Figure 2: Mean annual rainfall, seasonality indices and their trends. We are now in a position to focus on a subset of these seasonality hotspots—in northeast Brazil, western and central Africa, and ...

ABSTRACT A hierarchical spatial model for daily rainfall extremes that characterizes their temporal variation due to interannual climatic forcing as well as their spatial pattern is proposed. The ...

Climate change is a major threat to biodiversity; the development of models that reliably predict its effects on species distributions is a priority for conservation biogeography. Two of the main ...
