A key feature of intertidal marine systems is the well-defined gradient of environmental stress generated by tides. In this study, resilience, i.e. the speed of recovery along this gradient, was explored in a temperate rocky shore system. The purpose was to test whether there was a negative relationship between environmental stress and resilience, as suggested by some previous empirical studies...

The distribution of dengue vectors, Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus, is affected by climatic factors. In addition, since their life cycles are well adapted to the human environment, environmental changes resulting from human activity such as urbanization exert a great impact on vector distribution. The different responses of Ae. aegypti and Ae albopictus to various environments result in a diffe...
