Confounding factors in the detection of species responses to habitat fragmentation
TL;DR: This work reviews the extensive literature on species responses to habitat fragmentation, and detail the numerous ways in which confounding factors have either masked the detection, or prevented the manifestation, of predicted fragmentation effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Change 1995
TL;DR: The assessment was completed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) with a primary aim of reviewing the current state of knowledge concerning the impacts of climate change on physical and ecological systems, human health, and socioeconomic factors as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of climate changes on animal production and sustainability of livestock systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of climate change on livestock following the theory of global warming are discussed and a relevant increase of drought is expected across the world affecting forage and crop production, which will reduce the carrying capacity of rangelands and buffering ability of agropastoral and pastoral systems.

TL;DR: The group established a systems model approach and priority lists of infectious diseases affected by ecologic degradation, and recommended creating Centers of Excellence in Ecology and Health Research and Training, based at regional universities and/or research institutes with close links to the surrounding communities.

Climate Change 1995: The Science of Climate Change
TL;DR: The most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment available for scientific understanding of human influences on the past present and future climate is "Climate Change 1995: The Science of Climate Change" as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Global and Regional Scale Precipitation Patterns Associated with the El Niño/Southern Oscillation
TL;DR: In this article, the amplitude and phase of the Arm harmonic fitted to the 24-month composite values are plotted in the form of a vector for each station, which reveals both the regions of spatially coherent ENSO-related precipitation and the phase of this signal in relation to the evolution of the composite episode.

A massive outbreak in Milwaukee of cryptosporidium infection transmitted through the public water supply
Mac Kenzie Wr,N J Hoxie,Proctor Me,Gradus Ms,K A Blair,Peterson De,Kazmierczak Jj,David G. Addiss,Fox Kr,Joan B. Rose +9 more
TL;DR: This massive outbreak of watery diarrhea among the residents of Milwaukee was caused by cryptosporidium oocysts that passed through the filtration system of one of the city's water-treatment plants, and water-quality standards and the testing of patients for cryptOSporidium were not adequate to detect this outbreak.
Journal Article
Surveillance for waterborne-disease outbreaks : united states, 1995-1996
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported a total of 22 waterborne-disease outbreaks associated with drinking water and recreational lake water, which caused an estimated total of 2,567 persons to become ill. No deaths were reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiative forcing of climate change
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the current understanding of mechanisms that are, or may be, acting to cause climate change over the past century, with an emphasis on those due to human activity, and discussed the general level of confidence in these estimates and areas of remaining uncertainty.
