Habitat Complexity Reduces the Feeding Strength of Freshwater Predators

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.
We investigated how habitat complexity influences the feeding responses of an ambush predator (Ischnura elegans) and a pursuit predator (Notonecta glauca) preying on Asellus aquaticus. Feeding rates of I. elegans were primarily affected by the presence or absence of structure, whereas N.

Rationalizing Irrational Beliefs [PDF]

open access: yes
In this paper, we re-examine various previous experimental studies of the Centipede Game in the literature. These experiments found that players rarely follow the subgame-perfect equilibrium strategies of the game, and various modifications to the game ...

A globally influential area‐condition metric is a poor proxy for invertebrate biodiversity

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 10, Page 2529-2540, October 2025.
Our results highlight the need to incorporate factors beyond habitat type and condition into site evaluations, and to complement metric use with species‐based surveys. Abstract There is increasing demand for standardised, easy‐to‐use metrics to assess progress towards achieving biodiversity targets and the effectiveness of ecological compensation ...

Team reasoning-Experimental evidence on cooperation from centipede games.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
Previous laboratory studies on the centipede game have found that subjects exhibit surprisingly high levels of cooperation. Across disciplines, it has recently been highlighted that these high levels of cooperation might be explained by "team reasoning",

One for all, all for one---von Neumann, Wald, Rawls, and Pareto

open access: yes, 2020
Applications of the maximin criterion extend beyond economics to statistics, computer science, politics, and operations research. However, the maximin criterion---be it von Neumann's, Wald's, or Rawls'---draws fierce criticism due to its extremely ...

Centipede ladder at quarter filling

open access: yes, 2007
We study the ground state and excitation spectrum of a quasi one-dimensional nanostructure consisting of a pole and rungs oriented in the opposite directions ("centipede ladder", CL) at quarter filling. The spin and charge excitation spectra are found in

Rainbow: Combining Improvements in Deep Reinforcement Learning

open access: yes, 2017
The deep reinforcement learning community has made several independent improvements to the DQN algorithm. However, it is unclear which of these extensions are complementary and can be fruitfully combined.

Mitochondrial activity disruption and local muscle damage induced in mice by Scolopendra polymorpha venom

open access: yesJournal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases
Background: Scolopendra polymorpha (S. polymorpha) is a predatory centipede whose venom contains a multiplicity of biochemical effectors that can cause muscle damage and cumulative cell destruction in its prey.

Can tournaments induce rational play in the centipede game? Exploring dominance vs. strategic uncertainty [PDF]

open access: yes
We compare behavior in a one-shot Centipede game across several payoff structures including nonlinear payoff tournaments. Assuming Nash to be optimal, results suggest nonlinear tournament payoffs based on overall relative rewards are not sufficient to ...
