Abstract Standard decision theory ranks risky prospects by their expected utility. This ranking does not change if the values of all possible outcomes are uniformly shifted or dilated. Similarly, if the values of the outcomes are negated, the ranking of prospects by their expected utility is reversed.

Abstract It is well‐recognized in the sciences that a multitude of nonequivalent models are used by researchers to fulfill a range of goals, even for the same target system, a result known broadly as model pluralism. The possibility of the same form of pluralism occurring in logic, however, has not been adequately considered.

Revisiting the relationship between stomatal size and speed across species – a meta‐analysis
Summary The rate of stomatal opening and closure in response to changes in light affects leaf photosynthesis and water use. However, it is unclear how strongly stomatal size (SS) and density (SD) influence stomatal conductance (gs) kinetics, and whether variation arises from methodological differences, guard cell type or degree of amphistomaty.

What Second‐Best Epistemology Could Be
ABSTRACT According to the Theory of the Second Best, in non‐ideal circumstances, approximating ideals might be suboptimal (with respect to a specific interpretation of what “approximating an ideal” means). In this paper, I argue that the formal model underlying the Theory can apply to problems in epistemology.

Objective and Subjective Rationality in a Multiple Prior Model [PDF]
A decision maker is characterized by two binary relations. The first reflects decisions that are rational in an “objective” sense: the decision maker can convince others that she is right in making them.

Linearism, Universalism and Scope Ambiguities
ABSTRACT In this paper, I distinguish two possible families of semantics of the open future: Linearism, according to which future tense sentences are evaluated with respect to a unique possible future history, and Universalism, according to which future tense sentences are evaluated universally quantifying on the histories passing through the moment of

ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle is essential for metabolic health and physical function. While resistance training promotes muscle hypertrophy, alternative therapeutic strategies are needed for individuals unable to engage in physical activity. Because beta2‐adrenergic stimulation induces muscle growth without mechanical load, we assessed muscle ...

Abstract Quantifying the structure and dynamics of species interactions in ecological communities is fundamental to studying ecology and evolution. While there are numerous approaches to analysing ecological networks, there is not yet an approach that can (1) quantify dissimilarity in the global structure of ecological networks that range from ...

Abstract In recent years, several compelling critiques have emerged of approaches that leverage co‐occurrence data to understand the dynamic complexities posed by species interactions. Here, motivated by the key arguments formalized over a century of debate, we use simulations grounded in ecological theory to provide guidance on when co‐occurrence data
