Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Non-Ecological Speciation in Rubyspot Damselflies (Hetaerina spp.). [PDF]

Mol Ecol
ABSTRACT Non‐ecological speciation is a common mode of speciation, which occurs when allopatric lineages diverge in the absence of pronounced ecological differences. Yet, relative to other speciation mechanisms, non‐ecological speciation remains understudied.

Roadkill patterns in Latin American birds and mammals

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 31, Issue 9, Page 1756-1783, September 2022., 2022
Abstract Aim Roads are a major threat for wildlife, degrading habitat and causing mortality via wildlife–vehicle collisions. In Latin America, the conjunction of high biodiversity and a rapidly expanding road network is reason for concern. We introduce an approach that combines species traits and habitat preferences to describe vulnerability and map ...

Journal of Sociolinguistics, Volume 24, Issue 2, Page 165-184, April 2020., 2020
Abstract Minority language education initiatives often aim to resist dominant language regimes and to raise the social status of migrant or autochthonous minorities. We consider how participating children experience these alternative language regimes by analysing drawings made by children in two minority education settings—a Slovene‐German bilingual ...

Construction and Optical Testing of Inflatable Membrane Mirror Using Structured Light Technique

International Journal of Photoenergy, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
Construction and characterization of an inflatable mirror prototype made out of flexible polymeric membranes are being presented. Surfaces were curved by imposing a slight excess of air pressure. Lightweighted, lowcost, and commercially available materials were selected in order to produce solar concentration elements at competitive prices.

Three New Optimal Fourth‐Order Iterative Methods to Solve Nonlinear Equations

Advances in Numerical Analysis, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
We present new modifications to Newton′s method for solving nonlinear equations. The analysis of convergence shows that these methods have fourth‐order convergence. Each of the three methods uses three functional evaluations. Thus, according to Kung‐Traub′s conjecture, these are optimal methods.
