Geographical Variation in Thermal Adaptation of the Asiatic Toad (Bufo gargarizans)
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Northern and southern populations of Bufo gargarizans exhibit coordinated divergence in thermal preference, resting metabolic rate, and TRPM4 temperature sensitivity along a climatic gradient. ABSTRACT Thermal adaptation in animals can manifest in multiple dimensions, yet few studies have integrated behavioral, physiological, and molecular perspectives

Overheating in Scotland: lessons from 26 monitored low energy homes [PDF]
, 2015 There is growing awareness in the UK that overheating is a significant problem and one that is likely to intensify with climate change, increasing urbanisation, an ageing population and the move towards ‘low energy’ buildings.

Analysis of the impact of overheating on public health in the Mediterranean region [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesClimate change is among the most significant challenges for the next years. Global warming, increased temperatures, heatwaves and urban overheating are among its consequences. European Union (EU) and especially the Mediterranean cities have suffered from

Future of edge AI in biodiversity monitoring
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.Abstract Many ecological decisions are slowed by the gap between collecting and analysing biodiversity information. Edge computing moves data processing closer to the sensor, with edge artificial intelligence (AI) using AI models for data processing and selective data transfer.

Phosphorescent-based pavements for counteracting urban overheating – A proof of concept
Solar Energy, 2020 Abstract The built environment is particularly sensitive to elevated temperatures across urban areas. Furthermore, engineered materials usually amplify surface overheating, exacerbating urban heat island and cooling energy needs. In the last decades, the scientific community introduced a new class of materials, i.e.

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.Abstract The emergence and spread of wildlife diseases requires innovative, practical solutions to help vulnerable species survive in the wild. One promising approach involves exploiting mismatches in environmental tolerances between pathogens and their hosts to reduce disease impacts.

Generative AI, Linguistic Hierarchies and Unequal Access in Under‐Resourced Educational Contexts
International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite growing enthusiasm around generative AI (GenAI) as a transformative force in education, access to these technologies remains profoundly unequal. This qualitative study examines how educators and students in under‐resourced Chinese educational contexts experience unequal access to GenAI and interpret its consequences for language ...
