The current and future role of biota in soil-landscape evolution models [PDF]

open access: yesEarth-Science Reviews, 2022
Biota are major drivers of geomorphological development. Vegetation and soil fauna act as ecosystem engineers, changing the environment through physical structures and individual activities such as litter layering, tree uprooting, and animal mounding ...

On the Evolution of Dispersal in Patchy Landscapes

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, 2006
The paper deals with difference equation models of populations that reproduce and disperse in a landscape consisting of \(k\) patches. The authors consider the evolution of conditional and unconditional dispersers for a general class of multipatch difference equations.

Selection and landscape evolution

2021
Abstract Darwinian natural selection is the best known, but only one, example of selection in nature. Variations occur, and some are more efficient, stable, durable, or better adapted than others and are therefore selected for—that is, they are more likely to occur, to be replicated, to have high functionality, and to persist or grow ...

Virus Evolution on Fitness Landscapes

2023
The landscape paradigm is revisited in the light of evolution in simple systems. A brief overview of different classes of fitness landscapes is followed by a more detailed discussion of the RNA model, which is currently the only evolutionary model that allows for a comprehensive molecular analysis of a fitness landscape.

Evolution in a rugged fitness landscape

Physical Review A, 1992
A variant of Kauffman's {ital NKC}-model for the coevolution of haploid organisms is shown to have two phases: a {ital frozen} phase in which all species eventually reach local fitness maxima and stop evolving, and a {ital chaotic} phase in which a fraction of all species is at local maxima, while another fraction evolves towards maxima.

Evolution of the Electoral Landscape

2022
Abstract This chapter provides an aggregate-level view of the evolution of the electoral landscape that began in the territory and state of Hawaii. It analyzes the growth and transformation of the population structure of the APA community since 1965 to help contextualize continuities and changes in the contours and makeup of the ...

PlaceWorld, and the Evolution of Electronic Landscapes

2004
The vision of an electronic landscape remains an exciting one, and as graphics technology and higher performance networking become more affordable and available, there are increasing opportunities for the kind of research and development described in this chapter.
