Macroevolutionary processes in turtles (Testudines): a view from biomic specialization and historical climatic changes

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution
The resource-use hypothesis proposed by Elisabeth S. Vrba suggests that lineages display varying tendencies toward generalism or specialization in biome occupancy, with a tendency towards the accumulation of specialists due to their higher rate of ...

Conforto térmico de bovinos da raça nelore a pasto sob diferentes condições de sombreamento e a pleno sol Thermal comfort of nelore bovine in pasture under several lighting conditions

Engenharia Agrícola, 2009
Principalmente em regiões de clima quente, a produção bovina sob condições de pasto pode ser melhorada com o uso de sombra natural para minimizar o estresse por calor. Desse modo, o objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o efeito do estresse térmico por

Climate‐Induced Severe Water Scarcity Events as Harbingers of Global Wheat Price

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract This study connects the dots between global extent of severe water scarcity (SWS) events and spikes in food price. The authors start with three staple crops (rice, wheat, and maize) using a empirical but crop specific characterization of severe water scarcity occurrence, which is defined based on the area of land cultivated with each studied ...

Latitudinal Gradients in Position and Climatology of Upper Tree Limits Across Europe

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The upper tree limit (UTL) marks the upper boundary of the realized niche of trees. It is commonly located below the treeline, which represents the cold boundary of the fundamental niche of trees. We hypothesized that the elevational offset between the UTL and the treeline is partly systematic and can be predicted using topographic and ...
