Functional Trait Strategies of Trees in Dry and Wet Tropical Forests Are Similar but Differ in Their Consequences for Succession by Madelon Lohbeck (731258)

Carbon trading, co-pollutants, and environmental equity: Evidence from California’s cap-and-trade program (2011–2015) by Lara Cushing (2914064)

“…</p><p>Methods and findings</p><p>We examined the relationship between multiple measures of neighborhood disadvantage and the location of GHG and co-pollutant emissions from facilities regulated under California’s cap-and-trade program—the world’s fourth largest operational carbon trading program. We examined temporal patterns in annual average emissions of GHGs, particulate matter (PM_2.5), nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, volatile organic compounds, and air toxics before (January 1, 2011–December 31, 2012) and after (January 1, 2013–December 31, 2015) the initiation of carbon trading. …”

The Genotypic Population Structure of <em>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</em> Complex from Moroccan Patients Reveals a Predominance of Euro-American Lineages by Ouafae Lahlou (127724)

“…</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3><p>The <em>M. tuberculosis</em> population structure in Morocco is highly homogeneous, and is characterized by the predominance of the Euro-American lineages, namely LAM, Haarlem, and T, which belong to the “evolutionary recent” TbD1−/PGG2/3 phylogenetic group. The combination of spoligotyping and MIRUs decreased the clustering rate significantly, and should now be systematically applied in larger studies. …”
