Adaptation of sea turtles to climate warming: Will phenological responses be sufficient to counteract changes in reproductive output?NARA Subscribed
Sea turtles are vulnerable to climate change since their reproductive output is influenced by incubating temperatures, with warmer temperatures causing lower hatching success and increased feminization of embryos. Their ability to cope with projected increases in ambient temperatures will depend on their capacity to adapt to shifts in climatic regimes. Here, we assessed the extent to which phenological shifts could mitigate im...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
Direct and indirect seasonal rainfall forecasts for East Africa using global dynamical modelsNARA Subscribed
Regional‐scale seasonal climate outlooks are typically produced using forecast information either local to the region or from another area with teleconnections to the region. Dynamical global long‐range forecast (LRF) systems can provide both types of information, and these two approaches are compared in the context of seasonal rainfall forecasts for two adjoining areas in the Greater Horn of Africa region in tropical East Afr...
A Marine Isotope Stage 4 age for Pleistocene raised beach deposits near Fethard, southern IrelandNARA Subscribed
Raised beach deposits around the Irish coast have been interpreted as interglacial or last glacial in age. On the south coast of Ireland, the Courtmacsherry Formation raised beach (CFB), near Fethard, County Wexford, was dated using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL). This site was previously dated to Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 6–5, but more recent dating of the CFB elsewhere along the south coast shows it is considerably...
Sea‐surface temperature (SST) is one of the principal factors that influence seasonal climate variability, and most seasonal prediction schemes make use of information regarding SST anomalies. In particular, dynamical atmospheric prediction models require global gridded SST data prescribed through the target season. The simplest way of providing those data is to persist the SST anomalies observed at the start of the forecast a...
