Ant Diversity of the Xisha Islands: Community Structure, Exotic Species Colonization, and Ecological Functions in a Tropical Coral Archipelago

open access: yesBiological Diversity, EarlyView.
The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Generalized Bloom Filters

open access: yes, 2008
— In this paper, we propose the Generalized Bloom Filter (GBF), a space-efficient data structure to securely represent a set. Different from the standard Bloom Filter, the GBF imposes an upper bound on the false-positive probability.

The influence of circadian variables on ecotoxicology metabolomics

open access: yesBiological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ecotoxicologists are using metabolomics increasingly to gain insight into toxicological mechanisms and sublethal effects of chemical exposures. Metabolomics offers a sensitive multi‐parameter approach that can detect biochemical responses not obvious using apical and behavioural endpoints.

Sampling Bloom Filter-Based Detection of Unknown RFID Tags

open access: yes, 2015
—Unknown RFID tags appear when the unread tagged objects are moved in or tagged objects are misplaced. This pa-per studies the practically important problem of unknown tag detection while taking both time-efficiency and energy-efficiency of battery ...

An Indicator‐Based Decision Framework for Circular Bioeconomy Transition in the Steel Industry: Integrating Multiphase Learning and Cooperative Game Modelling

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing attention to the circular bioeconomy (CBE), the steel industry currently lacks a standardised, sectoral measurement framework to facilitate a low‐carbon transition. In this study, a decision‐support framework for evaluating CBE performance in the steel industry is proposed.

Leading Toward Sunset or Sunrise? CEO Career Horizon, ESG Performance, Market Leadership, and Underperformance Duration

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine the effect of chief executive officers' (CEOs') career horizons on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and investigate how hard cues influence this performance effect. Our study offers a new perspective of CEO career horizon as a mechanism that enables firms to improve their ESG performance when occupying a ...
