Focusing on how past hydroclimate at Lake Chala was generally related to changes in temperature, we find a distinctly positive correlation between BIT-index and MST values during glacial time (75–11.7 kyr ago, or broadly encompassing MIS4–MIS2: Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (ρ)...
However, if we take a look at a map of Asia, it’s easy to see why many people think that Dubai is in Africa. Dubai is a city-state that is strategically situated on the southern tip of the Persian Gulf, a waterway that links the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea. It is surrounded...

Central Yunnan Province (CYP) and eastern South Africa (ESA) are in the subtropical regions of the Northern and Southern hemispheres, respectively, with significant differences in natural environments and socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, there is a lack of comparability between ...
The radical shifts are happening much further afield. As proof, look to Kampala, Uganda’s Nyege Nyege Tapes label, which in a few short years has become a hub for head-spinning electronic sounds from across East Africa and beyond. The styles showcased on Nyege ...
The timing of growing seasons varies greatly across this large continent, which spans the tropics and subtropics of both hemispheres and contains 20% or the earth’s land surface area, so a regional approach is needed. The purpose of this study is to predict changes in growing seasons, express...

The climate indices are shown in relation to the geographical range of an example of a long-distance migrant, the Willow Warbler Phylloscopus trochilus (map by Andreas Trepte after [55], modified). The negative phases have opposite effects on the environment. 2.5.1. North Atlantic Oscillation ...
