A critical issue for top-down pattern analysis is whether variables of interest, like climate5 or concentration of pollutants6, have a mechanistic link to spread of the disease and how much that link affects transmission patterns. Using the DOTS equation and focusing on climate, we can speculate about the mechanistic links of SARS-CoV-2 and climate. Firstly, […] More
Growth parameters Plant height of rice plants examined in this experiment responded differently to the fertilization treatments (p < 0.05). Relative to the control that was supplemented with mineral fertilizers (T1, Table 1), most of the CSS-applied treatments could maintain comparable plant heights (p > 0.05), except T4, which received a single CSS fertilization at the same total N input […] More

The bookkeeping and residual budget approach In the IPCC AR5 (ref. 12) and the annual global carbon budget updates by the GCP (ref. 13), the Snet was derived using the following equation: $${S}_{{mathrm{net}}} = {E}_{{mathrm{FUEL}}}-{S}_{{mathrm{AIR}}}-{S}_{{mathrm{OCEAN}}},$$ (1) where Snet is the net land sink, EFUEL is the CO2 emissions from fossil fuel burning and cement production, […] More
Study areas We used data from 53 African MIKE sites that began reporting prior to 2010 (Fig. 1). Additional sites in Asia as well as African sites added to the program in 2018 were not considered here. MIKE sites tend to be protected areas, though some sites are unprotected or include both protected and unprotected areas. […] More

Database and conventional phylogenetic analysis A 628 bp-long sequence of the control region of mtDNA were sequenced from 193 Moroccan individuals, belonging to 6 breeds (access numbers in GenBank: MN229085-MN229277). To enrich the database, the use of these sequences as seeds allowed retrieving from NCBI Blastn tool 652 foreign sequences, distributed in 9 Iberian, 7 […] More
