Linking pattern to process in cultural evolution: explaining material culture diversity among the Northern Khanty of Northwest Siberia [PDF]
, 2009 Book description: This volume offers an integrative approach to the application of evolutionary theory in studies of cultural transmission and social evolution and reveals the enormous range of ways in which Darwinian ideas can lead to productive ...

The evolutionary ecology of ethanol
Trends in Ecology & EvolutionThe consumption of ethanol has frequently been seen as largely restricted to humans. Here, we take a broad eco-evolutionary approach to understanding ethanol's potential impact on the natural world. There is growing evidence that ethanol is present in many wild fruits, saps, and nectars and that ethanol ingestion offers benefits that favour adaptations

Interaction of Ladle Slag With Varying SiO2 Content and Recyclate‐Based MgO–C Refractories
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Ladle slags (CaO/Al2O3 = 1) with 1–20 wt% SiO2 were investigated in contact with industrial MgO–C refractories fabricated from fresh magnesia and 50 wt% recyclate. The sessile drop method at 1600°C reveals intensive gas formation, delayed slag infiltration in recyclate‐based samples, and, under high‐SiO2 slag, formation of a dense MgAl2O4‐rich ...

Evolution of Spatially Inhomogeneous Eco-Systems: An Unified Model Based Approach
, 2004 Recently we have extended our the "unified" model of evolutionary ecology to incorporate the {\it spatial inhomogeneities} of the eco-system and the {\it migration} of individual organisms from one patch to another within the same eco-system.

Evolutionary and Ecological Genomics of Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2005 Why are some plants self-pollinating? What determines the timing of flowering and germination? Why do resistant and susceptible alleles of pathogenresistant genes coexist in populations? These are just a few questions traditionally asked in the domain of ecology and evolutionary biology, and comprehensive answers to these and other questions are ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Collagen hydrolysate is evaluated as a sustainable binder for MgO‐C refractories. Its thermally induced cross‐linking and gas release lead to expansion and cracking in large bricks, but tailored batches with lignin, recyclates, or fine graphite improve the gas release while thermal treatment and stability.

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The present study investigates recycling of NiTi shape memory alloys via vacuum induction melting. An ingot was synthesized from elemental Ni and Ti and subjected to three subsequent remelting cycles. Remelting increases process durations and impurity levels and adversely affects microstructures and functional properties.

Estimating pollination success with novel artificial flowers: Effects of nectar concentration
Journal of Pollination Ecology, 2012 We developed novel artificial flowers that dispense and receive powdered food dyes as pollen analogues while their nectar is replenished by capillary action.

From evolutionary morphology towards evolutionary ecology [PDF]
, 2008 Entsprechend den Frageweisen nach proximater Ursache bzw. ultimater oder historischer Bedingtheit lassen sich Entwicklungs-, Funktions-, Evolutions- und phylogenetische Morphologie unterscheiden.
