Gravitational energy and cosmic acceleration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Cosmic acceleration is explained quantitatively, as an apparent effect due to gravitational energy differences that arise in the decoupling of bound systems from the global expansion of the universe.

Apparent Competition and Vector-Host Interactions

open access: yesIsrael Journal of Ecology and Evolution, 2010
Infectious disease influences the dynamics of host populations and the structure of species communities via impacts on host demography. Species that share infectious diseases are well-known to interact indirectly through the process of apparent competition, but there has been little attention given to the role of vectors in these indirect interactions.

Short-term indirect interactions between two moth (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) species mediated by shared parasitoids: The benefit of being scarce

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Entomology, 2003
Despite the impact of parasitoids on insect populations being extensively studied, indirect parasitoid-mediated effects remain rarely documented in natural communities.

Natural enemies and biodiversity: The double-edged sword of trophic interactions

open access: yesMètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2019
Natural enemies, that is, species that inflict harm on others while feeding on them, are fundamental drivers of biodiversity dynamics and represent a substantial portion of biodiversity as well.

Intermediate behavior of Kerr tails [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
The numerical investigation of wave propagation in the asymptotic domain of Kerr spacetime has only recently been possible thanks to the construction of suitable hyperboloidal coordinates. The asymptotics revealed an apparent puzzle in the decay rates of

Predation determines different selective pressure on pea aphid host races in a complex agricultural mosaic. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Field assessments were conducted to examine the interplay between host plant and predation in complex agricultural mosaic on pea aphid clover and alfalfa races. In one experiment, we examined the relative fitness on clover race (CR) and alfalfa race (AR)

The Unbearable Beingness of Light, Dressing and Undressing Photons in Black Hole Spacetimes

open access: yes, 2012
Gravitational tidal forces acting on the virtual e+ e- cloud surrounding a photon endow spacetime with a non-trivial refractive index. This has remarkable properties unique to gravitational theories including superluminal low-frequency propagation, in ...

Competition among Aedes aegypti larvae. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Adult Aedes aegypti mosquitoes are important vectors of human disease. The size of the adult female affects her success, fitness, and ability to transmit diseases. The size of the adults is determined during the aquatic larval stage.

Diagrams in the field: Three conceptual approaches in the entries for the 1979 Australian Parliament House design competition

open access: yesInterstices, 2023
Compositional relationships are well established between Walter Burley Griffin and Marion Mahony Griffin’s 1912 urban plan for Canberra and the winning design by Mitchell, Giurgola and Thorp for Australia’s New Parliament House.

Indirect effects of primary prey population dynamics on alternative prey

open access: yes, 2014
We develop a theory of generalist predation showing how alternative prey species are affected by changes in both mean abundance and variability (coefficient of variation) of their predator's primary prey.
