There is a scarcity of laboratory and field-based results showing the movement of the diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella (L.) across a spatial scale. We studied the population growth of the diamondback moth (DBM) Plutella xylostella (L.) under six constant temperatures, to understand and predict population changes along altitudinal gradients and under climate change scenarios. Non-linea...

Extreme climate events have a greater impact on natural and human systems than average climate. The spatial temporal variation of 16 temperature nine precipitation extremal indices was investigated using the daily maximum minimum surface air records from 113 meteorological stations in China’s arid regions 1960 to 2016. warmth [warm spell duration (WSDI); numbers warm nights, days, tropical nigh...

The frequency and magnitude of extreme events are predicted to increase under future climate change. Despite recent advancements, we still lack a detailed understanding of how changes in the frequency and amplitude of extreme climate events are linked to the temporal and spatial structure of natural communities. To answer this question, we used a combination of laboratory experiments, field exp...

Abstract We present a dataset of daily, bias-adjusted temperature and precipitation projections for continental Africa based on large ensemble regional climate model simulations, which can be useful change impact studies in several sectors. provide guidance the benefits caveats using by investigating effect bias-adjustment impact-relevant indices (both their future absolute value change). Extre...

In consideration of the steady entanglements of viticulture with the environmental features – including climate – it is of concern to project which climatic conditions an area is expected to face in a changing climate scenario. A quantitative approach helps in assessing class shift in climate classification; both “generic” climatic and bioclimatic indices were considered in this study, namely: ...

Climate change is expected to increase climate variability and the occurrence of extreme climatic events, with potentially devastating effects on aquatic ecosystems. However, little is known about the role of climate extremes in structuring aquatic communities or the interplay between climate and local abiotic and biotic factors. Here, we examine the relative influence of climate and local abio...

[1] Although information about climate change and its implications is becoming increasingly available to water utility managers, additional tools are needed to translate this information into secondary products useful for local assessments. The anticipated intensification of the hydrologic cycle makes quantifying changes to hydrologic extremes, as well as associated water quality effects, of pa...
