Evaluating the Air Respiratory Capacity of Awaous (Chonophorus) tajasica (Gobiiformes: Oxudercidae): A Morpho‐Functional Study

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
We demonstrated that Awaous tajasica performs facultative air breathing under experimental conditions of dissolved oxygen limitation, retaining air bubbles in the buccal cavity during gill ventilation. Morpho‐functional evidence indicates the use of atmospheric oxygen as a respiratory support under conditions of low water oxygenation.

Complementarity between Irrigation and Fertilizer Technologies - A Justification for Increased Irrigation Investment in the Less-Favored Areas of SSA [PDF]

There is a downward spiral of declining soil fertility, low crop yield and increasing poverty in the less-favored areas of SSA. The semi-arid tropics of northern Ghana share this episode.

Seasonal Predictions and Their Applications in the Mediterranean Region: Part I—Sources of Predictability and Prediction Skill

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
The ability to predict climate fluctuations at seasonal timescales offers significant socio‐economic benefits. However, limited understanding of predictability mechanisms and model errors hinders forecast quality. Recent research has improved forecasting systems and data quality.

Evapotranspiration Profiles and Trends in Seasonally Dry and Seasonally Humid Tropical Forests

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Moisture availability and vegetation are decisive factors in ET variations, which are greater in the Atlantic Forest. Precipitation contributes positively to ET variations (r = 0.20–0.67). Significant trends (p < 0.05) in ET were identified, with opposing patterns.

Compound Hot‐Dry Days (CHDDs) and Their Implications on Maize Yields in the Free State Province, South Africa

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Compound hot‐dry events occurring during the maize growing period are increasing significantly (p < 0.05) with time, with the median values ranging from 93 to 120 days. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) influences the variability of compound hot‐dry events with high significance (p < 0.05) positive Pearson correlation.
