Recent climatic trends in the tropical Atlantic

Climate Dynamics, 2014
A homogeneous monthly data set of sea surface temperature (SST) and pseudo wind stress based on in situ observations is used to investigate the climatic trends over the tropical Atlantic during the last five decades (1964–2012). After a decrease of SST by about 1 °C during 1964–1975, most apparent in the northern tropical region, the entire tropical ...

Does the abiotic environment influence the distribution of flower and fruit colors?

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Color in flowers and fruits carries multiple functions, from attracting animal partners (pollinators, dispersers) to mitigating environmental stress (cold, drought, UV‐B). With research historically focusing on biotic interactions as selective agents, however, it remains unclear whether abiotic stressors impact flower and fruit colors ...

Coupled Feedbacks From the Tropical Pacific to the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
The tropical Pacific Ocean is a key regulator of Earth's climate, with teleconnections that influence remote locations all around the world. Here we use partially coupled climate model experiments to show that tropical Pacific cooling related to an ...

Tropical cyclone motion in a changing climate

Science Advances, 2020
Climate models suggest that future anthropogenic warming can slow hurricane motion, including near populated midlatitude regions. The locally accumulated damage by tropical cyclones (TCs) can intensify substantially when these cyclones move more slowly ...

Deciphering fire tolerance of trees at the Amazonia–Cerrado transition by trait‐based approach: Implications from species to communities

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Understanding how fire impacts trees is essential for predicting the effects of novel fire regimes on plant diversity in the transition between the world's two most diverse biomes, the Cerrado and the Amazonia. Here we addressed knowledge gaps regarding physiological damage and mortality in transitional species within fire‐prone ...

Addressing Anemia in High‐Altitude Populations: Global Impact, Prevalence, Challenges, and Potential Solutions

American Journal of Hematology, EarlyView.
Key challenges in diagnosing anemia in high‐altitude populations include variability in hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, associated pathological conditions, altitude‐induced plasma volume changes, and environmental factors such as contamination and nutrition.

Tropical cyclones in climate models

WIREs Climate Change, 2015
In this review, we provide a historical overview of the simulation of tropical cyclones (TCs) in climate models, from the first attempts in the 1970s to the current state‐of‐the‐art models. We discuss the status of TC simulation across multiple time scales, from intraseasonal, seasonal, and decadal, to climate change.

Are there morpho‐acoustic patterns of adaptation in nonhuman primate ears? Testing the role of ecology and habitat in shaping ear morphology and function

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Analysis of the variation in the bony structures of the inner and middle ear provides critical insights into functional morphology, as well as adaptive morphology across primates. In this study, we investigated whether ear morphology patterns are related to the ecological characteristics of species and their habitats to test two acoustic ...

The climate-smart village approach: framework of an integrative strategy for scaling up adaptation options in agriculture

Ecology and Society, 2018
Increasing weather risks threaten agricultural production systems and food security across the world. Maintaining agricultural growth while minimizing climate shocks is crucial to building a resilient food production system and meeting developmental ...
