A new computer model by MBARI researchers Monique Messié and Francisco Chavez can predict the locations of biological hotspots around the world, using only basic information about the local winds, currents, and concentrations of nitrate, which acts like a fertilizer for marine algae. Messié and Ch...

The Azorean archipelago, recognized as one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, is home to a diverse and unique community of arthropod species, highlighting a notable degree of endemism. However, the native forests that support these species are facing significant degradation due to habitat loss ...
2023). Several methods have been used to identify hotspots in various fields, including ecology and epidemiology, and for different purposes. Examples exist to identify global hotspots of biological invasions using worldwide patterns of ship traffic (Drake and Lodge 2004), to characterise and predict...
In comparing 25 hotspots using the data on original area, endemic bird or mammal species, and the current remaining natural vegetation (Crooks et al., 2017; Pimm & Raven, 2000), dismal futures are predicted for a high proportion of the species now living in these hotspots. Considering the...
Hotspots of blood trait–cancer pleiotropism are present in the TERT and HLA regions Examining the location of pleiotropic variants throughout the genome indicated regions with a relatively high frequency of associations (Fig. 3b). Analysis of the representation of pleiotropic associations relative to ...
Although biological soil crusts can be found in open landscapes worldwide, their species composition depends on soil properties such as texture and pH, on microclimate, and their respective developmental stage. In addition, local variations in water holding capacity and/or chemical properties of soils...
