Carbon-Hydrogen Bond Activation, C-N Bond Coupling, and Cycloaddition Reactivity of a Three-Coordinate Nickel Complex Featuring a Terminal Imido Ligand

Description: In this study, we describe reaction chemistry of the first nickel(II) complexes having a terminally bound imido ligand, (dtbpe)Ni=NR (R = 2,6-ⁱPr₂C₆H₃, 2,3,6-Me₃C₆H₂ (Mes), and Ad) with various small unsaturated molecules.

LiDAR Data for Characterizing Linear and Planar Geomorphic Markers in Tectonic Geomorphology

Description: This paper provides a brief review of airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) data for characterizing linear and planar geomorphic markers in tectonic geomorphology, including traces of active faults and surface deformation caused by earthquakes. Challenges and opportunities of LiDAR for the study of tectonic geomorphology and coseismic deformation are also discussed.

Association of Host and Microbial Species Diversity across Spatial Scales in Desert Rodent Communities

Description: Article describes study in which researchers employed a natural gradient of rodent species richness and quantified bacterial communities in rodent blood at several hierarchical spatial scales to test the hypothesis that associations between host and microbial species diversity will be positive in communities dominated by organisms with broad niches sampled at large scales.
