Avian haemosporidian and latitudinal gradients: Opportunities and challenges in the Southern Cone of America
(Asociacion Espanola de Ecologia Terrestre, 2020)
Latitudinal diversity gradients (LDG) explain the distribution and species richness in free-living organisms of multiple taxa, where richness increases toward low latitudes. However, parasites have shown inconsistencies ...
Seasonality of mortality in human populations of Chile as related to a climatic gradient
(1984)
Mortality of human populations in Chile was studied from a latitudinal and seasonal perspective, and related to climate and main diseases. Approximately 3 mill. deaths were analyzed. Seasonality considered along a latitudinal ...
Latitudinal variatión in the genetic architecture and gene expressión of physiólogical traits in the land snail cornu aspersum
(2013)
Environmental variation across geographical gradients is a key driver in the evolution of biodiversity, giving rise to genetic and phenotypic variation within species, and affecting survival and reproduction of the organisms. ...
Latitudinal comparison of the thermal biology in the endemic lizard Liolaemus multimaculatus
(Elsevier, 2020-02)
Thermoregulation in ectotherms may be modulated by climatic variability across geographic gradients. Environmental temperature varies along latitudinal clines resulting in heterogeneous thermal resource availability, which ...
The latitudinal diversity gradient in South American mammals revisited using a regional analysis approach: The importance of climate at extra-tropical latitudes and history towards the tropics
(Public Library of Science, 2017-09-05)
The latitudinal diversity gradient has been considered a consequence of a shift in the impact of abiotic and biotic factors that limit species distributions from the poles to the equator, thus influencing species richness ...
Dissimilarity in plant species diversity between salt marsh and neighboring environments decreases as environmental harshness increases
(Inter-research, 2013-12)
How species similarity changes between habitats along environmental gradients is still a central challenge in ecological studies. We assessed whether marsh plant characteristics are associated with geographic changes in ...
Clutch size of Caiman latirostris (Crocodylia: Alligatoridae) varies on a latitudinal gradient
(University of Oradea Publishing House, 2009-01)
The distribution of the Broad-Snouted Caiman (Caiman latirostris) ranges from 5°S to 32°S. Thus, caiman populations are exposed to different climatic conditions, and this latitudinal gradient could affect aspects of their ...
