Thermal Ecology and Thermoregulatory Behavior of the Invasive Turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans, in the Mediterranean Basin

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The success of invasive species, which pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, hinges on their physiological and ecological adaptive capacities to the environments into which they are introduced. Trachemys scripta elegans (T. scripta elegans), recognized as one of the world's 100 most invasive species, has spread across a wide ...

Assessing the Performance of the Copernicus European Regional Reanalysis Dataset in Reproducing Extreme Weather Events in Poland

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Global reanalyses, for example ERA5 and ERA5‐Land, tend to misrepresent the local‐scale weather extremes due to the limited spatial resolution. In this paper CERRA shows clear and consistent improvements over ERA5 and ERA5‐Land in representing extreme temperature and precipitation in Poland, particularly for localized and short‐lived heavy rainfall ...

Climatology and Trends of Sub‐Daily Precipitation Extremes in Croatia

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Sub‐daily extreme precipitation indices reveal pronounced spatial variability, with the highest intensities and frequencies across the Adriatic region and the highlands. Seasonal and diurnal patterns highlight distinct regional behaviour, including summer maxima over the continental interior and nocturnal or early‐morning peaks along the Adriatic coast.

Spatiotemporal Changes and Climate Driving Factors of Compound Precipitation‐Temperature Extreme Events Across Global Land Areas

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
During the period 1901–2024, the dominant proportion of compound dry‐warm extremes in annual, June–July–August (JJA), and December–January–February (DJF) occurrences was the highest among the four types of compound precipitation and temperature extremes across global land areas, accounting for 40.1%, 50.3%, and 28.0%, respectively.

Evaluation of a piloted digital reproductive health registry in Jordan to improve mother and child health

Reproductive Health
Background Primary data on antenatal care services in Jordan are stored in diverse systems among hospitals and Mother & Child Health (MCH) centers. The resulting information flow gaps between healthcare levels challenge the quality and continuity of MCH ...

Climatic Drivers of the Area Burned by Winter Wildfires in Northern Italy

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study investigates winter wildfires occurring between November and April in northern Italy over the period 2008–2022. By integrating high‐resolution burned‐area data with gridded climatic indices derived from 150 weather stations, it identifies spatial and temporal wildfire patterns, highlights the most fire‐prone mountain areas through pixel ...

A Zonal‐Meridional Projection Method for Quantifying Global Land‐Ocean Moisture Transport

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
We present a physically consistent and computationally efficient method to quantify global coastal moisture transport by projecting vertically integrated moisture flux onto signed land–ocean boundary segments. The signed projection naturally distinguishes ocean‐to‐land inflow and land‐to‐ocean outflow without explicit directional classification ...

Low‐Intensity Precipitation Dominates Peninsular Spain (1961–2022)

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Spatial analysis across Spain shows a shift in precipitation regimes (1961–2022) toward more frequent low‐intensity precipitation and reduced high‐intensity events, with localised increases in heavy precipitation along some coastal areas. This redistribution—captured through changes in precipitation frequency (RF) and volumetric contribution (RC ...

Multi‐Timescale Drought Evolution in Greece (1960–2022) From Station‐Based SPI and SPEI

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Using homogenized data from 67 HNMS stations in Greece (1960–2022), we calculated SPI and SPEI at 1–12‐month scales to characterize meteorological to hydrological drought. We quantified the network‐based spatial extent of drought, compared SPI and SPEI drought signals, and tested changes with autocorrelation‐robust Mann–Kendall trends and Pettitt ...
