Abstract:
... Continuous aggravated surface O₃ over North China Plain (NCP) has attracted widely public concern. Herein, we evaluated the effects of changes in aerosols, precursor emissions, and meteorology on O₃ in summer (June) of 2015–2019 over NCP via 8 scenarios with WRF-Chem model. The simulated mean MDA8 O₃ in urban areas of 13 major cities in NCP increased by 17.1%∼34.8%, which matched well with the obs ...

Abstract:
... The epidemiological behaviour of the main extraintestinal complication due to E. histolytica (amoebic liver abscess, ALA) has been little explored in developing countries. Since Mexico meets the characteristics to be considered as endemic, the aim of this work was to analyze the national surveillance data (seven years) of ALA issued by the General Directorate of Epidemiology. An analysis of cases ...

Abstract:
... Bolbitis is a pantropical fern genus of Dryopteridaceae with ca. 80 species mainly in tropical Asia. Earlier studies confirmed the monophyly of Bolbitis when Mickelia is excluded and identified three major clades in Bolbitis. However, earlier studies are based on relatively small sampling and the majority of Asian species are not sampled. In this study, DNA sequences of three plastid markers of 16 ...

Abstract:
... Climate change and land-use changes are the main drivers altering fire regimes and leading to the occurrence of megafires. Current management policies mainly focus on short-term restoration without considering how climate change might affect regeneration dynamics. We aimed to test the usefulness of ecological niche models (ENMs) to integrate the effects of climate change on tree species distributi ...

Abstract:
... Mangroves are prone to receive pollutants and act as a sink for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). However, knowledge of the human health risk of ARGs and its influencing factors in mangrove ecosystems is limited, particularly at large scales. Here, we applied a high-throughput sequencing technique combined with an ARG risk assessment framework to investigate the profiles of ARGs and their public ...

Abstract:

Abstract:
... Species distribution models (SDMs) are widely used in ecology. In theory, SDMs capture (at least part of) species' ecological niches and can be used to make inferences about the distribution of suitable habitat for species of interest. Because habitat suitability is expected to influence population demography, SDMs have been used to estimate a variety of population parameters, from occurrence to g ...

Abstract:
... AIM: A long‐standing question in ecology and biogeography is how the population of a species is distributed across space. The highest abundance has been hypothesized to be in the geographical centre or the niche centre, although mixed patterns from empirical studies have triggered a recent debate. Here, we propose a conceptual framework based on environmental suitability and dispersal to interpret ...

Open-source biodiversity databases contain a large number of species occurrence records but are often spatially biased; which affects the reliability of species distribution models based on these records. Sample bias correction techniques require data filtering which comes at the cost of record numbers, or require considerable additional sampling effort. Since independent data is rarely availab ...

Abstract:

A key tactic is to correlate observed locations with environmental features, in the form of resource selection functions or other correlative species distribution models. In reality, however, the distribution of any population both affects and is affected by those surroundin ...

Abstract:
... Accurate ecological assemblage analysis requires that underlying taxonomic divisions reflect biological reality. However, the validity of many taxonomic hypotheses have never been rigorously confronted with replicable data. As a result, these categories might say more about human psychology than biology. We consider here the ways that statistically unchallenged taxonomic concepts can bias observed ...
