Adaptive Bet-Hedging Revisited: Considerations of Risk and Time Horizon [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Models of adaptive bet-hedging commonly adopt insights from Kelly's famous work on optimal gambling strategies and the financial value of information. In particular, such models seek evolutionary solutions that maximize long term average growth rate of lineages, even in the face of highly stochastic growth trajectories.

Titanium Oxysulfate‐Derived 1D Lepidocrocite Titanate Nanostructures

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel synthesis protocol is presented for creating high‐quality titania nanofilaments. This method transcends the limitations of traditional techniques, leveraging a solution precipitation process fine‐tuned for lower temperatures and minimal reagent use. The result?

On top of a Mediterranean Massif: Climate change and conservation of orophilous moths at the southern boundary of their range (Lepidoptera: Macroheterocera)

European Journal of Entomology, 2009
During the last few decades the tree line has shifted upward on Mediterranean mountains. This has resulted in a decrease in the area of the sub-alpine prairie habitat and an increase in the threat to strictly orophilous moths that occur there.

Consideration of extinction risks for salmonids / [PDF]

, 1993
Under the National Forest Management Act of 1979, the USDA Forest Service is charged with maintaining viable populations of all existing native vertebrate species on lands they administer. Accomplishment of this responsibility requires complete assessment of all federally authorized, funded, or implemented projects that may jeopardize the continued ...

Ultra‐Flexible µ‐ECoG Arrays Based on PEDOT:PSS Micropillars

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates an efficient procedure for fabricating ultra‐flexible neural interfaces endowed with micropatterned microelectrodes to increase surface area and characterized by extremely low impedance values to enable high‐quality recordings. The home‐built device has been shown to record somatosensory evoked potentials in vivo with exceptional

Understanding the Growth and Properties of Sputter‐Deposited Phase‐Change Superlattice Films

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The study explores the sputter deposition of highly textured chalcogenide superlattice films for phase‐change memory applications. It examines the effects of temperature, pressure, and seeding layer on film growth, constructing a pseudo‐phase diagram to understand the effect of each growth parameter.

Durable Anti‐fogging Polymer Coatings Based on C,H Insertion Cross–linking (CHic) That Are User and Environmentally Friendly

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Highly photoreactive polymer networks prevent fogging by forming uniform water films. Activated by visible light and cross‐linked by CH insertion, these coatings exhibit excellent water film formation, transparency, and durability, even after frequent washing.

Border Disease Virus: an exceptional driver of chamois populations among other threats

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Though it is accepted that emerging infectious diseases are a threat to planet biodiversity, little information exists about their role as drivers of species extinction. Populations are also affected by natural catastrophes and other pathogens, making it
