livestock industry will still be mainly adverse. It is likely therewill be a drop in the yield of the three major crops — wheat,rice and corn; changes in the agricultural production layout andstructure; accelerated decomposition of organic carbon in t[r]

As we all know, greenhouse gas emissions generated by human activity will change Earth’s climate. The recent globally averaged warming by 0.5ºC is partly attributable to such anthropogenic emissions. Unfortunately, climate change may impact adverse affects on human health through a range of pathways[r]

intensive shrimp producers may incur additionalcosts of water pumping to maintain water andsalinity levels. Since the industry is both capitalintensive and growing rapidly, adaptation is likelyto be autonomous with the costs borne by operators. The total cost of adaptatio[r]

Over recent decades, remarkable progress in cultivating the concepts of flood risk management has taken place across countries as diverse as India, China, Australia, the UK and the USA. This change highlights a risk management paradigm as potentially more complex than a more traditional standardbase[r]

We revisited a classic study of morphological variation in the oldfield mouse (Peromyscus polionotus) to estimate the strength of
selection acting on pigmentation patterns and to identify the underlying genes. We measured 215 specimens collected by Francis
Sumner in the 1920s from eight populations a[r]
