Examples
“To date, fisheries literature has suggested three approaches to this problem: the use of regionally specific climate projections that can be coupled directly to knowledge of the physiological limits of the species; the use of empirical relationships relating local climate (weather) to measurements of species or stock dynamics (e.g., abundance, size, growth rate, fecundity) and comparison of population success temporally (e.g., from a period of climatically variable years) or spatially (e.g., locales representing the extremes of variation in weather conditions such as latitudinal clines); and the use of current distributional data and known or inferred thermal preferences to shift ecological residency zones into geographic positions that reflect probable future climate regimes.”

“It is interesting to see that in these earlier periods, Indo-European languages were spoken within a certain latitudinal band, where certain ecological conditions prevailed.”
“The Cossacks and the Pilgrims must have shared some obscure latitudinal gene, some common trait that goes all the way back to the Indo-Europeans.”
“Climate generally warm and stable with little seasonal or latitudinal variation.”
“Notoriously fussy, the trees that produce the fruit that can be made into chocolate grow only along a very slender tropical strip ten to twenty latitudinal degrees north and south of the equator.”
“Plant species are distributed along altitudinal and latitudinal gradients, producing singular plant species composition.”
“Plant species are distributed along elevational and latitudinal gradients, producing singular plant species composition through out the ecoregion along the lines of elevation.”
“Other army air teams or DEA pilots had pinpointed the locations of the jungle labs and noted their latitudinal and longitudinal coordinates.”
“Examples include animals that migrate south for the winter and the regulation of the latitudinal treeline.”
“Superimposed on the latitudinal zonation of forest and tundra is an altitudinal zonation from forest to treeless areas to barren ground in some mountainous regions of the northern taiga.”
