Abstract:
... Regeneration and survival of forested wetlands are affected by environmental variables related to the hydrologic regime. Climate change, specifically alterations to precipitation patterns, may have outsized effects on these forests. In Tennessee, USA, precipitation has increased by 15% since 1960. The goal of our research was to assess the evidence for whether this change in precipitation patterns ...

Subject:
Molineus; climate change; climatic factors; geographical distribution; parasites; parasitology; seasonal variation; stomach; temperature
Abstract:
... Parasites have the potential to negatively affect host populations, if infection intensity is high. For parasites in which part of life cycle takes place outside the host, host infection intensity is likely affected by climate condition. Therefore, the parasite's impact on the host populations could be related to climatic conditions and may be altered with climate change. The aim of our study was ...

Abstract:
... Global rising temperatures due to recent climate change have been linked to long-term reductions in body mass and wing chord in migratory birds, including raptors. The Arctic is experiencing higher temperatures compared to the global mean and such high-latitude increases could influence the morphometrics of the tundra-breeding Rough-legged Hawk (Buteo lagopus). Linear regression models showed no s ...
