Extinction and morphospace occupation: A critical review
Cambridge Prisms: Extinction, 2023 Processes of extinction, especially selectivity, can be studied using the distribution of species in morphospace. Random extinction reduces the number of species but has little effect on the range of morphologies or ecological roles in a fauna or flora ...

Prefrontal Dopamine in Flexible Adaptation to Environmental Changes: A Game for Two Players
Biomedicines, 2023 Deficits in cognitive flexibility have been characterized in affective, anxiety, and neurodegenerative disorders. This paper reviews data, mainly from studies on animal models, that support the existence of a cortical–striatal brain circuit modulated by ...

Erasing the extinct: the hunt for Caribbean monk seals and museum collection practices [PDF]
História, Ciências, Saúde: Manguinhos, 2022 The Caribbean monk seal (Monachus tropicalis), the only seal species native to Central America, was declared extinct in 2008, with the last confirmed sighting in 1952. This species historically had a broad range throughout the gulf of Mexico.

Are extinction opinions extinct? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Extinction models vary in the information they require, the simplest considering the rate of certain sightings only. More complicated methods include uncertain sightings and allow for variation in the reliability of uncertain sightings. Generally extinction models require expert opinion, either as a prior belief that a species is extinct, or to ...

Threshold dynamics of stochastic cholera epidemic model with direct transmission
AIMS Mathematics, 2023 This paper extends the cholera human-to-human direct transmission model from a deterministic to a stochastic framework. This is expressed as mixed system of stochastic and deterministic differential equations.

Population Synthesis Models for Normal Galaxies with Dusty Disks [PDF]
Journal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2003 To investigate the SEDs of galaxies considering the dust extinction processes in the galactic disks, we present the population synthesis models for normal galaxies with dusty disks. We use PEGASE (Fioc & Rocca-Volmerange 1997) to model them with standard

After the Fall: The Demographic Destiny of a Gorgonian Population Stricken by Catastrophic Mortality
Oceans, 2021 In recent years, the frequency of mass mortality events in marine ecosystems has increased, and several populations of benthic organism have been affected, reducing their density and changing their size and age structure.

Neuron, 2015 Extinction serves as the leading theoretical framework and experimental model to describe how learned behaviors diminish through absence of anticipated reinforcement. In the past decade, extinction has moved beyond the realm of associative learning theory and behavioral experimentation in animals and has become a topic of considerable interest in the ...
