Stochastic convergence of persistence landscapes and silhouettes

open access: yesJournal of Computational Geometry, 2015
Persistent homology is a widely used tool in Topological Data Analysis that encodes multi-scale topological information as a multiset of points in the plane called a persistence diagram.

The Influence of Hydrogeomorphology on Food Webs in Riverine Landscapes [PDF]

open access: yesEcology and Evolution
A central tenet of river science is the interaction between flow and the physical habitat template—hydrogeomorphology—that governs biophysical structure and function.

Persistence of Seed Dispersal in Agroecosystems: Effects of Landscape Modification and Intensive Soil Management Practices in Avian Frugivores, Frugivory and Seed Deposition in Olive Croplands

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Farming impacts animal-mediated seed dispersal through mechanisms operating on at least two spatial scales. First, at the landscape scale, through habitat loss and land conversion to agriculture/livestock grazing, and second, at the farm scale, via a ...

Energy landscapes from cryo-EM snapshots: a benchmarking study

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2023
Biomolecules undergo continuous conformational motions, a subset of which are functionally relevant. Understanding, and ultimately controlling biomolecular function are predicated on the ability to map continuous conformational motions, and identify the ...

Does the landscape functionality approach provide insight into rangeland conditions in the Tanqua Karoo region, South Africa? [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2022
The harsh environmental conditions coupled with a long history of overgrazing have altered the ecology of the arid Tanqua Karoo rangelands in South Africa, which necessitates rehabilitation.

Fitness Landscapes of Functional RNAs [PDF]

open access: yesLife, 2015
The notion of fitness landscapes, a map between genotype and fitness, was proposed more than 80 years ago. For most of this time data was only available for a few alleles, and thus we had only a restricted view of the whole fitness landscape. Recently, advances in genetics and molecular biology allow a more detailed view of them.

Generative Art with Swarm Landscapes

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
We present a generative swarm art project that creates 3D animations by running a Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm over synthetic landscapes produced by an objective function.

A Local Optima Network View of Real Function Fitness Landscapes

open access: yesEntropy, 2022
The local optima network model has proved useful in the past in connection with combinatorial optimization problems. Here we examine its extension to the real continuous function domain.

Persistence landscapes of affine fractals

open access: yesDemonstratio Mathematica, 2022
We develop a method for calculating the persistence landscapes of affine fractals using the parameters of the corresponding transformations. Given an iterated function system of affine transformations that satisfies a certain compatibility condition, we ...
