When tropical and subtropical congeners met: Multiple ancient hybridization events within Eriobotrya in the Yunnan‐Guizhou Plateau, a tropical‐subtropical transition area in China [PDF]
Molecular Ecology, 2021 AbstractGlobal climate changes during the Miocene may have created ample opportunities for hybridization between members of tropical and subtropical biomes at the boundary between these zones. Yet, very few studies have explored this possibility. The Yunnan‐Guizhou Plateau (YGP) in Southwest China is a biodiversity hotspot for vascular plants, located ...

Serological Survey of Hantavirus in Inhabitants from Tropical and Subtropical Areas of Brazil [PDF]
Advances in Virology, 2016 Brazil has reported more than 1,600 cases of hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HPS) since 1993, with a 39% rate of reported fatalities. Using a recombinant nucleocapsid protein ofAraraquaravirus, we performed ELISA to detect IgG antibodies against hantavirus in human sera.

Predicted protected area downsizing impedes conservation progress across terrestrial ecoregions in the tropics and subtropics [PDF]
Conservation Science and Practice, 2021 AbstractProtected areas remain a key tool in the fight against biodiversity loss and have expanded rapidly in recent decades. However, protected areas are also increasingly experiencing downsizing events that reduce the total amount of area legally under protection.

Stalagmite water content as a proxy for drip water supply in tropical and subtropical areas [PDF]
Climate of the Past, 2012 Abstract. In this pilot study water was extracted from samples of two Holocene stalagmites from Socotra Island, Yemen, and one Eemian stalagmite from southern continental Yemen. The amount of water extracted per unit mass of stalagmite rock, termed "water yield" hereafter, serves as a measure of its total water content.

The Survival Crisis Faced by Coastal Ecosystems In Tropical and Subtropical Areas
Proceedings of the Symposium on Global Environment, 2000 In tropical and subtropical coastal areas, there are unique ecosystems in which the land hermit crab plays an important roll. Recent land developments have forced them into a survival crisis, particularly around the Okinawan islands in southern Japan.The islands of Okinawa used to be surrounded by cobalt color reef seas and abundant ecosystems, of ...

Incidence of respiratory viruses among travelers with a febrile syndrome returning from tropical and subtropical areas [PDF]
Journal of Medical Virology, 2008 AbstractFifty million people are estimated to travel from industrial countries to the tropics annually. In spite of exhaustive studies and widely different diagnosis among returned patients, some cases of febrile illnesses remain without an etiological diagnosis, suggesting that these cases could be due to viral respiratory tract infections.

The Relationship between Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Area and Environmental Conditions over the Subtropical Oceans [PDF]
Journal of Climate, 2018 In this study, the variation of tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall area over the subtropical oceans is investigated using the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission precipitation data collected from 1998 to 2014, with a focus on its relationship with environmental conditions. In the subtropics, higher moving speed and larger vertical wind shear significantly
