Exploring Geographical Variation
In this paper, we present national maps of relative rates of mortality associated with short-term exposure to particulate matter < 10 pm in aerodynamic diameter (PM 10). We report results for 88 of the largest metropolitan areas in the United States from 1987 to 1994 for all-cause mortality, combined cardiovascular and respiratory deaths, and other causes of mortality. Maximum likelihood estima...
متن کاملLarge-scale geographical variation confirms that climate change causes birds to lay earlier.
Advances in the phenology of organisms are often attributed to climate change, but alternatively, may reflect a publication bias towards advances and may be caused by environmental factors unrelated to climate change. Both factors are investigated using the breeding dates of 25 long-term studied populations of Ficedula flycatchers across Europe. Trends in spring temperature varied markedly betw...

This study investigated and visualized the geographical differences in general obesity defined by body mass index (BMI) and in abdominal obesity defined by waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) in Finland.

متن کاملEcological correlates of geographical range occupancy in North American birds
Aim The degree to which a species is predictably encountered within its range varies tremendously across species. Understanding why some species occur less frequently within their range than others has important consequences for conservation and for analyses of ecological patterns based on range maps. We examined whether patterns in geographical range occupancy can be explained by species-level...
متن کاملProsody Variation in English: Geographical, Social, Situational
The paper looks at a system of socially significant factors and the ways they affect prosody variation in British and American English. The data are based on a number of doctoral research projects carried out under the first author’s supervision in the years 1995-2003. The aim is to overview new data in search of distinguishing prosodic features which can diagnose regional and social identity. ...
