For juvenile freshwater fish in temperate areas, large body size, and hence larger energy reserves has repeatedly been shown to increase accession of food and winter survival [ 20].
Occurring sympatrically with voles across all boreal and temperate habitats, larger shrew species can have impact on the voles' spatial behavior (Fulk 1972) and they potentially prey on vole nestlings (Ruzic 1971).
These constitute growing concerns for the walleye Sander vitreus, an ecologically and economically valuable North American temperate fish with large Laurentian Great Lakes' fisheries.
The monoploid genome size of rye (1Cx = 7,917 Mbp) is the largest among temperate cereals, almost 40% larger than that of bread wheat (Table 1).
Steep elevation gradients, a long temperate coastline, a large latitudinal extent, and a variety of geological histories provide the regional spatial framework for assessing potential hydrologic response across the California hydrologic region.
Australia and South Africa, which have coastlines similar to the United States in that they range from tropical to temperate and draw large numbers of people to them, also saw high numbers of attacks.
The herpesviruses and temperate bacteriophage are large dsDNA viruses that share the capacity to alternate between productive and silent infections.
LGM distributions of animal and plant species were similarly different from present distributions, particularly in temperate areas, in large part in response to changing climate and landscape conditions [1], [3].
In temperate grasses, a large proportion of the genome is cold-responsive [ 27, 28] as they are highly adaptive to the cold conditions.
Striking interspecific variations in floral traits of the large temperate genus Pedicularis have given rise to controversies concerning infra-generic classifications.
