A global dataset of near-natural basins for climate change detection
Turner, Steve; Hannaford; Berker, Lucy; Dixon, Harry; Griffin, Adam; Kumar, Amit; Suman, Gayatri; Goula, Albert Bi Tié; Watson, AndrewAs hydrological extremes become more severe in the warming world, impacts to livelihoods, infrastructure, and economies worsen. To attribute emerging trends to climate change, we need to remove the signal of anthropogenic activities, such as, the presence of dams, land-cover change, channelisation and the abstraction of water for public water supplies, industry and agriculture. These human disturbances can obsc...

Singh, Akansha; Kumar, Amit; Gondro, Cedric; da Silva Romero, Andrea Renata [UNESP]; Karthikeyan, A.; Mehrotra, Arnav; Pandey, A. K.; Dutt, TriveniMade available in DSpace on 2022-04-28T19:40:19Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2021-07-01; The aim of this study was to identify candidate genes associated with milk fat per cent and fatty acid (FA) composition in Vrindavani cattle using the Illumina 50 K single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. After quality control, a total of 41,427 informative and high-quality SNPs were used for a geno...
Signatures of Selection in Composite Vrindavani Cattle of India
Singh, Akansha; Mehrotra, Arnav; Gondro, Cedric; Romero, Andrea Renata da Silva [UNESP]; Pandey, Ashwni Kumar; Karthikeyan, A.; Bashir, AamirMade available in DSpace on 2021-06-25T11:47:05Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2020-12-18; ICMR fellowship; Vrindavani is an Indian composite cattle breed developed by crossbreeding taurine dairy breeds with native indicine cattle. The constituent breeds were selected for higher milk production and adaptation to the tropical climate. However, the selection response for production and adaptati...
Estimation of Risk to the Eco-Environment and Human Health of Using Heavy Metal...
Kumar, Amit; Cabral-Pinto, Marina; Kumar, Amit; Kumar, Munesh; Dinis, Pedro A.In the modern era, due to the rapid increase in urbanization and industrialization in the vicinity of the Himalayas, heavy metals contamination in soil has become a key priority for researchers working globally; however, evaluation of the human and ecological risks mainly in hilly areas remains limited. In this study, we analyzed indices like the contamination factor (CF), degree of contamination (DC), enrichme...
Standardized Assessment of Biodiversity Trends in Tropical Forest Protected Are...
Beaudrot, Lydia H.; Ahumada, Jorge A.; O’Brien, Timothy L.; Álvarez-Loayza, Patricia; Boekee, Kelly; Campos-Arceiz, Ahimsa; Eichberg, DavidExtinction rates in the Anthropocene are three orders of magnitude higher than background and disproportionately occur in the tropics, home of half the world’s species. Despite global efforts to combat tropical species extinctions, lack of high-quality, objective information on tropical biodiversity has hampered quantitative evaluation of conservation strategies. In particular, the scarcity of population-level ...
