A null model for testing thermodynamic optimization in ecological systems [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 Several authors have hypothesized that ecological systems are subject to thermodynamic optimization, which, if proven correct, could represent a long sought general principle of organization in ecology. Although there have been recent advances, this still remains as an unresolved topic, and ecologists lack a general method to test thermodynamic ...

Disentangling the effects of geographic and ecological isolation on genetic differentiation [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Populations can be genetically isolated both by geographic distance and by differences in their ecology or environment that decrease the rate of successful migration. Empirical studies often seek to investigate the relationship between genetic differentiation and some ecological variable(s) while accounting for geographic distance, but common ...

Smart Dust for Chemical Mapping
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review article explores the advancement of smart dust networks for high‐resolution spatial and temporal chemical mapping. Comprising miniature, wireless sensors, and communication devices, smart dust autonomously collects, processes, and transmits data via swarm‐based communication.

Spatially-constrained clustering of ecological networks [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Spatial ecological networks are widely used to model interactions between georeferenced biological entities (e.g., populations or communities). The analysis of such data often leads to a two-step approach where groups containing similar biological entities are firstly identified and the spatial information is used afterwards to improve the ecological ...

A Natural Lignification Inspired Super‐Hard Wood‐Based Composites with Extreme Resilience
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Super‐hard wood‐based composites (WBC) are designed and developed inspired by the mesoscale homogeneous lignification process intrinsic to tree growth. This innovative hybrid structure is achieved by leveraging the infusion of low‐molecular‐weight phenol formaldehyde resin into the cell walls of thin wood slices, followed by a unique multi‐layer ...
