Forcing of Northern Hemisphere Climate Trends

Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2003
The impact of observed global SST trends during the second half of the twentieth century on the Northern Hemisphere extratropical winter atmospheric circulation is investigated using ensembles of simulations with the Center for Ocean‐Land‐Atmosphere Studies (COLA) atmospheric GCM.

Development of the nasal capsule in Emydura subglobosa (Testudines: Pleurodira) with a comparison to other turtles

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Extant turtles occupy freshwater, marine, and terrestrial habitats, and their nasal region provides important evidence for the evolution of respiration‐ and sensory‐related cranial morphology. However, developmental data on the turtle nasal capsule remain limited, particularly in Pleurodira.

Redescription of †Eobrasilia coutoi (Metatheria: Polydolopimorphia), a unique sclerocarpophagous metatherian from the Palaeogene of South America: Systematic affinities, and paleoecological and evolutionary implications

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The ‘Palaeogene strata’ of the Itaboraí Basin (upper Paleocene‐lower Eocene), Southeastern Brazil, has preserved 29 genera and almost 50 species of metatherians (about 65% of its mammalian diversity). Among them, Eobrasilia coutoi Simpson, 1947 is the most enigmatic due to its quite fragmentary nature.

The ionospheric F2 region winter anomaly and its dependence on solar activity in the northern and southern hemisphere.

Geofísica Internacional, 1997
Data from two ionospheric sounders each from the northern and southern hemisphere, are used for a statistical analysis of foF2 monthly medians for summer and winter and high and low solar activity.

A man of his time: Joseph Leidy, racial science, and American anatomy

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Professor Joseph Leidy M.D. was arguably the most influential anatomist in the nineteenth‐century United States, having written over 500 publications and serving as the first President of the Association of American Anatomists. While many of Leidy's diverse contributions to American science and medicine are well‐known, scholars have said much ...

Atypical Cerebellar Responses are Associated with Altered Neural Habituation during Sensory Stimulation in Autism

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sensory processing atypicalities are highly prevalent in autistic youth; yet, the neural mechanisms underlying these differences are not well understood. While the cerebellum plays a key role in sensorimotor coordination and is structurally and functionally atypical in the autistic brain, it has been overlooked in research investigating ...

No trends in spring and autumn phenology during the global warming hiatus

Nature Communications, 2019
A global warming hiatus occurred during 1998 and 2012 but its effects on phenology are unclear. Here the authors examine the trends in spring and autumn phenology in the northern hemisphere and the effects of the warming hiatus and show that phenology ...

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

Assessment of Soil Temperature and Its Change Trends in the Permafrost Regions of the Northern Hemisphere

Land
In this paper, we used data from 42 soil temperature observation sites in permafrost regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere to analyze the characteristics and variability in soil temperature.

Mid-Holocene Intertropical Convergence Zone migration: connection with Hadley cell dynamics and impacts on terrestrial hydroclimate [PDF]

Climate of the Past
This study investigates the multiple changes of the Hadley cell (HC) in response to the northward migration of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and their combined influence on the terrestrial hydrological cycle during the mid-Holocene, using ...
