Impact of iceberg melting on Mediterranean thermohaline circulation during Heinrich events [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Down-core samples of planktonic and benthic foraminifera were analyzed for oxygen and carbon isotopes in International Marine Past Global Changes Study (IMAGES) core MD99-2343 in order to study the interactions between climate change in the Northern ...

Trade‐offs among restored ecosystem functions are context‐dependent in Mediterranean‐type regions

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global biodiversity hotspots, including Mediterranean‐type ecosystems worldwide, are highly threatened by global change that alters biodiversity, ecosystem functions, and services. Some restoration activities enhance ecosystem functions by reintroducing plant species based on known relationships between plant traits and ecosystem processes.

The effects of climate on bat morphology across space and time

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
According to Bergmann's and Allen's rules, climate change may drive morphological shifts in species, affecting body size and appendage length. These rules predict that species in colder climates tend to be larger and have shorter appendages to improve thermoregulation. Bats are thought to be sensitive to climate and are therefore expected to respond to

Living in the edge: demographic responses driven by density‐dependence and pulsed resources in a hibernating mammal

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Populations at the edge of a species' distribution often encounter more challenging environmental conditions than those at the core, requiring unique adaptations and strategies. However, the demographic processes driving these populations remain poorly understood.

Winter precipitation and cyclones in the Mediterranean region: future climate scenarios in a regional simulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Future climate projections show higher/lower winter (Dec-Jan-Feb) precipitation in the northern/southern Mediterranean region than in present climate conditions.

Powerful yet challenging: mechanistic niche models for predicting invasive species potential distribution under climate change

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Risk assessments of invasive species present one of the most challenging applications of species distribution models (SDMs) due to the fundamental issues of distributional disequilibrium, niche changes, and truncation. Invasive species often occupy only a fraction of their potential environmental and geographic ranges, as their spatiotemporal dynamics ...

Impacts of nitrate on the water resources of Malta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
High density of population (1250 persons/km2) and livestock (300 head/km2). • Heavy dependence on groundwater for public supply and agriculture. • Complex landuse with multiple cropping and small landholdings.
