EVOLUTIONARY AND BIOGEOGRAPHICAL HISTORY OF PENGUINS (SPHENISCIFORMES): REVIEW OF THE DISPERSAL PATTERNS AND ADAPTATIONS IN A GEOLOGIC AND PALEOECOLOGICAL CONTEXT

Evolutionary and Biogeographical History of Penguins (Sphenisciformes): Review of the Dispersal Patterns and Adaptations in a Geologic and Paleoecological Context

Despite its current low diversity, the penguin clade (Sphenisciformes) is one of the groups of birds with the most complete fossil record.Likewise, from the evolutionary point of view, it is an interesting group given the adaptations developed for marine life and the extreme climatic occupation capacity that some species have shown.In the present c

Appraising the synergistic use of recycled asphalt pavement and recycled concrete aggregate for the production of sustainable asphalt concrete

Material obtained from the demolition of concrete structures and milling of flexible pavements has the highest potential for recyclability.This study aimed to evaluate the performance of hot mix asphalt with the concurrent use of recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) and recycled concrete aggregate (RCA).Contents of RAP and RCA were varied from 0% to 50%
