CLIMATE ENGINEERING FROM HINDU‐JAIN PERSPECTIVES

open access: yesZygon, 2019
Although Indic perspectives toward nature are now well documented, climate engineering discussions seem to still lack the views from Indic or other non‐Western sources.

Inequalities in intraspecific plant–lemur interactions drive seed dispersal patterns

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions occur between individuals and accumulate to shape species‐level interaction structure across a community. Skewed interaction structures, where a few individuals are highly connected and most have few interactions, are increasingly identified at the individual‐level.

Speaking the Forbidden: mlecchavāc in Mahābhārata 1.135

open access: yesRhesis
In Indian xenology, the term mleccha refers to an individual who does not conform to the social and linguistic norms of the Āryas. Studies have analysed its multiple uses, including its role in toponymy, religious taboos, and ethnicity.

Floral trait similarity at the community‐level increases reproductive success suggesting facilitation through pollinator sharing

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The ability of plants to attract pollinators is context‐dependent, influenced by floral traits, abundance, and resources from the plant community. Indirect interactions through shared pollinators, from competition to facilitation, may lead to varied reproductive outputs in plants, and the mechanisms behind these interactions remain to be fully ...

Changing views at Banaras Hindu University on the Academic Study of Religion: A first report from an on-going research project [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Given India’s vibrant religious landscape, there is a somewhat surprising paucity of depart‐ ments, centres or even programs for the academic study of religion.

Seed co‐occurrence caused by shared frugivores leaves a long‐lasting signal in the spatial co‐occurrence among plants

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
By dispersing seeds, frugivorous animals affect spatial co‐occurrence of plants, ultimately influencing plant community dynamics. Frugivorous animals are intrinsically involved in plant community dynamics, by dispersing seeds of fleshy‐fruited plants and influencing their spatial co‐occurrence.

The impact of the varna-caste system on marriage and family relations in India: historical and legal dimension

open access: yesLaw and Safety
The article examines the process of marriage and family relations formation and development in India. It is shown that in the pre-Aryan period, although women were not equal in rights with men, they still had freedom of choice in marriage and family life.

Structure of the Local-field factor of the 2-D electron fluid. Possible evidence for correlated scattering of electron pairs

open access: yes, 2003
The static local-field factor (LFF) of the 2-D electron fluid is calculated {\it nonperturbatively} using a mapping to a classical Coulomb fluid $\lbrack$Phys. Rev. Lett., {\bf 87}, 206$\rbrack$.

Fire buffers drought impacts on reproduction in a resprouting Mediterranean shrub

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Fire and drought increasingly co‐occur, exposing plants to greater drought stress during post‐fire resprouting. Yet, the effect of this combination of disturbances on plant fitness remains poorly understood. Here, we examine how post‐fire resprouting influences reproductive success under drought conditions in the Mediterranean shrub Anthyllis ...
