Background. A scarcely studied consequence of urbanization is the effect of temporal stabilization of the environment on bird communities. This alteration is thought to dampen environmental variations between day and night, ...

Relative homogenization methods assume that measurements of nearby stations experience similar climate signals and rely therefore on dense station networks with high-temporal correlations. In developing countries such as ...

The aim of this study was to analyze the annual and seasonal rainfall variability, both in its size and spatial distribution to determine rainfall homogeneous regions in the mogi guaçu river basin We used monthly rainfall ...

In this monograph, we use a geostatistical model to analyze count data on the water quality of urban beaches in Natal. In the study, the information provided by 15 monitoring stations distributed along the coast of the ...

High-elevation tropical lakes are excellent sentinels of global change impacts, such as climate warming, land-use change, and atmospheric deposition. These effects are often correlated with temporal and spatial beta diversity ...

Urban expansion to rural and natural areas is a global process. Although several studies have analyzed bird community attributes along urbanization gradients, little is known on the impact of urbanization on temporal ...
