The ecology of management concepts [PDF]
, 2020 How does the popularity of a concept depend on how it contrasts with and complements existing concepts? We argue that being similar to existing concepts, being located in a popular domain, and being combined with similar existing concepts are important ...

A road map for synthesizing the scaling patterns in ecology [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Ecology studies biodiversity in its variety and complexity. It describes how species distribute and perform in response to environmental changes. Ecological processes and structures are highly complex and adaptive. In order to quantify emerging ecological patterns and investigate their hidden mechanisms, we need to rely on the simplicity of ...

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Dietary manipulations like ketogenic diets are established interventions for recalcitrant epilepsy. However, it remains unknown whether specific macronutrient exposure through dietary environments could possibly extend to primary preventive qualities, associated with changes in epilepsy disease burden (prevalence and incidence).

Ecological fallacy and covariates: new insights based on multilevel modelling of individual data [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 This paper deals with the issue of ecological bias in ecological inference. We provide an explicit formulation of the conditions required for the ordinary ecological regression to produce unbiased estimates and argue that, when these conditions are violated, any method of ecological inference is going to produce biased estimates.

Community ecology can provide behavioral ecology with the tools to ask realistic questions about the current action of natural selection. Evolutionary ecology has moved beyond asking "Why does trait x contribute to reproductive success?" and on to "What are the conditions under which trait x ...
