Spatial distributions of niche-constructing populations [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2015 Niche construction theory regards organisms not only as the object of natural selection but also an active subject that can change their own selective pressure through eco-evolutionary feedbacks.

THE EFFECTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL HETEROGENEITY ON THE GENETICS OF FINITE POPULATIONS [PDF]
Genetics, 1973 ABSTRACT The effects on a panmictic population of a patchy environment and stochastic selection were investigated by computer simulation. The model allowed for different patterns and intensities of selection and various densities of distribution of the offspring. It delineated the effects of these variables on the correlation between the

Optimal Environmental Policy for Heterogeneous Governments in China
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2023 The purpose of the article is to study how the shift in the developing philosophy of China’s central leadership has impacted the management style of China’s local governments and, in turn, the country’s economic and environmental equilibrium. We use a real business cycle model with environmental variables and divide governments into those with/without ...

Central Nervous System Tumors Among Infants in Canada: A Report From CYP‐C
Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Central nervous system (CNS) tumors in infants are rare, pose unique clinical challenges, and lack large‐scale evidence‐based data to guide management. This study seeks to describe CNS tumors in Canadian infants and to compare their outcomes with those of older children.

Uncertainty, Learning and Heterogeneity in International Environmental Agreements [PDF]
Environmental and Resource Economics, 2011 This paper concerns the formation of International Environmental Agreements under uncertainty about environmental damage with different models of learning (complete learning, partial learning or no learning). The results of the existing literature are generally pessimistic: the possibility of either complete or partial learning generally reduces the ...

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Survivors of pediatric brain tumors (PBTs) can experience long‐term social difficulties, impacting quality of life. Beyond medical and environmental factors, family psychosocial risk may play a role in social outcomes by shaping the caregiving environment and may provide intervention options.

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Adult survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) are at risk of reduced exercise capacity, decreased physical activity levels, persistent fatigue, and neurocognitive deficits. The aim was to investigate exercise capacity and physical activity levels of adult survivors of childhood ALL and their associations with ...

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 ...
