Global Changes in Lepidopteran Phylogenetic Diversity Across Space and Time

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 1, January 2026.
Amidst increasing reports of insect declines, it is ever more important to understand spatial and temporal insect diversity patterns and processes. In this study, we repurposed the wealth of sequence data initially used for species identification, to detect global changes in the phylogenetic diversity (PD) of Lepidopteran communities over recent ...

Advanced modeling of selection and steering data : beyond Fitts’ law

open access: yes, 2016
Human performance in selection tasks is frequently described by Fitts' law, which states that the average time needed to move to a target and select it is linearly related to the index of difficulty for the task, which is the logarithm of the task ...

Power vs. logarithmic model of Fitts’ law: a mathematical analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Après bientôt soixante années d’études, il reste toujours à déterminer si la loi de Fitts, un modèle célèbre du mouvement de pointage humain, est une loi logarithmique ou de puissance. Dans deux articles abondamment cités, Meyer & al.

Investigating Feedback-Informed Screen-Guided Training to Enhance Myoelectric Control and Predictability

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Screen-guided training is a widely used method for calibrating myoelectric prostheses, wherein users follow visual prompts. However, this approach often fails to capture the complexities of real-world usage when the user is actively engaging with the ...

Jaw and head movement adjustments during jaw function—Comparisons between and within 13‐year‐olds and adults

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Oral Sciences, Volume 133, Issue 6, December 2025.
Abstract Jaw–head movement coordination develops during adolescence. However, functional adjustments during this period remain poorly understood. This study aimed to characterize jaw and head movement adjustments in early adolescents and compare this to adults. Three‐dimensional optical cameras captured jaw and head movements during maximum jaw opening–

Comparison of Interlimb Coordination During Soccer Instep Kicking Between Elite and Amateur Players

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Sport Science, Volume 25, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how interlimb joint coordination influences foot speed during soccer instep kicking, using continuous relative phase (CRP) as a quantitative method. The sample includes 15 elite and 15 amateur players to examine potential differences in coordination patterns and their impact on performance.

Application of Fitts' Law to Individuals with Cerebral Palsy

open access: yes, 2002
Cerebral palsy is a condition that results in motor abnormalities as a direct consequence of injury to the developing brain. Fitts' law, which describes a speed-accuracy tradeoff in visually guided movements, has been shown to characterize the motor ...

Probabilistic Fitts\u27 Law and the Likelihood of the Tunguska Type of Event

open access: yes, 2023
An analogy with the recently suggested probabilistic interpretation of the Fitts\u27 law in the theory of human-computer interactions (HCI) is employed in this analysis to assess the likelihood that a Tunguska type meteorite hits Earth. Two extreme cases

History Roundtable on US Universities and the State: Episodes from the Twentieth Century

open access: yesHistory, Volume 110, Issue 392, Page 546-559, September 2025.
Abstract This roundtable explores four historical episodes in the history of state–university relations in the United States. In doing so, it addresses issues that also figure prominently in present‐day debates, including questions of academic freedom and free speech, the state's role in research funding as well as the international features of higher ...

Linking Individual Performance to Density‐Dependent Population Dynamics to Understand Temperature‐Mediated Genotype Coexistence

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 9, September 2025.
We use a demographic model to explicitly connect individual performance to population‐level dynamics, parameterised using experimental data on competing Daphnia genotypes from two latitudes. We show that higher temperatures increase the likelihood of competitive exclusion of Northern genotypes by Southern genotypes, and highlight neonate sex ratios as ...
