Climate refugia, locations where taxa survive periods of regionally adverse climate, are
thought to be critical for maintaining biodiversity through the glacial–interglacial climate …

Highlights•We provide a simple method to determine the microscale pertinent to small
insects.•Fine-scale microclimates can differ from local microclimates that are widely …

Despite continuous improvements, precipitation forecasts are still not as accurate and
reliable as those of other meteorological variables. A major contributing factor to this is that …

Landscape-scale ecological modelling has been hindered by suitable high-resolution
surface meteorological datasets. To overcome these limitations, desirable spatial attributes …

Species distribution models (SDMs) have rapidly evolved into one of the most widely used
tools to answer a broad range of ecological questions, from the effects of climate change to …

Aim Although species distribution models (SDMs) traditionally link species occurrences to
free‐air temperature data at coarse spatio‐temporal resolution, the distribution of organisms …

Particularly in rural settings, there has been little research regarding the health impacts of
fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) during the wildfire season smoke exposure period on …

The phase of precipitation when it reaches the ground is a first-order driver of hydrologic
processes in a watershed. The presence of snow, rain, or mixed-phase precipitation affects …

Gridded topoclimatic datasets are increasingly used to drive many ecological and
hydrological models and assess climate change impacts. The use of such datasets is …

Many statistical downscaling methods require observational inputs and expert knowledge
and thus cannot be generalized well across different regions. Convolutional neural networks …
