Trait coevolution and causal inference using generalized dynamic phylogenetic models

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Phylogenetic comparative methods are widely used to study trait coevolution across biological and cultural domains. The most common methods are phylogenetic generalized linear (mixed) models, phylogenetic path analysis, Pagel's ‘discrete’ method and Ornstein–Uhlenbeck models. While some frameworks like generalized linear mixed models are quite

Colonial-era settlements and post-colonial legacies have increased the loss of montane forests in the central highlands of Kenya

Communications Earth & Environment
Long-term historical studies of montane tropical forest loss in eastern Africa have been relatively neglected compared to other world regions, despite ramifications for biodiversity, climate crises, and knock-on effects on the African continent. Moreover,

Coinvasional disruptions to island pollinator networks

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biological invasions can adversely affect pollinator diversity by threatening the maintenance of animal‐pollinated plant communities. Although most studies have examined single invasive species, accelerating species introductions driven by global trade highlight the need to understand how multiple co‐occurring invaders jointly influence ...

Large Megathrust Earthquakes Tend to Sustain an Increasingly Longer Duration Than Expected

Geophysical Research Letters
The moment‐duration (M0‐T) scaling law reveals fundamental earthquake physics across various sizes and tectonic settings. However, the validity of the cubic relation (M0 ∝ T3) inferred for large (Mw ≥ 7) megathrust events has been recently questioned due

Notes from the Greenhouse World: A Study in Coevolution, Planetary Sustainability, and Community Structure

, 2009
This paper explores coevolution and governance of common goods using models of coevolving biospheres, in which adapting populations must collectively regulate their planet's climate or face extinction.

Trust and fairness in platform–supplier contracts: Navigating supplier concerns in the sharing economy

Decision Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Trust and fairness are critical to the sustainable development of the sharing economy, particularly in platform–supplier relationships, where numerous individual suppliers offer access to their durable assets without transferring ownership. Motivated by the real‐world phenomenon of personalized wages and informed through direct interactions ...

The Web as an Adaptive Network: Coevolution of Web Behavior and Web Structure

, 2011
Much is known about the complex network structure of the Web, and about behavioral dynamics on the Web. A number of studies address how behaviors on the Web are affected by different network topologies, whilst others address how the behavior of users on ...

Government support, regional well‐being, and the pivots of UK SMEs during a crisis

European Management Review, EarlyView.
Abstract Pivoting—a substantive transformation of the established business model (e.g., reformulation of goods, services, processes, or organizational methods in a new or significantly improved manner)—has emerged as a crisis response strategy of small‐ and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs).

3‐D Modeling of Differential Exhumation of Ultrahigh‐Pressure Metamorphic Rocks Driven by Increasing Plate Divergence

Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems
Petrological and seismic constraints suggest differential sampling depth for ultrahigh pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks exposed in different segments of the fossil subduction zone of the Western Alps. However, the mechanisms for the observed differential

Assessing soil and native high Andean grassland quality under grazing: A case study from the wet Puna of Peru

Grassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract High Andean grasslands are vulnerable to changes in their nutritional quality and carbon sequestration capacity, especially in grazing systems. This study evaluated soil quality and native grasses by measuring carbon, physicochemical parameters, and the nutritional quality of predominant species in the wet Puna of Junín, Peru.
