Climate change is undermining the effectiveness of static reserve systems by shifting species distributions and increasing the opportunity costs of conservation, particularly for land and water under more frequent temper...

Abstract The variability in parasite abundance has an ecological basis; however, from an epidemiological point of view, the contribution of factors inherent to the host to the variability in parasite abundance remains an...

Abstract Background Quantifying bacteria’s growth rates is essential for understanding their ecological roles and for building predictive models in environmental and clinical settings. Peak-to-trough ratios (PTRs) deri...

Abstract Background Comparative genomics and plastome phylogenomics have advanced significantly in recent years, highlighting the diversity, possible admixture, and non-neutral evolution of the predominantly considered n...

Forest ecosystems play a fundamental role in sustaining global water cycles and ecological security, and accurate modeling of their eco-hydrological processes is essential for forest management, watershed regulation, and...

Species distribution modeling has relevant implications for the studies of biodiversity, decision making about conservation and knowledge about ecological requirements of the species. The aim of this study was to evaluat...

Forests play an important role in water and carbon cycles in semiarid regions such as the Mediterranean ecosystems. Previous research in the Chilean Mediterranean forests revealed a break point in 1980 in regional tree-r...

The competition, especially for light, is a fundamental determinant of the structure and composition of a forest. Large-scale forest models must balance real-world complexity with computational demand and poorly constrai...

Flood disasters, with high suddenness, wide impact and severe consequences, severely threaten ecological security, human lives, property and socioeconomic development. Optical remote sensing, though advantageous in spati...

Abstract Background Pacific island countries (PICs), including Fiji, are among the most vulnerable to the health impacts of climate change. In Fiji, acute watery diarrhea (AWD) remains a common communicable disease of pu...

Abstract Background Seasonal variation in cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases (CCD) is well documented, with higher morbidity in winter. Israel’s contrasting climates—Mediterranean in the north and semi-arid ...

ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of human brucellosis and quantify the exposure-lag-response relationships of key socioeconomic and livestock production drivers in Ningxia, China,...

Understanding how socioeconomic development modulates trait–environment linkages in the Anthropocene, particularly its mechanistic role in reshaping the relative importance of climate versus soil drivers, remains poorl...

Forest fragmentation poses a critical threat to ecosystem service functionality, particularly in rapidly urbanizing regions. This study investigates the spatio-temporal dynamics of forest fragmentation and its impacts on...

La coexistencia de especies ecológicamente similares es facilitada por el uso diferencial de recursos como el hábitat, la dieta y/o los gradientes temporales. Utilizamos heces de las especies no nativa conejo (Oryctola...

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to statistically evaluate the performance of the PHYGROW model in simulating the growth of corn and sorghum plants in different locations in the semi-arid region of Ceará State, Brazi...

Abstract Research on the dynamics and driving mechanisms of submerged macrophytes communities during the natural restoration period of lakes with different trophic level remains relatively scarce. This study aims to inve...

Abstract Background Agroforestry, the intentional integration of trees or other woody perennials with crops or livestock in production systems, is being widely promoted as a conservation and development tool to help meet...

Coupled carbon/climate models are predicting changes in Amazon carbon and water cycles for the near future, with conversion of forest into savanna-like vegetation. However, empirical data to support these models are stil...

Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Kazakhstan, like many other formerly socialist countries, experienced a surge in tuberculosis (TB). Despite the successful efforts of Kazakhstan's Ministry of Health in reducin...

The implementation and development of inclusive education are one of the goals of Ukraine’s educational reform, thus training and professional development of teachers involves building skills to teach students with spe...

Clinical exercise professionals (CEPs) play a key role in supporting people with mental and physical health challenges. Yet access to services is inequitable, especially for ‘hard to reach’ or underserved populations...

Se estudió la estructura espacial de poblaciones de herbívoros silvestres -guanacos, choiques y maras- en Península Valdés (PV), Provincia de Chubut. Se utilizaron modelos que dan cuenta de la variación en la abunda...
