Scale‐space image analysis for mapping spotted knapweed in grassland ecosystems
Abstract Premise This study investigates the value of scale‐space representations of spatial features for the identification and mapping of invasive plants using high‐resolution multispectral imagery. Scale‐space representations combine the two‐dimensional spatial domain with a third dimension representing spatial scale, such that features can be ...

Tracheal chambers as a key innovation for high‐frequency emission in bat echolocation
Abstract Key innovations are pivotal for biodiversity and facilitating evolutionary success, enabling organisms' adaptation to various ecological niches through the diversification of phenotypic traits. In mammals, notable adaptations include evolving hypsodonty for grazing on grasses and, for bats, evolving echolocation and wing acquisition.

Modeling and parameter estimation for fractional large‐scale interconnected Hammerstein systems
Abstract This paper addresses the challenge of modeling and identifying large‐scale interconnected systems exhibiting memory effects, hereditary properties, and non‐local interactions. We propose a fractional‐order extension of the Hammerstein architecture that incorporates Grünwald–Letnikov operators to capture complex dynamics through multiple ...

Subspace‐Based System Identification From Binary Measurements
ABSTRACT This paper is concerned with subspace identification from binary measurements for systems whose dynamical behavior can be splited into a deterministic and a stochastic subsystem. An identification algorithm is detailed. The main contribution of the proposed identification algorithm lies in the identification of both the deterministic subsystem

Evidence for adaptive explanations of semelparity in animals
ABSTRACT Semelparity, the reproductive strategy of reproducing once, is widespread but uncommon in animals. Classes of models to explain the evolution of semelparity are based either on age structure and mortality schedules – demographic models in which high post‐reproductive mortality risk favours high reproductive effort and semelparity results from ...

ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...
