Relation between earthquake swarm activity and tides in the Noto region, Japan

Earth, Planets and Space
The Noto region in Japan has been experiencing earthquake swarm activity since mid-2018, with repeated rises and falls in activity. Crustal deformation (expansion and uplift) observed there since the end of 2020 has been connected to crustal fluids ...

Creativity and Autonomy in Swarm Intelligence Systems [PDF]

, 2012
This work introduces two swarm intelligence algorithms -- one mimicking the behaviour of one species of ants (\emph{Leptothorax acervorum}) foraging (a `Stochastic Diffusion Search', SDS) and the other algorithm mimicking the behaviour of birds flocking (

Earthquake swarms as a long-range precursor to large earthquakes in Turkey [PDF]

Geophysical Journal International, 1982
Summary. Turkey has been the location of a series of major earthquakes during this century. This study is an attempt to predict these in hindsight using swarms of weak earthquakes as a long-range precursor as proposed by Keilis-Borok. Some modifications of the swarm identification algorithm are made and statistical measures of success to judge the ...

Resolving the biome debate: ecological and palaeo‐data concur that the extensive tree‐limited grassy biomes of central and north‐western Madagascar are largely anthropogenic

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT For millennia, human activities have transformed ecosystems globally. Determining which landscapes are predominantly anthropogenic is crucial to conservation and habitat restoration. Madagascar, a critically‐threatened biodiversity hotspot, is a prominent example.

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.
