We investigate the evolutionary history of the wide-ranging Nearctic treefrog Hyla arenicolor through the integration of extensive range-wide sampling, phylogenetic analyses of multilocus genetic data, and divergence dating. Previous phylogeographic studies of this frog documented a potential signature of introgressive hybridization from an ecologically and morphologically divergent sister spec...

Despite growing recognition of solutions to water scarcity challenges, decision-makers across the world continue face barriers effective implementation planning, governance and management. This is evident in cases Lahore Karachi Indus Basin Pakistan illustrated through experiences provincial government departments utilities. Water associated challenges are continuing impose significant costs on...

High-resolution seasonal and annual precipitation climatologies for the Upper Indus Basin were developed on basis of 1995–2017 normals obtained from four-gridded datasets (APHRODITE, CHIRPS, PERSIANN-CDR, ERA5) quality-controlled high- mid-elevation station observations. Monthly is estimated through anomaly method at catchment scale, then, it compared with observed discharges over 1975–2017 per...

Integrated adaptation strategies are needed to achieve the highly interlinked Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for water, food- and energy security in Indus basin. However, detailed quantitative scenarios plausible dimensions of future resource requirements under socio-economic development lacking. Here we define three spatially downscaled food basin assess implications integrated challenge...
