Variations in household microclimate affect outdoor-biting behaviour of malaria vectors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Mosquito behaviours including the degree to which they bite inside houses or outside is a crucial determinant of human exposure to malaria.

The influence of tree age and microhabitat quality on the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Questions: How do tree age, microhabitat characteristics and epiphytic competitors affect the occurrence of crustose lichens associated with old oaks? How do microhabitat characteristics and microclimate affect the cover of competitors (bryophytes and ...

External temperature and distance from nearest entrance influence microclimates of cave and culvert‐roosting tri‐colored bats (Perimyotis subflavus)

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Many North American bat species hibernate in both natural and artificial roosts. Although hibernacula can have high internal climate stability, they still retain spatial variability in their thermal regimes, resulting in various “microclimates ...

Differences in the Influence of Microclimate on Pedestrian Volume According to Land-Use

open access: yesLand, 2021
Identifying how the urban environment affects pedestrian volume is a traditional urban planning topic. Recently, because of climate change and air pollution, interest in the effects of urban microclimates has been increasing.

Mechanistic and Correlative Models of Ecological Niches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The suite of factors that drives where and under what conditions a species occurs has become the focus of intense research interest. Three general categories of methods have emerged by which researchers address questions in this area ...

LAI based trees selection for mid latitude urban developments: A microclimatic study in Cairo, Egypt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
To study the leaf area index, LAI, based thermal performance in distinguishing trees for Cairo's urban developments, ENVI-met plants database was used as platform for a foliage modeling parameter, the leaf area density, LAD.

Rice panicle temperature and crop microclimate in stressful thermal environments: toward a model of spikelet sterility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Rice inflorescences are sensitive to chilling and heat, resulting in spikelet sterility. It is not the air temperature itself, however, that causes the stress but the temperature of the sensitive tissues during specific developmental stages.

Land cover affects microclimate and temperature suitability for arbovirus transmission in an urban landscape.

open access: yesPLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020
The emergence of mosquito-transmitted viruses poses a global threat to human health. Combining mechanistic epidemiological models based on temperature-trait relationships with climatological data is a powerful technique for environmental risk assessment.
