Inbreeding is often avoided in natural populations by passive processes such as sex-biased dispersal. But, in many social animals, opposite-sexed adult relatives are spatially clustered, generating a risk of incest and hence selection for active inbr...

The promotion of enhanced gas recovery (EGR) and CO2 storage is still shrouded in contention, and is not well accepted, due to the excessive in-situ CO2 mixing with the nascent natural gas. This adulterates the recovered CH4 and thus, results in a...
