Effects of Spartina alterniflora Invasion on Soil Microbial Community Structure and Ecological Functions

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
It has been reported that the invasion of Spartina alterniflora changed the soil microbial community in the mangrove ecosystem in China, especially the bacterial community, although the response of soil fungal communities and soil microbial ecological ...

Community Structure in Graphs

open access: yes, 2009
Graph vertices are often organized into groups that seem to live fairly independently of the rest of the graph, with which they share but a few edges, whereas the relationships between group members are stronger, as shown by the large number of mutual connections. Such groups of vertices, or communities, can be considered as independent compartments of

Communication and Structured Correlation [PDF]

open access: yesErkenntnis, 2009
Philosophers and social scientists have recently turned to Lewis sender–receiver games to provide an account of how lexical terms can acquire meaning through an evolutionary process. However, the evolution of meaning is contingent on both the particular sender–receiver game played and the choice of evolutionary dynamic.

Community Structures of Networks [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics in Computer Science, 2008
We present an approach to studying the community structures of networks by using linear programming (LP). Starting with a network in terms of (a) a collection of nodes and (b) a collection of edges connecting some of these nodes, we use a new LP-based method for simultaneously (i) finding, at minimal cost, a second edge set by deleting existing and ...

Hierarchical community structure in networks

open access: yesPhysical Review E, 2023
Modular and hierarchical community structures are pervasive in real-world complex systems. A great deal of effort has gone into trying to detect and study these structures. Important theoretical advances in the detection of modular have included identifying fundamental limits of detectability by formally defining community structure using probabilistic

Moving in the Dark: Enlightening the Spatial Population Ecology of European Cave Salamanders

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
We assessed individual interactions, movement ecology and activity patterns of a subterranean population of Speleomantes strinatii, applying spatial capture–recapture modeling to a photographic dataset of 104 individuals. ABSTRACT Space use and movement are fundamental aspects of organisms' ecology, mirroring individual fitness, behavior, and life ...

Composition, interaction networks, and nitrogen metabolism patterns of bacterioplankton communities in a grassland type Lake: a case of Hulun Lake, China

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
The composition of bacterial communities in freshwater ecosystems is influenced by numerous factors including environmental conditions and biological interactions.

An Adaptive Management Model for Brown Bears in Hokkaido: Based on Total Population and the Number of Nuisance Bears

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Bear management changes management actions according to the horizontal axis of the population size and the vertical axis of the number of nuisance bears. Aiming for the target population size of Ntar, Actions I and II protect the bears, and Action IV reduces the population.

Speciation Through the Lens of Population Dynamics: A Theoretical Primer on How Small and Large Populations Diverge

open access: yesPopulation Ecology, EarlyView.
Population size and dynamics fundamentally shape speciation by influencing genetic drift, founder events, and adaptive potential. Small populations may speciate rapidly due to stronger drift, whereas large populations harbor more genetic diversity, which can alter divergence trajectories. We highlight theoretical models that incorporate population size

On Progress for Structured Communications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
We propose a new typing system for the π-calculus with sessions, which ensures the progress property, i.e. once a session has been initiated, typable processes will never starve at session channels. In the current literature progress for session types has been guaranteed only in the case of nested sessions, disallowing more than two session channels ...
