, 2013 We show that the genealogy of any self-similar fragmentation process can be encoded in a compact measured real tree. Under some Malthusian hypotheses, we compute the fractal Hausdorff dimension of this tree through the use of a natural measure on the set

Analysis of DNA sequence variation within marine species using Beta-coalescents [PDF]
, 2011 We apply recently developed inference methods based on general coalescent processes to DNA sequence data obtained from various marine species. Several of these species are believed to exhibit so-called shallow gene genealogies, potentially due to extreme

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Research Summary We explore how dominant coalitions' political goals influence firms' responses to performance feedback, introducing the concept of political slack. We propose that dominant coalitions use opportunities created by strong firm performance to make changes that reinforce their dominance while making defensive maneuvers to ...

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the interaction of organisational culture, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and Indigenous values in Aotearoa‐New Zealand's fishing industry, focusing on Māori‐owned and non–Māori‐owned companies. It reveals how Māori values shape company culture and how CSR aligns with them. Using Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory,

Freedom of Scientific Inquiry and Democracy. A Systems‐Theoretical Approach
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The article examines the relationship between democracy and one of its inherent features: freedom of scientific inquiry—a multi‐layered concept closely intertwined with the broader notion of academic freedom—both of which are increasingly under threat worldwide. The paper advocates for the use of Luhmann's theoretical framework to analyse this

The Linnaean revolution – A history of the Natural System
TAXON, EarlyView.Abstract A very brief history of the Natural System (NS) is presented, focusing on angiosperms. The account is divided into four parts. The first, “Setting the stage”, gives an outline of my understanding of evolutionary ontology and how this reflects on taxonomy.

Plant Species Biology, EarlyView.Recent research has ignited a renewed interest in Ceratozamia cycads, unveiling their remarkable diversity. While previous studies primarily focused on morphology, this investigation employs a multidisciplinary approach, integrating phylogenetics, morphology, and ecological niches. Our methods identify seven distinct lineages as separate species.

, 2019 We consider the evolution of the genealogy of the population currently alive in a Feller branching diffusion model. In contrast to the approach via labeled trees in the continuum random tree world, the genealogies are modeled as equivalence classes of ...
