we fit these models to carefully chosen microsatellites genotyped in 200 humans from a diverse collection of eight populations. …”

La disputa por el territorio en el cambio en la Política de Ordenamiento Territorial de Manizales (2003-2017). Un estudio a partir del marco de análisis y desarrollo institucional... by Manuela Carmona Bedoya

“…Se realiza un análisis de la política de Ordenamiento Territorial en la ciudad de Manizales a partir de 2003, a raíz del cambio de la norma para el uso del suelo en La Aurora, área colindante a la Reserva Forestal de Río Blanco. Mediante un método de investigación cualitativa y usando el marco de análisis y desarrollo institucional (ADI) se establece que si bien las reglas constitucionales determinan la formulación de los planes de ordenamiento territorial (POT) estas desencadenan un espacio de interacción, en el que los actores locales desarrollan estrategias para modificar dichas reglas. …”
