Dynamic Analysis of Bet-Hedging Strategies as a Protection Mechanism against Environmental Fluctuations [PDF]
In order to increase their robustness against environmental fluctuations, many biological populations have developed bet-hedging mechanisms in which the population `bets' against the presence of prolonged favorable environmental conditions by having a few individual behaving as if they sensed a threatening or stressful environment.

Protecting a quantum state from environmental noise by an incompatible finite-time measurement [PDF]
We show that measurements of finite duration performed on an open two-state system can protect the initial state from a phase-noisy environment, provided the measured observable does not commute with the perturbing interaction. When the measured observable commutes with the environmental interaction, the finite-duration measurement accelerates the rate
