Instabilities on Alpine temperate glaciers: new insights arising from the numerical modelling of Allalingletscher (Valais, Switzerland)

The processes leading to a glacier instability depend on the thermal properties of the contact between the Soap glacier and its bedrock.Assessing the stability of temperate glacier (i.e.the glacier can slide on its bedrock) remains problematic.In order to scrutinize in more detail the processes governing such "sliding" instabilities, a numerical mo

Revision of three camaenid and one bradybaenid species (Gastropoda, Stylommatophora) from China based on morphological and molecular data, with description of a new bradybaenid subspecies from Inner Mongolia, China

We have revised the taxonomy of three camaenid and one bradybaenid species from China and described one new subspecies of the genus Bradybaena (Family Bradybaenidae) from Inner Mongolia, China.The genitalia of Soap three Satsuma (Family Camaenidae) species S.mellea stenozona (Moellendorff, 1884), S.meridionalis (Moellendorff, 1884), comb.n.and S.un
