Studying deep-seated catastrophic landslides is challenging due to their complex geological conditions, slow and imperceptible movements, limited real-time monitoring, and difficulties in accurately assessing sliding behavior. We examine slope instability in a deep-seated landslide-prone area located in Lantai, Taiwan, by analyzing the temporal evolutions of slope movement and rainfall. Using a non-invasive automatic monitorin...

Scrutinizing the traits of octocorals that could affect their physiological performance becomes increasingly important as several of these species are observed to become dominant on reefs pressured by the Anthropocene. In the present study, we compare the organismal traits of two branching octocorals Litophyton sp. and Stereonephthya sp. commonly populating in sympatry the high-latitude coral communities of northern Taiwan. Us...
