Comparison of thermal performance between green roofs and conventional roofs

Case Studies in Thermal Engineering, 2020
The present study compares the thermal performance of two buildings, one with a conventional roof and another with a green roof. In order to achieve this, a transient mathematical model is developed which considers the heat transfer through the walls and

How vulnerable are amphibians to climate change? A mechanistic perspective

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Amphibians are frequently identified as highly vulnerable to climate change, yet the mechanisms driving this sensitivity remain uncertain. Approaches that explicitly link physiological mechanisms to environmental variation provide powerful tools for forecasting climate ...

From steps to home ranges: How habitat disturbance influences the movement drivers of an arboreal primate

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Challenging the narrative about howler monkeys' high resilience to anthropogenic changes, our multiscale analysis reveals the costs of habitat disturbance to their movement ecology. We identify thermal limitations, reduced travel efficiency, and significant spatial saturation.

Exploring the exploration: implications of leaving or remaining at the natal site during the early stages of independence in a partially migratory bird

Ibis, EarlyView.
Despite being an important fraction of any animal population, juveniles are a severely understudied group. Juveniles often need to learn an array of skills that allow them to survive independently and do so while undertaking decisions that may impact their fitness, recruitment and survival, having therefore relevant demographic implications.
