DOI: 10.1002/joc.6288
Abstract: Statistical downscaling methods are extensively used to refine future climate change projections produced by physical models. Distributional methods, which are among the simplest to implement, are also among the most widely used, either by themselves… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jaridenv.2020.104217
Abstract: Abstract Warming global climates represent major threats to avian populations, particularly those reliant on surface water within arid biomes. We investigated terrestrial avian use of groundwater-dominated arid zone waterholes in central Australia to identify species… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtherbio.2019.02.011
Abstract: Summer temperature patterns within tree cavities might influence occupancy of cavities by different animals such as birds and bats, and furthermore, cavity temperatures can influence processes such as embryonic development or the development of young.… read more here.
