Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control. However, Minimalists argue that agency is just the power to cause a change; acids and boulders are agents too. Many philosophers treat Minimalism as a wild outlier, assuming its falsity without argument.

Applications of hydrodynamic models for modeling drifting jellyfish blooms around the Maltese Islands [PDF]
, 2014 Within the ambit of the MED-JELLYRISK project, the IOI-Malta Operational Centre is coordinating the development of a jellyfish dispersion model capable of generating both a hindcast and a forecast (extending up to a maximum of 4 days following day of ...

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 8, August 2026.Abstract Frontal zones are often areas of increased biological productivity and have hydrographic gradients on short spatial scales. The small scale of gradients poses a challenge in identifying differences in zooplankton community structure and trophic transfer efficiency through the pelagic food web.

CPT: Pharmacometrics &Systems Pharmacology, Volume 15, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Mechanistic PK/PD models represent complex biological systems in which model parameters are in nonlinear, multidimensional parameter spaces and often require robust optimization informed by experimental data, making parameter estimation a critical yet challenging aspect of pharmacometric analysis.

From citizen science to jellyfish dispersion models and molecular studies : tracking the progress of jellyfish science in Malta (Central Mediterranean) [PDF]
, 2015 Following participation within the 1980”s FAO-mediated monitoring exercises of Pelagia noctiluca blooms within Maltese waters, little scientific effort was invested in studying the dynamics of jellyfish blooms within same waters and at developing ...

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 4, August 2026.Abstract Bioinvasions are considered mostly as a biodiversity and conservation hazard, but in specific situations, introduced species can bring ecological or socioeconomic benefits. We assessed the social–ecological role of marine introduced species in the eastern Mediterranean Sea—a global hotspot of bioinvasions and extirpations—and their potential ...

Recruitment to benthic phase of planula and growth of scypozoan polyps (Aurellia aurita) [PDF]
, 2007 In the typical scyphozoan life cycle a fertilized egg transforms into a planula and then into a polyp. The scyphopoly produces one or more medusae asexually, which then reproduce sexually. In the life cycle, the scale of jellyfish bloom may be related to

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 4, Page 2186-2205, August 2026.Genetic diversity of strawberry‐infecting Colletotrichum isolates. Summary Rapid adaptation in fungal plant pathogens is often attributed to sexual recombination, yet many important pathogens are largely clonal. We investigated how genetic and phenotypic diversity arises in the predominantly asexual fungus Colletotrichum nymphaeae, the main cause of ...

Jellyfish blooms in the Mediterranean [PDF]
, 1987 The temporal and spatial distributions of coastal aggregations of the scyphomedusa Pelagia noctiluca around the Maltese Islands during the period 1980 to 1986 were investigated by means of sighting reports from volunteers as well as by periodic ...
