Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Carabid and staphylinid communities are shaped by adjacent habitat type, prey availability and landscape context, influencing natural pest control across agricultural landscapes. Abstract BACKGROUND The functioning of agroecosystems depends on key ecosystem processes that deliver ecosystem services, yet agricultural management has increasingly shifted ...

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: Fraction of Life That Develops Intelligence
Universe, 2019 Do mass extinctions affect the development of intelligence? If so, we may expect to be in a universe that is exceptionally placid. We consider the effects of impacts, supervolcanoes, global glaciations, and nearby gamma ray bursts, and how their rates ...

Review of Economic Studies, 2010 This paper sets out necessary and sufficient empirical conditions for rational intrinsic habits models in the revealed preference tradition of Samuelson (1948), Houthakker (1950), Afriat (1967), and Browning (1989). The conditions in the paper are shown to be computationally straightforward and to yield set identification for certain features of the ...

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Multiverse Predictions for Habitability: The Number of Stars and Their Properties
Universe, 2019 In a multiverse setting, we expect to be situated in a universe that is exceptionally good at producing life. Though the conditions for what life needs to arise and thrive are currently unknown, many will be tested in the coming decades.

Characterizing Exoplanet Habitability
, 2018 A habitable exoplanet is a world that can maintain stable liquid water on its surface. Techniques and approaches to characterizing such worlds are essential, as performing a census of Earth-like planets that may or may not have life will inform our ...

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines the dynamic interactions between climate risk, oil price uncertainty (OPU), and technological innovation in shaping Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to Sustainable Cities and Communities (SCC) across Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries from 2005 to 2024. Using a panel Time‐Varying Interactive Fixed Effects (

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Open Astronomy, 2020 Among different models for determining the habitable zone (HZ) around a star, a Latitudinal Energy Balance Model (LEBM) is very beneficial due to its parametricity which keeps a good balance between complexity and simulation time.
