Jumping spider (Araneae: Salticidae) diversity in the understory of the Argentinian Atlantic Forest
Caldasia, 2017 The Atlantic Forest is one of the key biodiversity hotspots in the world. Its understory can be dominated by species such as the native bamboo Chusquea ramosissima (tacuarembó), which can be an aggressive gap colonizer and change biotic and abiotic ...

Global Climate network evolves with North Atlantic Oscillation phases: Coupling to Southern Pacific Ocean [PDF]
, 2013 We construct a network from climate records of atmospheric temperature at surface level, at different geographical sites in the globe, using reanalysis data from years 1948-2010. We find that the network correlates with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), both locally in the north Atlantic, and through coupling to the southern Pacific Ocean.

Compilation of woody species occurring in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest complex
Frontiers of Biogeography, 2015 The Atlantic Forest is a hotspot for biodiversity conservation because of its high levels of endemism and threatened areas. Three main forest types, differentiated by their floras, compose the Atlantic Forest: ‘Atlantic Forest’ sensu strictu, ‘Araucaria ...

Deep ocean early warning signals of an Atlantic MOC collapse [PDF]
, 2014 The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (MOC) is a crucial part of the climate system because of its associated northward heat transport. The present-day MOC is sensitive to freshwater anomalies and may collapse to a state with a strongly reduced northward heat transport.

An objective change point analysis of landfalling historical Atlantic hurricane numbers [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 In previous work we have analysed the Atlantic basin hurricane number time-series to identify decadal time-scale change points. We now repeat the analysis but for US landfalling hurricanes. The results are very different.

Do the recent severe droughts in the Amazonia have the same period of length? [PDF]
, 2015 We propose a new measure based on drought period length to assess the temporal difference between the recent two severe droughts of 2005 and 2010 in the Amazonia. The sensitivity of the measure is demonstrated by disclosing the distinct spatial responding mechanisms of the Northeastern and Southwestern Amazon (NA, SA) to the surrounding sea surface ...
