Modeling influenza seasonality in the tropics and subtropics
medRxiv, 2021 Climate drivers such as humidity and temperature may play a key role in influenza seasonal transmission dynamics. Such a relationship has been well defined for temperate regions.

Progressive ontogenetic niche shift over the prolonged immaturity period of wandering albatrosses [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Very little is known about trophic ontogenetic changes over the prolonged immaturity period of long-lived, wide-ranging seabirds. By using blood and feather trophic tracers (δ13C and δ15N, and mercury, Hg), we studied age-related changes in feeding ...

The Dynamical Subtropical Front [PDF]
Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, 2013 [1] The Southern Ocean Subtropical Front (STF) is thought to play a key role in the global climate system. Theory suggests that the latitude of the STF regulates the volume of saline Agulhas Leakage into the Atlantic Ocean from the Indian. Here we use satellite sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH) data to study the physical ...

Modeling Catchment-Scale Nitrogen Losses Across a Land-Use Gradient in the Subtropics
Frontiers in Earth Science, 2020 Changing land use in subtropical and tropical catchments to farmland can result in higher nitrogen (N) loss to aquatic ecosystems. Here, we developed a lumped water and N balance model to estimate regional N losses to creeks at catchment scale within ...

Subtropical and flower crops breeding at the Subtropical Scientific Centre
Vavilov Journal of Genetics and Breeding, 2021 This paper presents the results on the breeding work carried out by the Subtropical Scientific Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Currently, the Centre’s breeders are doing a lot of work aimed at breeding new fine yielding cultivars of subtropical and flower crops that will be resistant to growing conditions; they include kaki persimmon, feijoa,
