Morita contexts as lax functors

open access: yes, 2013
Monads are well known to be equivalent to lax functors out of the terminal category. Morita contexts are here shown to be lax functors out of the chaotic category with two objects.

Aniulus Paludicolens, N. SP. (Julida: Paraiulidae), a Bog-Dwelling Milliped [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Almost without exception, millipeds require a continuously moist substratum, yet they do not tolerate flooding. Other ecological factors that limit their distribution are subtle and difficult to recognize. Aniulus paludicolens, n.

How Large, Decayed, and Moist Must Rotting Logs Be to Act as Thermally Buffered Microhabitats in Temperate Eastern United States Forests?

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study addresses the ecological role of coarse woody debris (CWD) as a thermally buffered microhabitat for saproxylic organisms in temperate eastern US forests. We measured internal and external log temperatures across four seasons in Southern Appalachian forests to test how log diameter, decay stage, and moisture influence thermal buffering.

Anisotropic community turn‐over at habitat edges informs on assembly drivers: simulation and empirical test on soil macrofauna

open access: yesOikos, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Biodiversity dynamics in heterogeneous landscapes is the result of a complex interplay between movement processes of organisms within and between habitat patches, and niche filtering processes due to spatially varying environmental conditions. Disentangling the relative influences of these different processes on community assembly and dynamics is a ...

Geometric Path Integrals. A Language for Multiscale Biology and Systems Robustness

open access: yes, 2011
In this paper we suggest that, under suitable conditions, supervised learning can provide the basis to formulate at the microscopic level quantitative questions on the phenotype structure of multicellular organisms.

Studying the Zhuangzi: An Institutional Approach

open access: yesPhilosophy Compass, Volume 21, Issue 3, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Comparative political philosophy has recently grown in prominence, but most attention focuses on Confucians such as Confucius, Mencius, and Xunzi. Daoists, particularly Zhuangzi, have long been neglected. This paper proposes an “institutional approach” to Zhuangzi's philosophy, examining what institutions can create a social environment that ...

Hay-bait traps are a useful tool for sampling of soil dwelling millipedes and centipedes

open access: yesZooKeys, 2015
Some species of centipedes and millipedes inhabit upper soil layers exclusively and are not recorded by pitfall trapping. Because of their sensitivity to soil conditions, they can be sampled quantitatively for evaluation of soil conditions.

The embryoid development of Strigamia maritimaand its bearing on post-embryonic segmentation of geophilomorph centipedes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
This is the final version. It was first published by BioMed Central at http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/11/1/58.Background Many arthropods add body segments post-embryonically, including most of the myriapods.

An Increase in Animal Diversity was Facilitated by Ecologically‐Driven Brain Complexity Throughout the Cambrian

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2026.
The Brain‐First Hypothesis suggests that the Cambrian transition from animals with simple body plans and simple brains to more complex animals was driven by a selection for brains with increased neural processing, following increased ecological complexity, and the networks underlying brain development were co‐opted to pattern other complex systems ...

Discovery of a second geophilomorph species (Myriapoda: Chilopoda) having twenty-seven leg-bearing segments, the lowest number recorded up to the present in the centipede order geophilomorpha [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Schendylops ramirezi sp. nov. (Myriapoda: Chilopoda), a tiny schendylid centipede (from Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil), is hereby described and illustrated based on the female holotype, male and female paratypes, and additional non-type specimens.
