From Data to Knowledge to Wisdom: Lessons Learned From the Vancouver Rat Project

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
A synthesis of 15 years of research conducted by the Vancouver Rat Project revealed that: (1) Pathogen ecology within rat colonies is the result of complex interactions among rats, pathogens, and vectors. (2) Local and global population structures influence rat and pathogen ecology.

Same Same, but Different: A Glossary of Carcino‐Entomology as a Basis for an Improved Communication and for a Modern View of Carcinology Encompassing Entomology

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One core aspect of science is communication, both among researchers as well as with the public. For successful communication, it is crucial that the terminology used is clear to avoid misunderstandings. Especially when researchers working on different groups of organisms communicate, they often use different terms for similar morphological ...

Candidatus ‘Rickettsia senegalensis’ in cat fleas in Senegal

open access: yesNew Microbes and New Infections, 2015
Epidemiological studies of Rickettsia felis and related bacteria are very important, because the natural cycle of this important infection has not yet been established. The recent emergence of R.

Nonprofit Organizations as Platforms: How Local Embeddedness Shapes Value Creation

open access: yesCreativity and Innovation Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Platforms have a business model that, through large‐scale network effects, orchestrates available resources by facilitating interactions between two or more distinct user groups. Although most research focuses on digital, for‐profit platforms, nonprofit organizations offer a compelling alternative arena for studying digital and non‐digital ...

Magical Realist Hauntings in Children's Everyday Encounters With Death, or, How to Believe in Impossible Things

open access: yesChildren &Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Modern deaths have become reiterations. That is, despite exhibiting a seemingly high‐level of diversity in death's representations in everyday lives, death suffers from a particular onto‐epistemological poverty that prevents it from being imagined otherwise.

The flea on the Magnetic Elephant

open access: yesLetters in Mathematical Physics
Abstract We investigate a two-dimensional magnetic Laplacian with two radially symmetric magnetic wells. Its spectral properties are determined by the tunneling between them. If the tunneling is weak and the wells are mirror symmetric, the two lowest eigenfunctions are localized in both wells being distributed roughly equally. In this

Larval character evolution in Holometabola (Insecta)

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Larvae, a novel type of immature stage, are a crucial innovation of the Holometabola. Larval features therefore provide key evidence for reconstructing evolutionary transformations in this megadiverse group. Here we present the first formal reconstruction of larval character evolution, using maximum parsimony and Bayesian ancestral‐state ...
