The Southern Hemisphere Westerlies (SHW) are a vital part of the Southern Hemisphere's coupled ocean-atmosphere system and play an important role in the global climate system. The SHW affect the upwelling of carbon-rich deep water and exchange of CO2 from the ocean to the atmosphere by ...
From fierce competitors to narrow-minded coaches to (in all likelihood) you, Alexi Pappas can outrun just about anything. In her new memoir “Bravey: Chasing Dreams, Befriending Pain, and Other Big Ideas”, the Olympian-turned-actress-turned-writer shines a spotlight on the things she can’...
Symbiotic microbes affect the behaviour, health, and fitness of their hosts [1,2]. Foundational research investigating host-microbe co-evolution and the effects of symbiotic microbes on their hosts has focused on humans and model species [3,4,5], but our knowledge of wildlife microbial ecology ...
stations provide useful information that can be used to estimate the spatial distribution of precipitation, the main interest in the coupling between climate and topography has highlighted the need to accurately describe precipitation as a function of both elevation and position on the landscape [3–9...
Orthogonal distance is a measure of the distance of a sample to the PC subspace and is connected to the extent of the residuals, while score distance indicates how far the individual is from the training objects of the class in the PC space, and is connected to the value of the score ve...
six outlier loci putatively under positive selection, based on the population structure inferred from the complete SNP set. Our study highlights the value of genome resources in conservation and management and provides a crucial additional resource for the study of harbour porpoise evolution and ...
Species with breeding ranges that span latitude- or elevation-driven gradients in climate may encounter a corresponding gradient in the seasonal timing of resource availability. This in turn can affect the optimal timing of life history events16,17,20,21,22. Examining the behavioral flexibility of ...
