Analysing the Zenith Tropospheric Delay estimates in on-line Precise Point Positioning (PPP) services and PPP software packages (2018)
Journal Article
Mendez Astudillo, J., Lau, L., Tang, Y.-T., & Moore, T. (2018). Analysing the Zenith Tropospheric Delay estimates in on-line Precise Point Positioning (PPP) services and PPP software packages. Sensors, 18(2), https://doi.org/10.3390/s18020000

As Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signals travel through the troposphere, a tropospheric delay occurs due to a change in the refractive index of the medium. The Precise Point Positioning (PPP) technique can achieve centimeter/millimeter po...

Knowledge about the biogeographic affinities of the world’s tropical forests helps to better understand regional differences in forest structure, diversity, composition, and dynamics. Such understanding will enable anticipation of region-specific res... Read More about Phylogenetic classification of the world’s tropical forests.

Changes and drivers of freshwater mussel diversity and distribution in northern Borneo (2018)
Journal Article
Zieritz, A., Bogan, A. E., Rahim, K. A., Jainih, R. S. L., Harun, S., Abd Razak, N. F., Gallardo, B., McGowan, S., Hassan, R., & Lopes-Lima, M. (2018). Changes and drivers of freshwater mussel diversity and distribution in northern Borneo. Biological Conservation, 219, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biocon.2018.01.012

Human activities are threatening Borneo's unique biodiversity, but little is known on the status of freshwater invertebrates. We assessed changes in diversity and distribution of freshwater mussels (Bivalvia: Unionida) in northern Borneo, and identif...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 5, Article 112. https://doi.org/10.3389/feart.2017.00112

Silicon (Si) is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and is an important nutrient in the ocean. The global Si cycle plays a critical role in regulating primary productivity and carbon cycling on the continents and in the oceans. Deve...

Climatic and evolutionary factors shaping geographical gradients of species richness in Anolis lizards (2018)
Journal Article
Velasco, J. A., Villalobos, F., Diniz-Filho, J. A. F., Algar, A. C., Flores-Villela, O., Köhler, G., Poe, S., & Martínez-Meyer, E. (2018). Climatic and evolutionary factors shaping geographical gradients of species richness in Anolis lizards. Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 123(3), 615-627. https://doi.org/10.1093/biolinnean/blx160

Understanding the climatic and historical factors shaping species richness is a major goal of ecology and biogeography. Consensus on how climate affects species richness is still lacking, but four potential and non-exclusive explanations have emerged...
