(
Oxford University Press
, 2020 , Article)
Climate change is expected to affect alpine and Arctic tundra communities. Most previous long-term studies have focused on impacts on vascular plants, this study examined impacts of long-term warming on bryophyte communities. ...
Feminization of hawksbill turtle hatchlings in the twenty-first century at an important regional nesting aggregation
(
Inter Research
, 2021 , Article)
Projected climate change is forecasted to have significant effects on biological systems worldwide. Marine turtles in particular may be vulnerable, as the sex of their offspring is determined by their incubating temperature, ...
