Better understanding of urban microclimate and bioclimate of any city is imperative today when the world is constrained by both urbanisation and global climate change. Urbanisation generally triggers changes in land cover and hence influencing the urban local climate. Dar es Salaam city in Tanzania is one of the fast growing cities. Assessment of its urban climate and the human biometeorologica...

Eleven Tunisian natural populations of Lavandula multifida L., from different geographic regions and bioclimates, were assessed for their variability using six polymorphic loci and 35 terpenoids. Isozymes were revealed by 13% gel electrophoresis. Volatiles were analysed by gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). A high genetic diversity within populations and w...

Global changes are shaping the ecology and biogeography of marine species and their fisheries. Macroecology theory, which deals with large scale relationships between ecology and biogeography, can be used to develop models to predict the effects of global changes on marine species that in turn affect their fisheries. First, based on theories linking trophic energetics and allometric scaling of ...

Precipitation is a key meteorological component that directly related to climate change. Quantifying the changes in precipitation bioclimate crucial planning climate-change adaptation and mitigation measures. Southeast Asia (SEA), home world’s greatest concentration of ecological variety, needs reliable monitoring such changes. This study utilized global-climate models from phase 6 coupled mode...
