Parameter identification approach to represent building thermal dynamics reducing tuning time of control system gains: A case study in a tropical climate

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2022
As one of the main consumers of primary energy globally, buildings have been among the main targets for implementing energy efficiency solutions, such as building control strategies that maintain occupant comfort and reduce operating costs. The design of

Linking community structure and climate vulnerability in desert plant assemblages of southern California

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Desert plant assemblages in southern California provide an opportunity to link patterns of community structure with climate‐driven vulnerability in a rapidly changing environment. California sustains an exceptionally diverse flora of approximately 4300 plant species, with 31% identified as endemic.

How bio-inspired solutions have influenced the built environment design in hot and humid climates

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2023
The rapid increase in the population, which has been concentrated mainly in urban areas, has caused an environmental imbalance over the years since the built environment developed as a foreign element to the ecosystem, which prevents having resilient ...

Origin, evolution and biogeographic dynamics of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) in Southwestern Europe

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The Pleistocene is a key period for understanding the evolutionary history and palaeobiogeography of the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus). The species was first documented in southeastern Iberia at the beginning of the Middle Pleistocene and appears to have rapidly spread throughout Southwestern Europe, where it was found in numerous ...

Multivariate Analysis of the Bioclimatic and Soil Determinants That Model the Distribution of Bidens pilosa L. in Veracruz, Mexico

Grasses
Bidens pilosa L. is a cosmopolitan and invasive weed that strongly impacts agricultural systems in tropical regions. In Veracruz, Mexico, its presence extends mainly across mid-elevation zones where coffee, maize, and sugarcane are cultivated. This study

Adaptive Genomic Divergence Across Altitudes in Capsella bursa‐pastoris

Biological Diversity, EarlyView.
Genomic divergence was observed between high‐altitude and low‐altitude populations of Capsella bursa‐pastoris in China, consistent with an important role of ecological factors. Candidate adaptive loci associated with enhanced energy metabolism, photoprotection, and growth plasticity under altitudinal stress were identified.

N‐SDM 2.0: a reengineered software with extended features for nested species distribution modelling

Ecography, EarlyView.
Species distribution models (SDMs) are central tools for predicting and forecasting how species respond to environmental changes, yet their reliability depends on accurately capturing ecological processes across spatial scales while accounting for uneven data availability and resolution.

Extrapolation strategy matters when transferring ecological niche models: new visualization tools for informed decisions

Ecography, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are commonly used to predict species' potential distributions across space and time, allowing researchers and practitioners to assess invasion risk, estimate the impacts of future climate change, and reconstruct past distributions.

Effect of bio‐fertilization and edapho‐climatic conditions on chickpea nodulation, grain yields, and seed protein in a Mediterranean context: a meta‐analysis approach

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Chickpeas (Cicer arietinum L.) serve as a protein‐rich staple, particularly in Mediterranean countries, where they are often grown in marginal and water‐stressed areas. This meta‐analysis synthesized evidence from peer‐reviewed publications across Mediterranean countries to assess how chickpea rhizobial inoculation influences chickpea ...

Linking distribution and return‐on‐investment models to optimize woody management for prairie grouse in Nebraska

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We modeled prairie grouse abundance across Nebraska and projected future woody encroachment to estimate population losses. By combining predicted gains from woody treatments with avoided losses and treatment costs, we mapped return on investment to identify areas for woody treatments that maximize benefits to greater prairie‐chickens and sharp‐tailed ...
