Using >60,000 single nucleotide polymorphisms, we quantify patterns of nuclear genetic differentiation between populations that occupy areas with different climates and harbour deeply divergent mitochondrial lineages despite ongoing nuclear gene flow. We find that strong genetic differentiation and sequence ...
When Europeans first invaded Australia, the only people here who were good at swimming were the Aboriginal people. The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim. Also some people worried that they would get sick if they wet their whole body. ...
As in seed plants, the greatest diversity of pteridophytes is found in the tropics, with only about six hundred species adapted for life in temperate climates. Species living today are relics of ancient lineages that once dominated Ferns reproduce by releasing spores rather than seeds. the ...
These regions have complex and changing climates, and their ecosystems are particularly vulnerable (Chen and Chen, 2013). These regions experience ongoing aridification as a result of climate change, which causes a number of ecological issues, such as severe water deficits and desertification, and ...
In harsh climates when food is scarce, bears and some other animals sleep through winter because they use up more energy maintaining their body temperature and in foraging for food than they would receive from eating the food they are able to find. This is also true of businesses now during...
These results suggest that nymphalid butterflies (and perhaps all butterflies) were ancestrally adapted to tropical climates and readily dispersed across tropical regions during their earliest period of diversification. Earth’s climate cooled abruptly during the Eocene-Oligocene transition36. The appearance ...
Biochar (BC) applications in soil has positive effects on plant performance, particularly for loose soil in agricultural context. However, how biochar type
might be either underestimated or overestimated in this regional scale study, considering the under sampling of TC events in the 30-year calibration period along with the Gumbel EVD capability to represent heavy tailed and mixed climate distributions required for TC climates (O'Grady et al., 2022...
The introduction of exotic species and the associated impacts are increasing worldwide due to the development and increase in transportation and international trade. As new populations of the non-native Gekko japonicus and G. swinhonis have recently been discovered in South Korea, this study was co...
