Long‐term changes in functional diversity and its implications for mammalian conservation and ecological restoration in a grassland ecosystem

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Paleontological data provide information on natural environments prior to human influence, which are useful for tracking changes in ecosystem functioning through time. During the Late Pleistocene, about 10% of terrestrial mammalian species were extinct in South America.

Fixed point theorems for interpolative orthogonal relational in TVS-valued cone metric spaces

Boundary Value Problems
This article explores the fixed point theorem for a novel class of interpolative relation theoretical convex mappings in TVS-valued cone metric spaces, integrating relational theory, convexity, and interpolation properties to offer fresh perspectives and

Updated Chorotypes of Terrestrial Vertebrates Shed New Light on Zoogeographical Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Chorotype represents a fundamental concept for identifying groups of species that share similar distribution patterns. However, the last comprehensive revision of animal chorotypes in China was performed more than a decade ago. Here, we update the chorotype classifications for 1040 species and propose an updated zoogeographical regionalization scheme ...

Profits and Exploitation: A Reappraisal [PDF]

This paper provides a mathematical analysis of the Marxian theory of the exploitation of labour in general equilibrium models. The two main definitions of Marxian exploitation in the literature, proposed by Morishima (1974) and Roemer (1982 ...

Sensory Biology of the Franciscana (Pontoporia blainvillei, Pontoporiidae, Cetartiodactyla): Ontogenetic Modifications of Vibrissae and Vibrissal Crypts

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
The transition of cetaceans from a terrestrial to an aquatic environment involved a crucial sensory adaptation to environments with limited visibility. Vibrissae, important mechanoreceptors, undergo an ontogenetic transformation in odontocetes. This research describes the histomorphology of vibrissae and crypts at different developmental stages ...

Regularized reduced rank regression for mixed predictor and response variables

British Journal of Mathematical and Statistical Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract In this paper, we introduce the Generalized Mixed Regularized Reduced Rank Regression model (GMR4), an extension of the GMR3 model designed to improve performance in high‐dimensional settings. GMR3 is a regression method for a mix of numeric, binary and ordinal response variables, while also allowing for mixed‐type predictors through optimal ...

A Semi‐Analytical Energy Model for Particle‐Based Fluid Simulation Involving Complex Moving Boundaries

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract While semi‐analytical boundary handling techniques have proven effective for modeling particle‐based fluid‐solid interactions, they can become unstable when applied to mesh boundaries undergoing dynamic motion or featuring complex, sharp geometries.

Convex Operators in Vector Optimization: Directional Derivatives and the Cone of Decrease Directions [PDF]

, 1999
The paper is devoted to the investigation of directional derivatives and the cone of decrease directions for convex operators on Banach spaces. We prove a condition for the existence of directional derivatives which does not assume regularity of the ...

Fast Injective Mesh Parameterization via Beltrami Coefficient Prolongation

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a highly efficient and robust method for free boundary injective parameterization of disk‐like triangle meshes with low isometric distortion. Harmonic function–based approaches, grounded in a strong mathematical framework, are widely employed.

Volume Quantization with Flexible Singularities for Hexahedral Meshing

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present a novel algorithm for quantization and subsequent hexahedral mesh generation from seamless volumetric maps. Quantization is the process of choosing integers that represent the numbers of hexahedral elements to be placed in each region of the volume, and transforming the seamless map into an integer‐grid map matching that choice ...
