Sentence examples for for refugia from inspiring English sources

Additionally, hardwood stands are commonly used by bobcats for refugia (i.e., den sites, cover, protection from summer heat; [Hall and Newsome 1976, Godbois et al. 2003a]) or travel corridors between foraging patches (Godbois et al. 2003a), and are particularly important in pine-dominated landscapes (Conner et al. 1992, Conner and Leopold 1996, Chamberlain et al. 2003).

We chose these species based on the availability of networked occurrence data and detailed phylogeographic predictions for refugia, and we restricted ourselves to North America because of the relatively well-established understanding of its paleoclimate.

As a consequence, some authors have argued for refugia within refugia [ 11] or multiple northern refugia ([ 12, 13]; but see [ 14]).

Support for refugia in the Levant comes from archaeobotanical findings, as oldest wild barley remains were found at Ohalo II on the Sea of Galilee (Kislev et al. 1992), dating to 23,000 yBP.

The Pilbara is well known as important an important area for refugia with high levels of endemism in a variety of plants and animals [ 1- 3], but we are only just now beginning to reconstruct the biotic history of this ancient and complex landscape.

The latter is important for prey refugia but probably also for competitors limited to a greater degree by habitat-sharing than by food competition.

These images were paired with geospatial catchment variables to identify the driving factors for coldwater refugia located within tributaries to the main channel.

It is clear that as the spatial scale is reduced, the locations of the coldest temperatures that have the potential for offering refugia from warming are more evident at both high elevations east of Owens Valley and low elevations in the Sierra Nevada, providing for information and enhanced interpretation for conservation planning.

Assuming the hypothesis for multiple refugia is more likely, we discuss here in detail the various European lineages within the species' phylogeny and their connections to specific populations, as these may represent potential areas for these refugial populations.

We examined 20 North American terrestrial vertebrate species from different regions and with different range sizes for which refugia have been identified based on phylogeographic analyses, using ENM tools to make parallel predictions.

Interestingly, our ENM results suggest that the distribution of A. transcaspicus today differs little from that which might be expected for Pleistocene refugia of many European species [e.g. see Figure 1 of Ref. 65].
