The problem of pattern and scale in ecology
, 1992 It is argued that the problem of pattern and scale is the central problem in ecology, unifying population biology and ecosystems science, and marrying basic and applied ecology.

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The relationship between proteome size, amino acid composition, and lifespan across 276 vertebrate species is investigated. Proteome size correlates positively with lifespan in mammals but negatively in birds and fish. While proteome composition varies among classes, no single amino acid frequency correlates with lifespan.

Symbology from set theory applied to ecological systems: Gause's exclusion principle and applications [PDF]
arXiv, 2005 We introduce a symbolic representation like set theory to consider ecologic interactions between species (ECOSET). The ecologic exclusion principle (Gause) is put in a symbolic way and used as operational tool to consider more complex cases like interaction with sterile species (SIT technique), two species with two superposed sources (niche ...

Assessing the Ecological Value: Monetizing Process Innovations in Tailored Forming
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article introduces a method for evaluating the sustainability of innovations, even with limited data. The method is illustrated through an analysis of the “Tailored Forming” technology, which explores the impact of sustainability on economic value added.

Simulation of Inhomogeneous Refractive Index Fields Induced by Hot Tailored Forming Components
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents a simulation model for simulating inhomogeneous refractive index fields (IRIF) in hot‐forged components, accounting for thermal influences and complex geometries. Through this simulation, a priori knowledge about the propagation of the IRIF can be obtained, allowing for the positioning of the component or an optical measurement ...

AI as a Child of Mother Earth: Regrounding Human-AI Interaction in Ecological Thinking [PDF]
The anthropocentric cultural idea that humans are active agents exerting control over their environments has been largely normalized and inscribed in practices, policies, and products of contemporary industrialized societies. This view underlies a human-ecology relationship based on resource and knowledge extraction.

Ecologically unequal exchange and ecological debt
Journal of Political Ecology, 2016 This article introduces a Special Section on Ecologically Unequal Exchange (EUE), an underlying source of most of the environmental distribution conflicts in our time. The nine articles discuss theories, methodologies, and empirical case studies pertaining to ecologically unequal exchange, and address its relationship to ecological debt.

Integrating animal temperament within ecology and evolution
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2007 Temperament describes the idea that individual behavioural differences are repeatable over time and across situations. This common phenomenon covers numerous traits, such as aggressiveness, avoidance of novelty, willingness to take risks, exploration ...
