Beyond buying time: the role of plasticity in phenotypic adaptation to rapid environmental change

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019
How populations and species respond to modified environmental conditions is critical to their persistence both now and into the future, particularly given the increasing pace of environmental change.

The role of storage capacity in coping with intra- and inter-annual water variability in large river basins

Environmental Research Letters, 2015
Societies and economies are challenged by variable water supplies. Water storage infrastructure, on a range of scales, can help to mitigate hydrological variability.

Non-destructive estimation of field maize biomass using terrestrial lidar: an evaluation from plot level to individual leaf level

Plant Methods, 2020
Background Precision agriculture is an emerging research field that relies on monitoring and managing field variability in phenotypic traits. An important phenotypic trait is biomass, a comprehensive indicator that can reflect crop yields.

Interacting for the environment:Engaging Goffman in pro-environmental action [PDF]

, 2016
Whilst there are profound disagreements about how more sustainable forms of living might be achieved, most research on pro-environmental action recognises it as a fundamentally social challenge – demanding shifts not merely in individuals’ attitudes and ...

Antarctic environmental change and biological responses

Science Advances, 2019
Climate change threatens Antarctica. Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean are facing complex environmental change. Their native biota has adapted to the region’s extreme conditions over many millions of years. This unique biota is now challenged

Monsoon differences in South Asia and East Asia during the penultimate deglaciation revealed by speleothem oxygen isotopes

Scientific Reports
Difference between the South Asian Summer Monsoon (SASM) and East Asian Summer Monsoon (EASM) is observed in modern climate variations, but remains unclear on the orbital timescales.

A Conceptual Framework for Range-Expanding Species that Track Human-Induced Environmental Change

BioScience, 2019
For many species, human-induced environmental changes are important indirect drivers of range expansion into new regions. We argue that it is important to distinguish the range dynamics of such species from those that occur without, or with less clear,

Sickle Cell Disease Is an Inherent Risk for Asthma in a Sibling Comparison Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Sickle cell disease (SCD) and asthma share a complex relationship. Although estimates vary, asthma prevalence in children with SCD is believed to be comparable to or higher than the general population. Determining whether SCD confers an increased risk for asthma remains challenging due to overlapping symptoms and the ...
