Attachments to nature : design and eco-emotion [PDF]

, 2006
This paper is concerned with how technology influences people’s emotional attachments to nature. The paper proposes two theoretical works in progress: a model which shows how emotions are constructed through social, technological and ecological ...

Index Bioclimatic "Wind-Chill"

Present Environment and Sustainable Development, 2015
Abstract This paper presents an important bioclimatic index which shows the influence of wind on the human body thermoregulation. When the air temperature is high, the wind increases thermal comfort. But more important for the body is the wind when the air temperature is low.

What controls forest litter decomposition? A coordinated distributed teabag experiment across ten mountains

Ecography, EarlyView.
Litter decomposition in mountainous forest ecosystems is an essential process that affects carbon and nutrient cycling. However, the contribution of litter decomposition to terrestrial ecosystems is difficult to estimate accurately because of the limited comparability of different studies and limited data on local microclimatic and non‐climatic factors.

Where water meets rock: Ecological niches and diversity hotspots of hygropetric beetles in the Neotropics

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
First continental‐scale synthesis of hygropetric beetle diversity and distribution across Neotropical highlands. Climatic and topographic gradients structure regional assemblages and niche overlap. Ecological convergence suggests adaptation to similar conditions across disjunct regions.

The Ecological Factors Associated With the Survival, Establishment, and Movement of Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus: A Scoping Review

Journal of Applied Entomology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aedes aegypti and Ae. albopictus are mosquito species of public health significance and collectively responsible for the transmission of several arboviruses. Ongoing climatic changes are anticipated to have impacts on their survival, establishment, and movement.

Plastid and nuclear phylogenomics of Cyphostemma (Vitaceae) provide new insights into genome size evolution across sub‐Saharan Africa

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Some African Cyphostemma species evolved much larger genomes as they adapted to dry, rocky habitats. These expansions are linked to succulent traits and specialization on nutrient‐rich limestone outcrops. The findings show how climate‐driven aridification shaped plant evolution and highlight broader genome‐environment patterns across flowering plants ...

Beyond species means – the intraspecific contribution to global wood density variation

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Wood density is central for estimating vegetation carbon storage and a plant functional trait of great ecological and evolutionary importance. However, the global extent of wood density variation is unclear, especially at the intraspecific level. We assembled the most comprehensive wood density collection to date, including 109 626 records from

Stronger expression of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) requires effective cuticular transpiration barriers but not necessarily strong succulence

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Discovering functional and evolutionary interdependencies of hydraulic traits and crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) is crucial to understand CAM phenotype diversity and convergence. In complex traits such as CAM, the co‐option of associated traits strongly impacts the evolutionary outcome.

Limited drought tolerance in the neotropical seasonally dry forest plants impairs future species richness

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Global climate change will likely modify the plant assemblages of the Neotropical seasonally dry forest based on the physiological capabilities of the species. Abstract Neotropical seasonal dry forest (NSDF) is one of the most threatened ecosystems according to global climate change predictions.
