The gut microbiota facilitate their host tolerance to extreme temperatures [PDF]

BMC Microbiology
Background Exposure to extreme cold or heat temperature is one leading cause of weather-associated mortality and morbidity in animals. Emerging studies demonstrate that the microbiota residing in guts act as an integral factor required to modulate host ...

Extreme Temperatures in the Antarctic [PDF]

Journal of Climate, 2021
AbstractWe present the first Antarctic-wide analysis of extreme near-surface air temperatures based on data collected up to the end of 2019 as part of the synoptic meteorological observing programs. We consider temperatures at 17 stations on the Antarctic continent and nearby sub-Antarctic islands. We examine the frequency distributions of temperatures

The interactive effects of extreme temperatures and PM_2.5 pollution on mortalities in Jiangsu Province, China. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
Exposure to extreme temperatures or fine particles is associated with adverse health outcomes but their interactive effects remain unclear. We aimed to explore the interactions of extreme temperatures and PM_2.5 pollution on mortalities.

Extreme Temperatures and Stroke Mortality: Evidence From a Multi-Country Analysis. [PDF]

Stroke
BACKGROUND: Extreme temperatures contribute significantly to global mortality. While previous studies on temperature and stroke-specific outcomes presented conflicting results, these studies were predominantly limited to single-city or single-country ...

Extreme Temperatures and Firm-Level Stock Returns. [PDF]

Int J Environ Res Public Health, 2021
By linking stock returns with weather conditions from 2007 to 2019 in China, we study how firm-level stock returns react to extreme temperatures. Based on a multivariate ordinary least squares regression model with fixed effects, empirical results show ...
