The suburbs, particularly ones as green as most of Westchester, were made for summer, especially the relatively temperate one we have here.
At times it's hard not to feel as if our bragging rights are endangered, as if we're just one possible business climate, and not necessarily the most temperate one.
Recently, our marine biodiversity monitoring program revealed that the temporal and spatial distributions of C. sinicus varied obviously in the China Seas, which may be a consequence of global climate warming since this species is a warm-temperate one.
We consider two tropical populations of D. melanogaster, adapted to a warm environment, and two temperate ones, adapted to a much colder climate and especially to cold winters.
Geographical location of the setting may also play a role as the dissipation of CPF and its metabolites from food surfaces has shown a wide range of variation, with shorter times shown in more tropical climates [ 21], and longer times in more temperate ones as well as on foods cultivated in winter [ 22].
Certain tropical sea anemones (class Anthozoa) may be a metre in diameter, and some temperate ones are nearly that tall.
On the one hand, tropical climates have been considered to be relatively old, benign, and stable (with reduced climatic oscillations) compared to temperate ones, making reduced extinction rates a possible factor producing the latitudinal diversity gradients in plant and animal clades the "museum" hypothesis [4], [5], [15] [18].
One is that because tropical species often have smaller populations than temperate ones, they are more susceptible to genetic drift.
Another illustrative example is the Black Sea where extremely high water stratification results in a seasonal cycle similar to subtropical regions rather than to temperate ones.
