How Changes in Plant Community Structure Affect Ant Communities [PDF]
We investigated how change in plant community composition and vegetative structure brought about by annual grass-specific herbicide application affects terrestrial arthropod communities, with special emphasis on the potential of the endangered Fender’s ...

Alternative stable states established following repeated short‐interval fires in resprouting Eucalyptus temperate forests were associated with declines across multiple ecosystem functions. For example, carbon storage potential was significantly reduced (b: p < 0.001), with alternative states storing substantially less carbon than reference forests ...

Despite severe habitat loss, insect species richness, seasonal fluctuations in richness and temporal β‐diversity did not differ significantly among forests adjacent to the mudflow and reference sites. We found higher wet‐season species richness for ants, bees, butterflies and dung beetles, while termites showed no seasonal change; β‐diversity was ...

The team orienteering problem with variable time windows
Abstract The orienteering problem is well‐established within the domain of operational research. This paper introduces the team orienteering problem with variable time windows (TOPVTW) as a new variant of the team orienteering problem with time windows. The distinguishing feature of the TOPVTW is the adaptive time windows, which evolve dynamically as a

Things at Work: How Things Contribute to Performing Work
Abstract A crucial question for organizations is what constitutes work performance. While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance.

Halogenation of microcapsule walls [PDF]
Procedure for halogenation of confining walls of both gelatin and gelatin-phenolic resin capsules is similar to that used for microencapsulation. Ten percent halogen content renders capsule wall nonburning; any higher content enhances flame-retardant ...

Grassland restoration and conservation is necessary to retain ecosystem services and biodiversity. Insects are ecologically important yet often not the focus of restoration. Beetles in the family Carabidae (carabids) are frequently studied after restoration, but the effects of grassland restoration on beetles in the family Scarabaeidae (scarabs) have ...

Limited contribution by non‐volant small mammals to regeneration in ironstone rocky outcrops
Abstract Introduction Animal‐mediated seed dispersal contributes substantially to natural regeneration in degraded areas. However, the role of seed dispersal by non‐volant small mammals (NVSM), mainly marsupials and rodents, in contributing to regeneration remains underexplored, especially in mountaintop, open‐canopy ecosystems.
