Over the past decade, evidence of abrupt latitudinal changes in the dynamics, structure and genetic variability of intertidal and subtidal benthic communities along central-northern Chile has been found consistently at 30-32°S. Changes in the advective and thermal environment in nearshore waters have been inferred from ecological patterns, since analyses of in situ physical data have thus far b...

Introduction: The record of variations in the climate of Mars is imprinted in the spatial distribution of a variety of structures and features of the high latitude surfaces. Here, we report the surface distribution of some minerals in the high latitude (>50° North and South) regions of Mars (including the Phoenix landing site) from the OMEGA/MEx observations in the visible and near-infrared wav...

Abstract. After the decrease of ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) as a consequence Montreal Protocol, it is still challenging to detect recovery in total column amount ozone (total ozone) at northern high latitudes. To assess regional changes “ozone-recovery” period (2000–2020) latitudes, this study investigates trends from ground-based measurements three stations Norway (Oslo, Andøya, and Ny-Å...

Statistical shape analysis has emerged as an insightful method for evaluating brain structures in neuroimaging studies, however most shape frameworks are surface based and thus directly depend on the quality of surface alignment. In contrast, medial descriptions employ thickness information as alignment-independent shape metric. We propose a joint framework that computes local medial thickness ...

Polyploidy and symbiotic Epichloë fungal endophytes are common and heritable characteristics that can facilitate environmental range expansion in grasses. Here we examined geographic patterns of polyploidy and the frequency of fungal endophyte colonized plants in 29 Festuca rubra L. populations from eight geographic sites across latitudes from Spain to northernmost Finland and Greenland. Ploidy...
