north to south along the coast, rainfall tends to decrease, and the vegetation changes from tropical rainforest in the north to tropical Savannah and desert in the south. The Humboldt or Peruvian Current is an influencing factor in the differences in temperature and rainfall in coastal Ecuador. ...
The best time of year to see the resplendent quetzal is from November to April. Migratory birds can be spotted during the spring and fall. In some places, surf breaks are consistent year-round. However, the Pacific coast sees larger swells and bigger waves during the rainy season, especially...
and Indonesia to the south. Located between 2.8°and 8° north of the Equator, this is a great example of a tropical island that experiences a guaranteed warm and humid climate all year round.
predictability in Europe is generally low throughout the year, except in Finland, western Ukraine, and parts of Spain during DJF. In northeast Colombia, precipitation predictability is high during DJF and JJA, reaching 80%, but it falls below 20% in MAM. In northern Brazil and parts of E...
The Amazon basin contains the largest rainforest on Earth, almost 5.8 million km2, and occupies about 40% of South America; more than 60% of the basin is located in Brazil and the rest in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela. Over the past ...
This is not an exhaustive list, as many other genera have been identified specific to regions including Ecuador (Calvopiña et al., 2014) and the United States (Fischer et al., 2011). The list of susceptible hosts in these and other papers point to the extreme generalisation of this ...
Thus, for example, natal drought is the one that a 12-year old individual experienced in its birth year (12 years before), while a current drought would be the one that it encounters during its 12th year of age. We also define the birth order in a brood as “brood rank”, with ...

this stream of funding will prove to be helpful in establishing agroforestry systems, especially in low-income countries, and noting the urgency for action required. There are examples of such systems globally and locally, e.g., cocoa agroforestry in Ghana and cocoa withlivestockin Ecuador [51]...
The results of this study shed some light on the influence of climate in driving endemic versus epidemic dengue transmission. Although Ecuador typically experiences seasonal epidemics6and Kenya typically experiences low levels of year-round transmission5, the sites within this study suggest that epidemic...
