Studies in Ecological Rationality [PDF]

Topics in Cognitive Science, 2021
AbstractEcological rationality represents an alternative to classic frameworks of rationality. Extending on Herbert Simon's concept of bounded rationality, it holds that cognitive processes, including simple heuristics, are not per se rational or irrational, but that their success rests on their degree of fit to relevant environmental structures.

Functional Interdependence in Coupled Dissipative Structures: Physical Foundations of Biological Coordination

Entropy, 2021
Coordination within and between organisms is one of the most complex abilities of living systems, requiring the concerted regulation of many physiological constituents, and this complexity can be particularly difficult to explain by appealing to physics.

Shrub encroachment alters plant trait response to nitrogen addition in a semi-arid grassland

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Encroachment of shrubs over large regions of arid and semi-arid grassland can affect grassland traits and growth under a background of increasing nitrogen (N) deposition. However, the effects of N input rates on species traits and the growth of shrubs on

Influence of Gate Dams on Yellow River Delta Wetlands

Land, 2022
Nested Delft 3D and Hydrus 1D models were applied to simulate variations in the hydrological process of tidal creeks, soil water, and salt transport in the soil profile of the reconstruction area in the Yellow River Delta under six gate dam scenarios ...

The importance of visual control and biomechanics in the regulation of gesture-speech synchrony for an individual deprived of proprioceptive feedback of body position.

Scientific Reports, 2022
Do communicative actions such as gestures fundamentally differ in their control mechanisms from other actions? Evidence for such fundamental differences comes from a classic gesture-speech coordination experiment performed with a person (IW) with ...

A comparison of metal distribution in surface soil between wetland and farmland in the Sanjiang plain

HydroResearch, 2023
The transformation from wetland to farmland is in vigorous process to gain more grain production. Meanwhile, restoring wetland from farmland is going on due to the important ecological function of wetland.

Foraging Dynamics and Entropy Production in a Simulated Proto-Cell

Entropy, 2022
All organisms depend on a supply of energetic resources to power behavior and the irreversible entropy-producing processes that sustain them. Dissipative structure theory has often been a source of inspiration for better understanding the thermodynamics ...
