Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Spatiotemporally Explicit Epidemic Model for West Nile Virus Outbreak in Germany: An Inversely Calibrated Approach

Journal of Epidemiology and Global Health
Since the first autochthonous transmission of West Nile Virus was detected in Germany (WNV) in 2018, it has become endemic in several parts of the country and is continuing to spread due to the attainment of a suitable environment for vector occurrence ...

Latitudinal effect on the structure of snake–prey interaction networks is mediated by snake species richness

Ecography, EarlyView.
Despite the growing number of studies on trophic networks in recent decades, there are still important gaps in our understanding of how these networks are structured across broad environmental gradients. These gaps are even greater in some groups of terrestrial vertebrates, such as snakes, requiring a cohesive synthesis of their broader trophic ...
