Bioclimatic architecture and Traditional Houses in Diyarbakir [PDF]

open access: yes
Today although a contemporary house or apartment is built with new materials according to technology and regulations to provide a satisfactory microclimate within the building, it is difficult to say they are successful comparing with a house that is ...

Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae), a new record for the flora of Colombia: distribution modeling and conservation assessment

open access: yesNordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Cybianthus anthuriophyllus (Primulaceae) was previously known from eastern Ecuador and northern Peru. Here we document the first confirmed occurrences of this species in Colombia and develop a distribution model based on collections from the Andean–Amazonian foothills of Caquetá, Cauca, and Putumayo departments, in order to clarify its conservation ...

Measuring the impact of different green space layouts on the urban heat island and climate in a semi-arid region: Case of Ain Smara city (Algeria) [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences
The urban microclimate and climate are positively impacted by green spaces in neighbourhoods. Through the creation of a cooling effect via shade and evapotranspiration, they contribute to regulating the urban climate and reducing the urban heat island ...

Bioclimatic dataset of Metropolitan France under current conditions derived from the WorldClim model

open access: yesData in Brief, 2020
Several studies have shown that adequate bioclimatic information is of major importance for mapping ecological niches or for modelling the distribution ranges of species and communities, particularly from a climate change perspective [1,2].

Multivariate Bioclimatic Indices Modelling: A Coregionalised Approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A methodological approach for modelling the spatial multivariate distribution of multiple bioclimatic indices is presented. The value of the indices is modelled by means of a Bayesian conditional coregionalised linear model.

Greater future range expansions in alien than native ant species

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
There is growing concern that many species may not be able to track suitable conditions under climate change and suffer range contractions as a result. At the same time, alien species introduced to novel geographic ranges are often assumed to benefit from climate change.
