American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Species of Deuterocohnia (17 spp.) show extraordinary variation in elevation (0–3900 m a.s.l.) and growth forms, and many have narrow geographic distributions in the west‐central Andes and the Peru‐Chile coast. Previous research using few plastid and nuclear loci failed to produce well‐resolved or supported phylogenies.

Local‐Regional Similarity in Drylands Increases During Multiyear Wet and Dry Periods and in Response to Extreme Events [PDF]
, 2019 Climate change is predicted to impact ecosystems through altered precipitation (PPT) regimes. In the Chihuahuan Desert, multiyear wet and dry periods and extreme PPT pulses are the most influential climatic events for vegetation. Vegetation responses are

ENSO and Extreme Rainfall Events in South America
Journal of Climate, 2009 Abstract The influence of the opposite phases of ENSO on the frequency of extreme rainfall events over South America is analyzed for each month of the ENSO cycle on the basis of a large set of daily station rainfall data and compared with the influence of ENSO on the monthly total rainfall.

Bayesian Changepoint Analysis of the Extreme Rainfall Events [PDF]
Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, 2012 Problem statement: This study assesses recent changes in extremes of annual rainfall in Peninsular Malaysia based on daily rainfall data fo r 50 rain-gauged stations over the period 1975-2004 . Approach: Eight indices that represent the extreme events ar e defined and analyzed, which are extreme Dry Spell (XDS), extreme Rain-Sum (XRS), extreme wet-day ...

Applications in Plant Sciences, EarlyView.Abstract Premise The censer seed dispersal mechanism, whereby mature fruits are retained on plants and seeds dispersed by mechanical shaking, is among the most specialized wind‐aided seed dispersal strategies employed by the flowering plants. An efficient, affordable, and easily repeatable protocol for determining whether a species uses this unusual ...
