Climate Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies for Roofs and Pavements. A Case Study at Sapienza University Campus [PDF]
, 2018 The progressively emerging concept of urban resilience to climate change highlights the importance of mitigation and adaptation measures, and the need to integrate urban climatology in the design process, in order to better understand the multiple ...

Recovery from bleaching is mediated by threshold densities of background thermo-tolerant symbiont types in a reef-building coral [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 Sensitive molecular analyses show that most corals host a complement of Symbiodinium genotypes that includes thermo-tolerant types in low abundance. While tolerant symbiont types are hypothesized to facilitate tolerance to temperature and recovery from ...

Physiological Adaptation in Desert Birds [PDF]
BioScience, 2005 We call into question the idea that birds have not evolved unique physiological adaptations to desert environments. The rate at which desert larks metabolize energy is lower than in mesic species within the same family, and this lower rate of living translates into a lower overall energy requirement in the wild.

Adaptation and acclimatization to ocean acidification in marine ectotherms: an in situ transplant experiment with polychaetes at a shallow CO₂ vent system [PDF]
, 2013 Metabolic rate determines the physiological and life-history performances of ectotherms. Thus, the extent to which such rates are sensitive and plastic to environmental perturbation is central to an organism's ability to function in a changing ...

A reinforcement learning theory for homeostatic regulation [PDF]
, 2011 Reinforcement learning models address animal’s behavioral adaptation to its changing “external” environment, and are based on the assumption that Pavlovian, habitual and goal-directed responses seek to maximize reward acquisition.

Emerging role of angiogenesis in adaptive and maladaptive right ventricular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
, 2018 Right ventricular (RV) function is the primary prognostic factor for both morbidity and mortality in pulmonary hypertension (PH). RV hypertrophy is initially an adaptive physiological response to increased overload; however, with persistent and/or ...
