A record-breaking dust episode took place in Crete on 22 March 2018.The event was characterized by surface concentrations exceeding 1 mg m−3 for a period of 4–7 h, reaching record values higher than 6 mg m−3 at the background station of Finokalia.We present here a detailed analysis of the atmospheric dynamical processes during thi
Abstract Background The Old World insectivorous bat genus Rhinolophus is highly speciose.Over the last 15 years, the number of its recognized species has grown from 77 to 106, but knowledge of their interrelationships has not kept pace.Species limits and phylogenetic relationships of this morphologically conservative group remain problematic due bo
Extracts of Diprion similis females contained about 15 ng of the sex pheromone precursor 3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol per female.After derivatisation with (S)-2-acetoxypropanoyl chloride, we found that the major stereoisomer in the extract was (2S,3R,7R)-3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol.Small amounts of other stereoisomers of 3,7-dimethylpentadecan-2-ol
