Colonization During Colonialism: Developing a Framework to Assess the Rapid Ecological Transformation of Mauritius’s Pristine Ecosystem

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
The colonization of Mauritius exemplifies the role played by humans in altering the ecosystems of remote oceanic islands. This paper focuses on how we study those islands first colonized under the global mantle of colonialism.

Correcting for the Effects of Interstellar Extinction [PDF]

open access: yes, 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 ...

De-Extinction [PDF]

open access: yesGenes, 2018
De-extinction projects for species such as the woolly mammoth and passenger pigeon have greatly stimulated public and scientific interest, producing a large body of literature and much debate. To date, there has been little consistency in descriptions of de-extinction technologies and purposes.

The Mid-Infrared Extinction Law and its Variation in the Coalsack Nebula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
In recent years the wavelength dependence of interstellar extinction from the ultraviolet (UV), optical, through the near- and mid-infrared (IR) has been studied extensively.

Extinction in Lotka-Volterra model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Competitive birth-death processes often exhibit an oscillatory behavior. We investigate a particular case where the oscillation cycles are marginally stable on the mean-field level.

Cannabidiol regulation of learned fear: implications for treating anxiety-related disorders

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2016
Anxiety and trauma-related disorders are psychiatric diseases with a lifetime prevalence of up to 25%. Phobias and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are characterized by abnormal and persistent memories of fear-related contexts and cues.

A Quantitative Comparison of SMC, LMC, and Milky Way UV to NIR Extinction Curves

open access: yes, 2003
We present an exhaustive, quantitative comparison of all of the known extinction curves in the Small and Large Magellanic Clouds (SMC and LMC) with our understanding of the general behavior of Milky Way extinction curves.

Mass extinctions [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2005
Factors influencing the evolution of complex traits such as body size are notoriously difficult to study but a new review of work on marine iguanas in the Galapagos islands suggests an answer may lie in the interplay of natural and sexual selection.

Has the Polyploid Wave Ebbed?

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
There was a wave of whole genome duplications (WGD) during and subsequent to the K-Pg interface, which was followed by an increase in the proportion of species that were polyploid.
