As shown in Table 2, there was a trend for the rate of positive response in the general population to a questionnaire relating to rheumatic complaints to increase with increasing latitude in locality.
Collections sorted by latitude of locality; * = specimens sampled by staff of the museum; N = number of specimens sampled; Success = percentage of PCR success for all three targeted fragments (for the shortest fragment L in brackets); Age = age range of the vouchers.
We analysed the relationship between the stable isotope values (δC and δN) and the trace element concentrations (hepatic Zn, Cu, Fe, Hg, Se, renal Cd) with regard to local bathymethry, latitude of sampled localities, and age of harbour porpoises using a principal components analysis (PCA).
Variables associated with each H5N1 outbreak included: date, location (country, administrative region, locality, latitude and longitude), reliability of the field veterinarian's diagnosis and the laboratory approach that was used to confirm viral subtype, and whether the outbreak occurred in wild or domestic animals.
Point collection data here represent the set of georeferenced localities (latitude, longitude and date) of museum voucher specimens.
We considered the differences in altitude and latitude between the localities and the climatic stations available and calculated which would represent less change using our regression model.
When available, the locality's latitude and longitude was also recorded.
When plotted against localities by latitude, abundance data appear to have a normal distribution with the highest abundances at the center of the range of T. paleacea (Figure 3).
Prevalence of rheumatic symptoms increases with latitude and varies with the locality and age.
Many terrestrial vertebrates, however, show a monophyly of the peninsula with respect to mainland [22], [53], [69], instead of the patterns observed in Ligia (i.e., monophyly of southern Baja and mainland localities south of ∼29°N latitude; and monophyly of the Cape region with southern mainland localities south of ∼25°N latitude).
The latitude, longitude and altitude of localities for most populations sampled were recorded using an Etrex GIS monitor (Garmin, Taiwan).
