Expression patterns of melanin‐related genes are linked to crypsis and conspicuousness in a pumpkin toadletNARA Subscribed
Colour signals play pivotal roles in different communication systems, and the evolution of these characters has been associated with behavioural ecology, integumentary production processes and perceptual mechanisms of the species involved. Here, we present the first insight into the molecular and histological basis of skin colour polymorphism within a miniaturized species of pumpkin toadlet, potentially representing the lowest...
Use of fractal models to define the scaling behavior of the aquifers’ parameters at the mesoscaleNARA Subscribed
We present an experimental study aiming at the identification of the hydraulic conductivity in an aquifer which was packed according to four different configurations. The conductivity was estimated by means of slug tests, whereas the other parameters were determined by the grain size analysis. Prior to the fractal we considered the dependence of the conductivity upon the porosity through a power (scaling) law which was found i...
High‐resolution temperature climatology for Italy: interpolation method intercomparisonNARA Subscribed
High‐resolution monthly temperature climatologies for Italy are presented. They are based on a dense and quality‐controlled observational dataset which includes 1484 stations and on three distinct approaches: multi‐linear regression with local improvements ( MLRLI ), an enhanced version of the model recently used for the Greater Alpine Region, regression kriging ( RK ), widely used in literature and, lastly, local weighted lin...
High‐resolution analysis of daily precipitation trends in the central Alps over the last centuryNARA Subscribed
In this work we present a homogenized high‐resolution data set composed of 200 daily precipitation series spanning the last 90 years, located over an area centred on the Trentino—South Tyrol region (central part of the European Alps), in a transition zone between the climates of the southern and northern slopes of the Alps. We analysed the trends of total precipitation (TP), wet days (WD) and average intensity (PI), as well as...
Improving estimation of missing values in daily precipitation series by a probability density function‐preserving approachNARA Subscribed
This work presents a novel method for estimating missing values in daily precipitation series. It is aimed at identifying the event time location with good accuracy and reconstructing the correct amount of daily rainfall. In addition, the statistical properties of the time series, i.e. both probability distribution and long‐term statistics, are preserved. The completion method is based on a two‐step algorithm that uses informa...
