Projected changes in climate conditions are emerging as significant risk factors to numerous species, affecting habitat conditions and community interactions. Projections suggest species range shifts in response to climate change modifying environmental suitability and is supported by observational evidence. Both pathogens and their hosts can shift ranges with climate change. We consider how cl...

Traffic and census tract population projections are analyzed using ArcGIS to estimate future potable water demands for the City of Tucson, Arizona. The estimated demands are applied to Tucson Water’s current hydraulic model using Haestad Methods’ WaterGEMS software. The model is then used to determine what facility and piping modifications will be required to meet growth within current service ...

The superior colliculus (SC) is responsible for sensorimotor transformations required to direct gaze toward or away from unexpected, biologically salient events. Significant changes in the external world are signaled to SC through primary multisensory afferents, spatially organized according to a retinotopic topography. For animals, where an unexpected event could indicate the presence of eithe...

Climate change, socioeconomic development, and irrigation management are exacerbating water scarcity in many regions worldwide. However, current global-scale modeling approaches used to evaluate the impact of these factors on resources limited by coarse resolution simplified representation local agricultural systems, which hinders their use for regional decision making. Here, we upgraded simula...
