The alpine scrubs and dwarf heaths of the Balkan Peninsula - an exceptional center of floristic richness and endemism [PDF]
Botanica Serbica, 2023 Alpine scrubs (Roso pendulinae-Pinetea mugo) and dwarf heaths (Loiseleurio procumbentis-Vaccinietea) are an exceptional assemblage of rich floristic units which contribute significantly to the overall diversity on the Balkan Peninsula.

Risk Preferences Under Heterogeneous Environmental Risk [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2012 We study risk preferences and their determinants for commercial cattle farmers in Namibia who are subject to high and heterogeneous precipitation risk, using data from questionnaire and field experiments, simulated data for on-farm precipitation risk and data on famers’ previous place of residence. We find that the relationship between risk preferences

The Bogert Effect and environmental heterogeneity [PDF]
Oecologia, 2019 A classic question in evolutionary biology is whether behavioral flexibility hastens or hinders evolutionary change. The latter idea, that behavior reduces the number of environmental states experienced by an organism and buffers that organism against selection, has been dubbed the "Bogert Effect" after Charles Bogert, the biologist who first ...

Earthworms Modulate Impacts of Soil Heterogeneity on Plant Growth at Different Spatial Scales
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Soil heterogeneity (uneven distribution of soil nutrients and/or other properties) is ubiquitous in nature and can greatly affect plant growth. As earthworm activity can influence nutrient redistribution in the soil, we hypothesize that earthworms may ...

Environmental heterogeneity can tip the population genetics of range expansions
eLife, 2019 The population genetics of most range expansions is thought to be shaped by the competition between Darwinian selection and random genetic drift at the range margins.

Active matter clusters at interfaces.
Frontiers in Materials, 2016 Collective and directed motility or swarming is an emergent phenomenon displayed by many self-organized assemblies of active biological matter such as clusters of embryonic cells during tissue development, cancerous cells during tumor formation and ...
