Climatic niche attributes and diversification in Anolis lizards (2015)
Journal Article
Velasco, J. A., Martínez-Meyer, E., Flores-Villela, O., García, A., Algar, A. C., Köhler, G., & Daza, J. M. (2016). Climatic niche attributes and diversification in Anolis lizards. Journal of Biogeography, 43(1), 134-144. https://doi.org/10.1111/jbi.12627

Aim

The aim of this study was to test the link between climatic niche dynamics and species diversification in Anolis on islands and on the mainland. We tested the hypotheses that lineages in warmer climates and with narrow climate niches diversifi... Read More about Climatic niche attributes and diversification in Anolis lizards.

© 2015 Natural Environment Research Council. Selected European studies have illustrated the impacts of elevated CO2 concentrations in shallow soils on pasture. For the first time, general unified conclusions can be made, providing CO2 thresholds wher...

Geographies of marketisation in English higher education: territorial and relational markets and the case of undergraduate student fees (2015)
Journal Article
Hall, S. (2015). Geographies of marketisation in English higher education: territorial and relational markets and the case of undergraduate student fees. Area, https://doi.org/10.1111/area.12216

In this paper, I use the case of the marketisation of higher education in England to contribute to the growing interest in placing markets, and processes of market making, more centrally within economic geographical research agendas. In particular, m... Read More about Geographies of marketisation in English higher education: territorial and relational markets and the case of undergraduate student fees.

The Village of the Damned? Myths and Realities of Structured Begging Behaviour in and Around Phnom Penh (2015)
Journal Article
Parsons, L., & Lawreniuk, S. (2016). The Village of the Damned? Myths and Realities of Structured Begging Behaviour in and Around Phnom Penh. Journal of Development Studies, 52(1), 36-52. https://doi.org/10.1080/00220388.2015.1056787

This paper concerns the nature of structured begging migration in Phnom Penh, as well as its impact and meaning in sender communities. It interrogates a popular myth known throughout Cambodia concerning the supernatural motivation of ‘rich’ beggars,... Read More about The Village of the Damned? Myths and Realities of Structured Begging Behaviour in and Around Phnom Penh.

An assessment of citizen contributed ground reference data for land cover map accuracy assessment (2015)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2015). An assessment of citizen contributed ground reference data for land cover map accuracy assessment. ISPRS Annals of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2(3/W5), https://doi.org/10.5194/isprsannals-II-3-W5-219-2015

It is now widely accepted that an accuracy assessment should be part of a thematic mapping programme. Authoritative good or best practices for accuracy assessment have been defined but are often impractical to implement. Key reasons for this situatio...

Occupying wide open spaces? Late Pleistocene hunter–gatherer activities in the Eastern Levant (2015)
Journal Article
Maher, L. A., Macdonald, D. A., Allentuck, A., Martin, L., Spyrou, A., & Jones, M. D. (2016). Occupying wide open spaces? Late Pleistocene hunter–gatherer activities in the Eastern Levant. Quaternary International, 396, 79-94. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2015.07.054

With a specific focus on eastern Jordan, the Epipalaeolithic Foragers in Azraq Project explores changing hunter-gatherer strategies, behaviours and adaptations to this vast area throughout the Late Pleistocene. In particular, we examine how lifeways... Read More about Occupying wide open spaces? Late Pleistocene hunter–gatherer activities in the Eastern Levant.

Atmospheric Environment, 119, 131-143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.atmosenv.2015.08.008

An evaluation has been made of a number of contrasting atmospheric chemical transport models, of varying complexity, applied to estimate sulphur and nitrogen deposition in the UK. The models were evaluated by comparison with annually averaged measure...

Quaternary Science Reviews, 124, 162-174. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2015.07.023

There is a lack of high-resolution records of hydroclimate variability in the Eastern Mediterranean from the late glacial and early Holocene. More knowledge of the speed of climate shifts and the degree to which they were synchronous with changes in...

Late Holocene climate reorganisation and the North American Monsoon (2015)
Journal Article
