Ecography, EarlyView.Freshwater environments are intertwined with human activities and the consequence has been environmental degradation and biodiversity loss. Fish provide key ecological and economic benefits, and fish abundance and diversity can be affected by human activities resulting in functional diversity (FD) changes that might scale up to ecosystem impacts ...

The scaling of seed‐dispersal specialization in interaction networks across levels of organization
Ecography, EarlyView.Natural ecosystems are characterized by a specialization pattern where few species are common while many others are rare. In ecological networks involving biotic interactions, specialization operates as a continuum at individual, species, and community levels. Theory predicts that ecological and evolutionary factors can primarily explain specialization.

Development of a Novel Modified Mean‐Line Approach for Performance Prediction of Axial Compressors
Energy Science &Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT There is significant importance in accurate prediction of axial flow compressor characteristics at different conditions. Different techniques and models have been proposed for performance prediction of axial compressors. Because of its lower computational cost and high speed the meanline algorithm has been widely applied in preliminary design ...
