Deforestation is associated with increased atmospheric CO2 and alterations to the surface energy and mass balances that can lead to local and global climate changes.Previous modelling studies show that the global surface air temperature (SAT) response to deforestation depends on latitude, with most simulations showing that high latitude deforestati
Many organisms produce offspring with sex-ratios that deviate from equal numbers of males and females, and Products numerous adaptive explanations have been proposed.In some species, offspring sex-ratio varies across the reproductive season, again with several explanations as to why this might be adaptive.However, patterns for birds and mammals are
