South Texas Climate 2100: Potential Ecological and Wildlife Impacts

In South Texas, the impacts of increased temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO 2) on the ecological relationships that provide the foundations for wildlife habitats and populations are potentially huge, but largely unknown at present. This is because little research attention has been paid to this issue, which is unfortunate because wildlife are culturally and economically important in...

Case based teaching at the bed side versus in classroom for undergraduates and residents of pediatrics

Introduction: Bedsideteaching is defined as teaching in the presence of apatient, it is a vital component of medical education. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two methods of case based teaching (at the bedside and in the classroom) in the teaching hospitals (for both undergraduates and residents of Pediatrics).Methods: Thirty undergraduates and twenty pediatric resid...

The complexity of predicting climate-induced ecological impacts

The anticipated future increases in global surface temperatures are likely to have major impacts on the distribution of species. Predicting future species’ distributions is a key area of importance in research, which is largely being addressed through the use of climate envelope models. While climate envelope models may indicate the broad direction of likely changes in distribution, they fail t...
