Destination Climate Adaptation [PDF]
Journal of Hospitality & Tourism Research, 2018 A key element in the product mix of destinations is climate. Climate represents a critical part of a destination’s economic and resource base such that changes in climate will trigger human responses in terms of demand and the type of activities that the climate will support. This threatens the competitiveness, sustainability, and economic viability of

Obesity and climate adaptation [PDF]
Evolution, Medicine, and Public Health, 2019 Obesity is a pandemic that has increased exponentially during the past decades due in large part to recent changes in lifestyle and food delivery systems. Yet, there is still a great variability in the burden of obesity across ancestral populations. For example, in the USA prevalence estimates of adult obesity vary from 13 to 48% in Asian Americans and

The Climate Adaptation Frontier [PDF]
Sustainability, 2013 Climate adaptation has emerged as a mainstream risk management strategy for assisting in maintaining socio-ecological systems within the boundaries of a safe operating space. Yet, there are limits to the ability of systems to adapt. Here, we introduce the concept of an “adaptation frontier”, which is defined as a socio-ecological system’s transitional ...

ADAPTATION TO TEMPERATE CLIMATES [PDF]
Evolution, 2004 Only model organisms live in a world of endless summer. Fitness at temperate latitudes reflects the ability of organisms in nature to exploit the favorable season, to mitigate the effects of the unfavorable season, and to make the timely switch from one life style to the other.
