County-level USA: No Robust Relationship between Geoclimatic Variables and Cognitive Ability

, 2020
Using a sample of ~3,100 U.S. counties, we tested geoclimatic explanations for why cognitive ability varies across geography. These models posit that geoclimatic factors will strongly predict cognitive ability across geography, even when a variety of ...

Phenotypic Variation and Diversity in Fruit, Leaf, Fatty Acid, and Their Relationships to Geoclimatic Factors in Seven Natural Populations of Malania oleifera Chun et S.K. Lee

Forests, 2022
Malania oleifera Chun et S.K. Lee is an endangered woody oil tree that produces nervonic acid, which is closely related to brain development. The phenotypic variation and diversity in some representative traits in natural populations are poorly understood.

Standardized development objects reconstruction in difficult geoclimatic conditions [PDF]

, 2014
In the article the strategic reconstruction issues of standardized development objects that are in the difficult geo-climatic conditions are examined. The solution of such issues depends on the demographic, social and economic position of the considered ...

Genome-wide SNP association analysis reveals the genomic signature of local adaptation in natural populations of European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.)

Trees, Forests and People
Understanding the dynamics and mechanisms of local adaptation in natural populations provides the basis for predicting responses to environmental changes, including those associated to global climate change.

Cenozoic Tectonics Ignite Mitochondrial Codon Innovations Propelling Canid Body Size Evolution and Transcontinental Radiations

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We decode mitochondrial genomes across all extant canids, revealing lineage‐specific codon optimization driven by altitude, predation, and body size. A tripartite framework integrates geological events, metabolic constraints, and adaptive radiation to explain carnivore evolution.

Adaptation to extreme environments: A review of Antarctic fish physiology

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Having evolved in the chronically cold and thermally stable waters of the Southern Ocean (SO) for millions of years, Antarctic fish possess a suite of physiological specializations that enable them to survive at temperatures near the freezing point of seawater. Adaptations include the evolution of antifreeze proteins, modifications of membrane

Myrtaceae throughout the Espinha\ue7o Mountain Range of centraleastern Brazil: floristic relationships and geoclimatic controls

, 2014
Although biological surveys and taxonomic revisions provide key information to ecological and evolutionary studies, there is a clear lack of floristic and phytogeographic studies of the mountainous regions of Brazil, which harbor some of the most ...
