Optimal L\'{e}vy-flight foraging in a finite landscape
, 2014 We present a simple model to study L\'{e}vy-flight foraging in a finite landscape with countable targets. In our approach, foraging is a step-based exploratory random search process with a power-law step-size distribution $P(l) \propto l^{-\mu}$. We find

Color polymorphism in Anemone coronaria: Correlations with soil, climate, and flowering phenology
American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Flower color polymorphism (FCP) is thought to be driven by multiple selection agents. Although widely associated with visual attraction of multiple pollinators, FCP is also often correlated with abiotic factors. We explored the links between abiotic conditions, flowering phenology, and FCP in the winter‐flowering geophyte Anemone ...

Connection of mobility and foraging - A cross-cultural analysis
Etnoantropološki Problemi, 2007 The goal of this inquiry is to explore the existence and severity of the liaison in-between mobility and cattle breeding. The author has decided to test the hypothesis of a relation between mobility and cattle breading through quantitative analysis of a

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.Abstract Premise Evolutionary theory predicts polymorphism should be rare; however, intraspecific variation in floral color is common and can be attributed to genetic drift, plasticity, or variable selection. Examining floral color polymorphism both within contact zones and across a species' range can reveal the mechanisms maintaining this variation ...

Optimal random search using limited spatial memory [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Lévy walks are known to be efficient movements because Lévy walkers search wide areas while restricting returns to previously visited sites. A self-avoiding walk (SAW) is a series of moves on a lattice that visit the same place only once.

, 1982 1. Theories postulating that sexual task differentiation may lead to polygamy such that the sex investing the least effort in raising the offspring, engages in simultaneous matings, contrast with polygyny in raptors where the male provides most of the ...

Growth Standards for Children With Smith–Magenis Syndrome (SMS)
American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS, OMIM 182290) is a complex syndromic diagnosis marked by neurobehavioral differences and distinct facial dysmorphisms, caused by haploinsufficiency of the retinoic acid‐1 (RAI1) gene either by a pathogenic sequence variant or deletion at chromosome 17p11.2 involving a portion or all of this gene.
