Dry–Hot Compound Events Driving the 2024 Pantanal WildfiresNARA Subscribed
The year 2024 was classified by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) as the hottest on record, both globally and in Brazil. In the Pantanal, exceptional heat waves and intense droughts led to an early onset of the fire season in June, marked by high fire severity and large burned areas. Although the Pantanal has been increasingly affected by combined drought and heat events, the influence of these climatic extremes on f...
Beyond the NAO : The East Atlantic Pattern's Role in Early 20th‐Century Meteorological Droughts in Western EuropeNARA Subscribed
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) and the East Atlantic (EA) pattern are the primary winter modes of large‐scale atmospheric variability in the North Atlantic. While EA is generally considered secondary to NAO, recent studies have reported that during the early 20th century, EA was the leading mode of variability instead of NAO. This study builds on that finding to characterise North Atlantic winter atmospheric circulation...
Quantifying Multi‐Day Precipitation Extremes and Their Linkages With Atmospheric Moisture Flux Over IndiaNARA Subscribed
The Indian subcontinent is dominated by a very pronounced summer monsoon season from June to September and a less intense autumn monsoon, both posing major challenges to the densely populated regions, namely through flash floods and landslides. Moreover, the spatial patterns and temporal extent of extreme precipitation events are not uniform across India, with event's durations varying across regions and multiple triggering fa...
A robust approach to terrestrial relative gravity measurements and adjustment of gravity networksNARA Subscribed
Like many geophysical observations, relative gravity (RG) measurements are affected by random errors, systematic errors, and occasional blunders. When RG measurements are used to build large gravity networks in remote areas under adverse environmental or logistical conditions (such as extreme temperatures, heavy precipitation, rugged terrain, difficult or dangerous roads, and high altitudes), it is more likely for significant...
Mammalian carnivores are considered a key group in maintaining ecological health and can indicate potential ecological integrity in landscapes where they occur. Carnivores also hold high conservation value and their habitat requirements can guide management and conservation plans. The order Carnivora has 84 species from 8 families in the Neotropical region: Canidae; Felidae; Mephitidae; Mustelidae; Otariidae; Phocidae; Procyon...
NEOTROPICAL XENARTHRANS: a data set of occurrence of xenarthran species in the NeotropicsNARA Subscribed
Xenarthrans—anteaters, sloths, and armadillos—have essential functions for ecosystem maintenance, such as insect control and nutrient cycling, playing key roles as ecosystem engineers. Because of habitat loss and fragmentation, hunting pressure, and conflicts with domestic dogs, these species have been threatened locally, regionally, or even across their full distribution ranges. The Neotropics harbor 21 species of armadillos,...
Spatial assessment of the performance of multiple high‐resolution satellite‐based precipitation data sets over the Middle EastNARA Subscribed
This study presents the first comprehensive evaluation of the performance of three globally high‐resolution remotely sensed products in replicating the main characteristics of rainfall over the Middle East, with special emphasis on extreme wet events. Specifically, we employed daily observational data from a network of rain gauges ( N = 217), spanning the retrospective period 1998–2013 and covering six countries in the Middle...
Mortality from collision with vehicles is the most visible impact of road traffic on wildlife. Mortality due to roads (hereafter road‐kill) can affect the dynamic of populations of many species and can, therefore, increase the risk of local decline or extinction. This is especially true in Brazil, where plans for road network upgrading and expansion overlaps biodiversity hotspot areas, which are of high importance for global c...
According to the latest global and regional circulation models, the probability of occurrence of large heat waves (HWs), such as the 2003 European or the 2010 Russian events will increase significantly in the following decades under most climate scenarios. Currently, there are numerous studies for the Northern Hemisphere characterizing HWs and evaluating their impacts in several areas such as public health, economy, and agricu...
The knowledge of the feeding habits in marine species is fundamental to better understand their relationship with the environment. Although phytoplankton has been traditionally reported as the main food source consumed by the Mediterranean fan mussel Pinna nobilis, recent studies have revealed that detritus represents an important food source for this species. We analysed the degree of acceptance of muddy detritus and the util...
