Semantic model-driven development of service-centric software architectures [PDF]

, 2007
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is a recent architectural paradigm that has received much attention. The prevalent focus on platforms such as Web services, however, needs to be complemented by appropriate software engineering methods.

Darwin wasps: a new name heralds renewed efforts to unravel the evolutionary history of Ichneumonidae

Entomological Communications, 2019
The parasitoid wasp family Ichneumonidae is arguably one of the groups for which current knowledge lags most strongly behind their enormous diversity.

Improving Darwin Core for research and management of alien species

Biodiversity Information Science and Standards, 2019
To improve the suitability of the Darwin Core standard for the research and management of alien species, the standard needs to express the native status of organisms, how well established they are and how they came to occupy a location.

Gene flow, ancient polymorphism, and ecological adaptation shape the genomic landscape of divergence among Darwin's finches

Genome Research, 2017
Genomic comparisons of closely related species have identified “islands” of locally elevated sequence divergence. Genomic islands may contain functional variants involved in local adaptation or reproductive isolation and may therefore play an important ...
