A moisture budget perspective on Australian rainfall variability
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological SocietyAbstractRainfall variability over Australia is revisited from the viewpoint of the atmospheric moisture budgets in three regions: the extratropics, Subtropics, and Tropics. The budgets are calculated using three‐hourly European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) and ERA5‐Land data between 1979 and 2022.

Irrigation and Drainage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy,’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security ...

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Metal pollution in aquatic environments represents a recurring global concern; however, traditional paradigms often assume linear bioaccumulation patterns that may fail under catastrophic contamination scenarios. This study evaluated metal concentrations in water, sediment, and tissues of 10 fish species from different trophic guilds in the ...

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Amphibians are among the most threatened taxonomic groups, with many species experiencing rapid declines that have resulted in small, isolated populations vulnerable to inbreeding depression and reduced fertility. One major outcome of inbreeding is lowered fecundity, often linked to morphological changes in gametes.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The association between species' habitat preferences (e.g., aquatic, terrestrial, arboreal) and traits related to body temperature regulation and water balance has been relatively well studied in anurans. However, whether such associations hold for species occupying the same general habitat while differing in other relevant functional ...

Heat, Health and Holidays: Reported Heat Related Adjustments to Australian Tourist Behaviour
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.This study assessed how climate‐related hazards affect Australian tourists' travel planning. While 80% of tourists report no impact, the 20% who do experience disruption most commonly change their activities, timing, or destination, with heat and rain affecting the same proportion of tourists across beach, city, nature, and family tourism types ...

ERA5 Can Overstate Changes in the Frequency of Extreme Heat: A New Zealand Case Study
International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.ERA5 reproduces broad patterns of summer warming across New Zealand but underestimates temperature variability and warm‐tail extremes, biasing estimates of extreme heat risk. ABSTRACT Summertime temperature extremes exert profound impacts on human health, ecosystems, and infrastructure, yet their characteristics and drivers remain poorly quantified in ...
