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 ...

The Sixth Mass Extinction: fact, fiction or speculation?
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2022 There have been five Mass Extinction events in the history of Earth's biodiversity, all caused by dramatic but natural phenomena. It has been claimed that the Sixth Mass Extinction may be underway, this time caused entirely by humans.

Analysis of a stochastic predator-prey system with mixed functional responses and Lévy jumps
AIMS Mathematics, 2021 In this paper, we consider a stochastic two predator-one prey system consisting of prey, intermediate predator and top predator with Lévy jumps. Here we consider Ratio-dependent function response between intermediate predator and top predator and other ...

Extinction behavior for a parabolic p-Laplacian equation with gradient source and singular potential
AIMS Mathematics, 2022 We concern with the extinction behavior of the solution for a parabolic p-Laplacian equation with gradient source and singular potential. By energy estimate approach, Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, a series of ordinary differential inequalities ...

AIMS Neuroscience, 2021 We aimed to investigate the persistent trace of one traumatic event on neurocircuit controls in rats. Conditioning was reflected by reductions in rates of ‘freezing’ and ‘other-than-freezing’ motor activities, between which rats could alternate on ...

Conservation of Colutea gifana, a rare and potential ornamental species, using in vitro method [PDF]
Journal of Cell and Molecular Research, 2010 In vitro methods provide a variety of tools to supplement traditional methods for collection, propagation and preservation of endangered plant species. In this study, an efficient protocol was developed for in vitro propagation of Colutea gifana, a rare ...

Extinction of cue-evoked food seeking recruits a GABAergic interneuron ensemble in the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex of mice [PDF]
, 2020 Animals must quickly adapt food-seeking strategies to locate nutrient sources in dynamically changing environments. Learned associations between food and environmental cues that predict its availability promote food-seeking behaviors.

Correcting for the Effects of Interstellar Extinction [PDF]
, 1998 This paper addresses the issue of how best to correct astronomical data for the wavelength‐dependent effects of Galactic interstellar extinction. The main general features of extinction from the IR through the UV are reviewed, along with the nature of ...

On the basic reproduction number in semi-Markov switching networks
Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021 Basic reproduction number $ \mathcal {R}_0 $ in network epidemic dynamics is studied in the case of stochastic regime-switching networks. For generality, the dependence between successive networks is considered to follow a continuous time semi-Markov ...
