Body Size and Habitat Association as Determinants for Water Balance, Temperature Relations, and Behavioral Performance in Leptodactylid Frogs

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The association between species' habitat preferences (e.g., aquatic, terrestrial, arboreal) and traits related to body temperature regulation and water balance has been relatively well studied in anurans. However, whether such associations hold for species occupying the same general habitat while differing in other relevant functional ...

Investigating the Impact of El Niño–Southern Oscillation on Rangeland Productivity in the Limpopo Province, South Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study investigated ENSO effects on rainfall variability and rangeland productivity across Limpopo Province, South Africa, using DMP and ONI data for 1999–2024. Productivity was higher in eastern and southern regions and lower in northern and western regions.

Characteristics of Boundary Layer Height Variations in Global Arid Regions and Their Sensitivity to Influencing Energy Factors

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Global warming has intensified drought impacts across most arid regions, altering surface energy partitioning and atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) development. Using 1979–2018 ERA‐Interim reanalysis data, we show that the long‐term mean boundary layer height (BLH) over global arid regions is approximately 841.8 m, nearly 200 m higher than over humid ...

Beyond ENSO: Temperature, Rainfall Variability and Emerging Climate Risks in Belize

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
This study analyses 50 years (1975–2024) of Belize's climate data to evaluate ENSO's influence. Results show negligible ENSO impact on rainfall but a moderate signal in nighttime dry‐season temperatures, with El Niño years 0.5°C–1.0°C warmer than La Niña years.

Assessment of Human Thermal Stress Dynamics and Regional Drivers Across the Arabian Peninsula During 1990–2022 From Observations

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The results reveal that thermal stress varies substantially across the four AP regions, with winter cold stress in Region I, year‐round heat stress in Region II, pronounced summer heat stress in Region III, and persistent strong to very strong heat stress from late spring to early autumn in Region IV.

Climate Indices and Atmospheric Circulation Patterns Linked to East Asian Summer Wet‐Bulb Temperatures

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Summer wet‐bulb temperatures (Tw) have been rising across East Asia in recent decades, reflecting the intensification of humid heat. To isolate internally driven variability from the long‐term warming trend, EOF analysis was performed on linearly detrended Tw, revealing two dominant modes of spatially contrasting variability: a north–south dipole ...
