Quantifying the unrecorded loss of avian phylogenetic diversity

Ecography, EarlyView.
Humans have drastically reduced avian diversity, with the majority of extinctions occurring on islands. Previous studies have quantified various aspects of this decline, including both taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity loss due to recorded extinctions.

Patterns of SSS Variability in the Eastern Tropical Pacific: Intraseasonal to Interannual Timescales from Seven Years of NASA Satellite Data [PDF]

Oceanography, 2019
Sea surface salinity (SSS) observations from NASA’s satellite missions, Aquarius/SAC-D and Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP), are used to describe spatial patterns of the seasonal cycle, as well as intraseasonal and interannual variability, in the ...

The impact of tropical SST variability on the northern hemisphere circumglobal teleconnection pattern

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2023
Tropical-extratropical teleconnection during boreal summer is characterized by a circumglobal teleconnection (CGT) pattern and is often considered as one of the major predictability sources of extratropical atmospheric circulation.

Indirect effects of fast‐growing urban development on wildlife in a coastal protected area of Costa Rica

The Journal of Wildlife Management, EarlyView.
We studied the effects of urban growth on wildlife near Parque Nacional Marino las Baulas, Costa Rica. Since 1991, buildings increased 1007%, mainly in the buffer zone. We identified eight native species extracting garbage from containers, with raccoons (Procyon lotor) comprising most detections (84%), and four other species being potential sea turtle ...

High prediction skill of decadal tropical cyclone variability in the North Atlantic and East Pacific in the met office decadal prediction system DePreSys4

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science
The UK Met Office decadal prediction system DePreSys4 shows skill in predicting the number of tropical cyclones (TCs) and TC track density over the eastern Pacific and tropical Atlantic Ocean on the decadal timescale (up to ACC = 0.93 and ACC = 0.83 ...

Present-day warm pool constrains future tropical precipitation

Communications Earth & Environment, 2022
Climate models with a large present-day Indo-Pacific warm pool project a weak Walker circulation and associated intense future rainfall in the central-to-eastern tropical Pacific, suggests an analysis of simulations with a suite of climate models.

Sediment trap preservative choice impacts particle‐associated microbial community composition

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Understanding and quantifying the microbial contribution to particulate organic matter (POM) flux and carbon cycling in the ocean relies largely on the collection of sinking POM. A critical aspect of evaluating microbial communities on sediment trap‐collected POM is their preservation until recovery and sample processing.

The Global Burden of Leukemia, 1990–2021: A Systematic Analysis of Prevalence, DALYs, and Risk Factors From the Global Burden of Disease Study

Med Research, EarlyView.
Using data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021, we systematically assessed leukemia prevalence and disability‐adjusted life years (DALYs) across 204 countries and territories from 1990 to 2021, stratified by subtype, demographics, and risk factors.

Pinguicula brendae (Lentibulariaceae) sp. nov., a carnivorous plant from a tropical montane cloud forest in Hidalgo, Mexico

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
A new species of Lentibulariaceae, Pinguicula brendae Rodríguez‐Ramírez, H.Shimai & A.R. Andrés‐Hernández, is described based on its unique morphological characteristics. This species is restricted to limestone rock walls in the San Bartolo Tutotepec municipality, central‐eastern Hidalgo, Mexico, where it inhabits a single locality on vertical, north ...

Increased Amazon Basin wet-season precipitation and river discharge since the early 1990s driven by tropical Pacific variability

Environmental Research Letters, 2021
The Amazon Basin, the largest watershed on Earth, experienced a significant increase in wet-season precipitation and high-season river discharge from the early 1990s to early 2010s.
