    Asymmetric boundary shifts of tropical montane Lepidoptera over four decades of climate warming
    (Wiley, 2011) I-Ching Chen; Jane K. Hill; Hau-Jie Shiu; Jeremy D. Holloway,Suzan Benedick; Vun Khen Chey; Henry S. Barlow; Chris D. Thomas
    To estimate whether species have shifted at equal rates at their leading edges (cool boundaries) and trailing edges (warm boundaries) in response to climate change. We provide the first such evidence for tropical insects, here examining elevation shifts for the upper and lower boundaries shifts of montane moths. Threats to species on tropical mountains are considered.

    Climate change in Malaysia: Trends, contributors, impacts, mitigation and adaptations
    (Elsevier, 2019) Kuok Ho Daniel Tang
    This paper reviews the past and future trends of climate change in Malaysia, the major contributors of greenhouse gases and the impacts of climate change to Malaysia. It also reviews the mitigation and adaptations undertaken, and future strategies to manage the impacts of regional climate change.

    Daily temperature effects on under-five mortality in a tropical climate country and the role of local characteristics
    (Elsevier, 2023) Vera Ling Hui Phung; Kazutaka Oka; Yasushi Honda; Yasuaki Hijioka; Kayo Ueda; Xerxes Tesoro Seposo; Mazrura Sahani; Wan Rozita Wan Mahiyuddin; Yoonhee Kim
    Climate change and its subsequent effects on temperature have raised global public health concerns. Although numerous epidemiological studies have shown the adverse health effects of temperature, the association remains unclear for children aged below five years old and those in tropical climate regions.

    Dynamic impacts of energy use, agricultural land expansion, and deforestation on CO2 emissions in Malaysia
    (Springer, 2022) Asif Raihan; Rawshan Ara Begum; Mohd Nizam; Mohd Said; Joy Jacqueline Pereira
    This study empirically investigates the nexus among energy use, agricultural land expansion, deforestation, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Malaysia. Time series data from 1990 to 2019 were utilized using the bounds testing (ARDL) approach followed by the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method. The DOLS estimate findings show that the energy usage coefficient is positive and significant with CO2 emissions, indicating a 1% increase in energy consumption is related to a 0.91% rise in CO2 emissions.

    Future climate change impact assessment of watershed scale hydrologic processes in Peninsular Malaysia by a regional climate model coupled with a physically-based hydrology modelo
    (Elsevier, 2017) M.Z.M. Amin; A.J. Shaaban; A. Ercan; K. Ishida; M.L. Kavvas; Z.Q. Chen; S. Jang
    Impacts of climate change on the hydrologic processes under future climate change conditions were assessed over Muda and Dungun watersheds of Peninsular Malaysia by means of a coupled regional climate and physically-based hydrology model utilizing an ensemble of future climate change projections. An ensemble of 15 different future climate realizations from coarse resolution global climate models' (GCMs) projections for the 21st century was dynamically downscaled to 6 km resolution over Peninsular Malaysia by a regional climate model, which was then coupled with the watershed hydrology model WEHY through the atmospheric boundary layer over Muda and Dungun watersheds.
