Earth’s crust is divided into two types: oceanic crust and continental crust. The continental crust is that part of the earth's crust that underlies the continents and continental shelves. (Earth as an Evolving Planetary System (Fourth Edition), 2021. https://doi.org/10.1016/C2019-0-00301-9)

The pine shoot beetle (Tomicus destruens) is a pest of pine trees. It is very similar to Tomicus piniperda and is native to the Mediterranean area. (University of Wyoming, http://www.uwyo.edu/capsweb/pest-information-summaries-maps/insects/tomicus-destruens.html)
Geological structures are the results of tectonic deformations, which control landform distribution patterns. These structures include folds, fault planes, size, persistence, spatial variations, and numbers of the rock discontinuities in a particular region. (Wikipedia, 2024. Geological structure measurement by LiDAR. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geological_structure_measurement_by_LiDAR)
Forest predominantly composed of true mangrove species established through natural regeneration or through planting and/or deliberate seeding. Includes mangrove species shorter than 5 m in height. (FAO. 2023. The world’s mangroves 2000–2020. Rome. https://doi.org/10.4060/cc7044en)
Anoxia (Protanoxia) orientalis Krynicki, 1832 is a beetle of the family Melolonthidae, characterized by an overall length of 21–32 mm, with an Eastern European chorotype (sensu). Its wide range includes Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Macedonia, Romania, Russia, Turkey Ukraine, Serbia, Slovenia, Syria, Lebanon and Israel. This species also occurs in Italy. (Muscarella C, Luiselli L, Di Vittorio M, Sparacio I, Dendi D. Factors Associated with the Occurrence, Potential Distribution and Conservation of Anoxia orientalis (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) at Different Spatial Scales. Diversity. 2022; 14(5):397. https://doi.org/10.3390/d14050397)
Ecological niche modelling is a technique that mathematically relates species data (usually occurrence points) to predictive environmental variables in order to produce a prediction map of suitable habitat. (Guisan A, Zimmermann NE. 2000. Predictive habitat distribution models in ecology. Ecological Modelling 135: 147–186)
Leprosy, also known as Hansen’s disease, is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. The disease affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosal surfaces of the upper respiratory tract and the eyes. Leprosy is known to occur at all ages ranging from early childhood to old age. Leprosy is curable and treatment during early stages can prevent disability. (WHO, 2024. Leprosy (Hansen disease). https://www.who.int/health-topics/leprosy)
