Among the factors that should be included in future studies include host genetics, climatic factors, presence of alternative vertebrate hosts, composition and structure of vegetation, among other biotic and abiotic variables. Fu- ture studies should also examine the contribution of vari- ous bacterial...
The South Andes regions have diverse landscapes from mountain peaks, Pampa grasslands, to deserts. The highest mountain of the Andes, Cerro Aconcagua, is located in the province of Mendoza in Argentina. The semiarid plateau, Altiplano, extends from the south into Argentina and Chile. It is ...
In all countries, the promotion, development, and exploitation of renewable energy have become a common consensus. Given the importance of renewable energy, related research is vital in developing renewable energy in different regions. Research on the development of renewable energy has also been an...
‘proximity to universities’. The variables were selected based on previous trends in study location biases of other taxonomic groups2,4,21. Other possible environmental predictors that might influence faunal and floral species distributions (e.g. habitat type, climatic zones, local abiotic factors,...
