🟢👉 @b7l9_tunis 📣 🐙OPEN CALL🐙 📣 The #Octopusprogramme is an initiative of the University of Applied Arts Vienna and the Kamel Lazaar Foundation ( KLF ) which was launched in 2019/2020 with a pilot phase which linked Tunis and Vienna. The main phase is taking place in 2020/2021, bringing together @kamel_lazaar_foundation - @dieangewandte - @palmuseum - @konstfack - @indexstockholm - @universityofpretoria - @lessgoodidea - @sahadernegi - Saastamoinen Foundation and @publicsfi The programme is a guided research-based educational programme that encourages artistic research and production-based collaborations across academies and art institutions; students and professionals; diverse presentation modes; and processes of research and documentation in different geographies. While the Octopus Programme functions as a support mechanism for emerging artists, the main objective of the programme is to accumulate experience-based collective and creative output by taking geopolitical, social, ecological, and educational urgencies and diversities into consideration. The curators of the programme and representatives of partners are Barbara Putz-Plecko and @basaksenova (curator) in Vienna; Maria Lanz, @magnusbartas , @martimanen and @anneklontz_exhibitions (curator) in Stockholm; Lina Lazaar and @karimsultan (curator) in Tunis; @wjosephk ( William Kentridge ); @phala_ok and @bronwyn_lace (curator) in Johannesburg; Nabil Barham and @inassyassin1 (curator) in Birzeit; @celenkbafra (curator) in Istanbul; Johan Thom in Pretoria and Saastamoinen Foundation and @pauloneill_ (curator) in Helsinki.

Climate Change May Drive 10% of Amphibian Species in Brazil's Atlantic Rainforest to Extinction

Climate conditions anticipate for 2050 and 2070 will be possibly deadly to species less adjusted to climate variation, according to Brazilian scientists (Aplastodiscus arildae/ picture: Bruno T. M. do Nascimento)

Global warming might lead to the extinction of up to 10% of frog and toad species endemic to Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest biome within about the next 50 years. The temperature level and rainfall routines anticipated to take place in between 2050 and 2070 will be deadly for species that are less well adjusted to climate variation and populate particular locations of the Atlantic Rainforest.

This is one of the findings of a research study that evaluates today and future circulation of anurans (tailless amphibians, i.e., frogs and toads) in Brazil’s Atlantic Rainforest and Cerrado (savanna) biomes in the context of climate change due to constant international warming.

A paper on the research study has actually been releasedin the journal Ecology andEvolution The very first author is herpetologist Tiago da Silveira Vasconcelos, a scientist at São Paulo State University’s School of Sciences (FC– UNESP) in Bauru,Brazil The research study was supported by FAPESP under the aegis of its ResearchProgram on Global Climate Change

The coauthors are BrunoTayar Marinho do Nascimento, likewise associated with FC– UNESP, and Vitor Hugo Mendon ça do Prado, a teacher at Goi ás State University (UEG).

“The main aim of the study was to identify all anuran species in the Atlantic Rainforest and Cerrado and to characterize their climate preferences in the different areas they inhabit,”Vasconcelos stated. “Based on the data compiled, we constructed models to project scenarios designed to show which areas climatically favorable to the different species could be expected to expand or contract in light of the climate regimes forecast for 2050 and 2070.”

At present, 550 anuran species are understood to populate the Atlantic Rainforest (80% of them endemic), and 209 are understood to exist in theCerrado After getting rid of species with less than 5 incident records, Vasconcelos dealt with spatial circulation information for 350 species in the Atlantic Rainforest and 155 species in the Cerrado.

“In this manner, we were able to identify the Atlantic Rainforest and Cerrado areas with the highest levels of anuran species richness and with unique species composition,” he stated. “Having identified these areas, we evaluated the anuran communities in current and future climate scenarios in order to determine which areas offered a favorable climate for each of the 505 species analyzed and whether the areas would expand or contract by 2050 and 2070 owing to global warming.”

The spatial circulation information for 350 Atlantic Rainforest species and 155 Cerrado species were evaluated in terms of 2 neighborhood ecology metrics: alpha variety, specified as regional species richness within a particular environment or community, and beta variety, a step of structural heterogeneity based upon the level to which species structure differs as a function of range.

Accordingto Vasconcelos, the next action was to create environmental specific niche designs based upon the climate qualities beneficial to each species, utilizing 4 algorithms: generalized direct designs, improved regression trees, random forests, and assistance vector devices.

The algorithms produced maps of the Atlantic Rainforest and Cerrado locations in which each species can make it through thanks to their comparable environments. They were then adjusted with future climate circumstances based upon forecasts readily available from the WorldClim international climate database.

“In projecting future climate change conditions for 2050 and 2070, we used two carbon gas emission scenarios – one more optimistic with less global warming and the other more pessimistic and warmer. We also used three different atmosphere-ocean global circulation models,”Vasconcelos described. The circumstances and designs are from the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

“For each of the 505 species evaluated, we produced 24 circulation maps[four algorithms x two carbon emission scenarios x three global circulation models] That’s 12,000 maps all informed,” he stated.

The24 circulation maps for each species were then utilized to create an agreement map and a species presence-absence matrix to identify the projection incident of each species in 2050 and 2070.

“The first expected impact of climate change on anuran amphibians in the Atlantic Rainforest and Cerrado is the extinction of 42 species due to the complete loss of the areas with favorable climate conditions between 2050 and 2070,”Vasconcelos stated.

The information points to the extinction of 37 Atlantic Rainforest species (106% of the overall) and 5 Cerrado species. Of these 42 species, just 5 are presently thought about threatened by Brazil’s Environment Ministry.

Homogenizationof amphibians in the Cerrado

The greatest levels of anuran species richness in the Atlantic Rainforest are presently discovered in the southeastern part of the biome, in Esp írito Santo, Paran á, Rio de Janeiro, Santa Catarina and São PauloState Inland locations have lower levels of anuran species richness.

Although the outcomes of the research study point to species loss throughout the biome, even the greater rates of loss in its southeastern part will not avoid this particular area from staying the wealthiest in anuran amphibians.

On the other hand, there will be species loss throughout the Cerrado however likewise biodiversity gains in some areas.

“The results of our research show expansion of the areas with favorable climate conditions for anuran amphibians. Rising temperatures will lead to the expansion of Cerrado areas in a northern and northwestern direction, occupying what is now Amazon forest,”Vasconcelos stated. “The savannization of Amazon forest areas will open up new areas for occupation by amphibians from the Cerrado.”

In the Cerrado, climate change will not impact the location with the greatest level of anuran species richness, which is on the southern edge of the biome, however a substantial loss of species is anticipated in the western and southwestern parts of the biome nearby to the low-lying Pantanal wetlands. On the other hand, species richness may increase in Tocantins, northern Minas Gerais and western Bahia.

“The future climate change scenarios suggest there may be homogenization of anuran species throughout the Cerrado. In other words, the areas occupied by more generalist species that have adapted to different habitats and can tolerate wider temperature and humidity variations are expected to expand,”Vasconcelos stated.
