Mapping the sensitivity of Lesotho's avifauna to wind farm developments
… coprotheres, in addition to six other red-listed species, including Black Stork Ciconia nigra and Southern Bald Ibis Geronticus calvus. Concern over the impacts of wind farms on Lesotho's avifauna has resulted in calls for the development of an avian sensitivity map. Sensitivity maps have been …

Drought in the Colorado River Basin: Spatiotemporal Analysis using an Edge Detection Filter
… onset patterns. Superposed Epoch Analysis and a species-sensitivity analysis revealed that there are differences that exist between the droughts, including variation in the timing of the peak index year relative to the onset of drought (peak edge year), in magnitude of drought response, and in …

Evaluating the emerging environmental risks of mycotoxins in freshwater ecosystems.
… was considered for each mycotoxin using species sensitivity distributions, generated with the plant and invertebrate data along with additional plant and fish data available in literature. These provided freshwater HC5 values of 5.2 μg DON/L and 43 μg ZON/L, respectively. Global …

Magnetic properties of the rare earth systems neodymium/yttrium and dysprosium/yttrium
… edges of both Dy and Lu, we were able to use the species-sensitivity of x-ray resonant magnetic scattering to isolate the contribution from each element individually. As there are no unfilled f-levels on Lu atoms, the intensity observed at the magnetic wavevector that is resonant at the Lu edge …

Evaluation of Colloidal Stability and Ecotoxicity of Metal-based Nanoparticles in the Aquatic and Terrestrial Systems
… and that caution be applied when extending one species toxicity results to another because obvious differences in organism biology—supporting species sensitivity paradigm—can significantly alter nanoparticle or ionic toxicity.</p>

VOLCANIC EMISSIONS AND DISTAL PALAEOENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS IN NEW ZEALAND
… together with local forest diversity and species sensitivity to tephra deposition, proved more important in determining the degree of tephra impact. Taxa found to be particularly sensitive to tephra deposition included Halocarpus, with inconsistent impacts from tephra fell on Dacrydium and …

How marine organisms cope with changing climate
… and behaviour. Such adaptive responses of species will determine their persistence under future ocean warming and acidification conditions. If organisms are capable of maintaining fitness after long-term exposure to a stressor this can be indicative of acclimation potential. However, their …

Drivers of forest dynamics: Joint effects of climate and competition
… point’ was investigated, the point at which species dominances change due to changes in competitiveness caused by climate change. Both models projected a potential climatic turning point at a mean annual temperature of 11-12 °C and precipitation sum of 500‑530 mm. However, the change of …
