Implications of human induced changes on the distribution of important plant species in the northwestern coastal desert of Egypt

Renewable Energy and Sustainable Development, 2015
The application of species distribution modeling in deserts is a useful tool for mapping species and assessing the impact of human induced changes on individual species.

Reconfiguring Fresh Produce Supply Chains in Response to Drought Risk: Evidence From the U.S. Broccoli Market

Agribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought is among the most severe and persistent threats to food supply chains, and relocating production to less drought‐prone regions offers a strategy to reduce this risk. This is particularly relevant for fresh vegetables, which are highly water‐intensive, yet drought‐driven reconfiguration strategies remain understudied.

Loco or no Loco? Holocene Climatic Fluctuations, Human Demography, and Community Based Management of Coastal Resources in Northern Chile

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2017
The abundance of the southern Pacific mollusk loco (Concholepas concholepas), among other conspicuous marine supplies, are often cited as critical resources behind the long-term cultural and demographic fluctuations of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in the

Success of coastal sage scrub restoration is influenced by local adaptations of shrub species

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Restoring plant communities is increasingly challenging with climate change. While practitioners have traditionally used local seed sources, many are recommending assisted migration, possibly from more extreme environments such as inland rather than coastal environments, for restoration.

Predicting the future impact of climate change on the distribution of species in Egypt’s mediterranean ecosystems

BMC Plant Biology
As climate change accelerates, it may significantly alter species distributions and endanger many species. The use of species distribution modeling (SDM) has become increasingly vital for assessing the likely effects of climatic changes on biodiversity ...

Myxomycete diversity in the coastal desert of Peru with emphasis on the lomas formations

Anales del Jardín Botánico de Madrid, 2016
Results obtained from the first survey for myxomycetes in the hyperarid areas of Peru are reported. Sampling over three consecutive years was carried out at 96 localities between 0 and 1500 m elevation. A total of 78 species from 23 genera in all 6 myxomycete orders were determined from 723 collections of myxomycetes.

Unraveling a Diagnostic Enigma: A TECPR2 Case Solved Through Multi‐Omic Genomics

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT TECPR2 is a key regulator of autophagy, encoded by the TECPR2 gene. Pathogenic variants in this gene have been linked to a rare hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy with intellectual disability (HSAN9). We report a teenage female with a syndromic intellectual disability disorder associated with neuromuscular abnormalities.

Pollen Limitation and Reproductive Assurance in the Flora of the Coastal Atacama Desert

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2010
Pollen limitation (PL) in plant populations is supposed to be particularly strong in variable pollinator environments. Here, we examined the extent of PL in the coastal Atacama Desert, where low and unpredictable rainfall drives large interannual variation in plant cover and pollinator abundances.

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 ...
