The glaciated areas of the HMA are more sensitive to temperature than those in low-lying plains18. Climate change predictions for these aera include more frequent extreme weather events, recession of the glaciers, and changes in water levels in glacial lakes19. Geologic hazards occur frequently in...
Graph C shows the average daily time spent inactive measured in hours. Note the increase in the time spent inactive during the post-rut period. Graph D shows the average faecal androgen metabolite concentrations for the group of 4 blue wildebeest. Note the peak in testosterone during the rut ...
cause sea level to rise,and is expected to increase the intensity of extreme weather events[4] and to change the amount and pattern of precipitation.Other effects of global warming include changes in agricultural yields,glacier retreat,species extinctions and increases in the range...
it should be noted that survival differences, especially in the outer extremes of age (i.e., very young and very old chicks; Fig.4) may have been due to small sample sizes (e.g.,
in both hemispheres9. Hindcast data also show significant increases in extreme wave heights at the high latitudes of the southern hemisphere11, 0.25–0.9% per year for the 90th percentile in the north Atlantic and the north Pacific, and decreases in the mid-latitudes8,12. However, not only...
tested two different definitions of anomaly based on median and interquartile range or (mild) outliers. We tried two relationships between anomalies inside Dobrovolsky’s area before the earthquake and the magnitude of the same seismic events: one which considers distance in space and time and a ...
increase in global average temperatures. The repercussions of these phenomena cause the occurrence of heatwaves and the urban heat island effect (UHI), bringing out the inability of cities to cope with changes in the climate, making urban open spaces unlivable and no longer the ideal habitat ...
