Evolution education is a complex landscape [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2019
Researchers in various contexts have long struggled with an apparent disconnect between an individual’s level of understanding of biological evolution and their acceptance of it as an explanation for the history and diversity of life. Here, we discuss the main factors associated with acceptance of evolution and chart a path forward for evolution ...

Modeling postbreakup landscape development and denudational history across the southeast African (Drakensberg Escarpment) margin [PDF]

, 2002
We employ a numerical surface processes model to study the controls on postbreakup landscape development and denudational history of the southeast African margin.

Streamflow recession patterns can help unravel the role of climate and humans in landscape co-evolution [PDF]

, 2016
Traditionally, long-term predictions of river discharges and their extremes include constant relationships between landscape properties and model parameters.

European tree-ring isotopes indicate unusual recent hydroclimate

Communications Earth & Environment, 2023
The 2015–2018 summer drought event was unprecedented in Western and Central Europe over the last 400 years, whereas multi-year droughts were more frequent during the Maunder Minimum, according to a hydroclimate reconstruction using tree-ring stable ...

Kauri Tree‐Ring Stable Isotopes Reveal a Centennial Climate Downturn Following the Antarctic Cold Reversal in New Zealand

Geophysical Research Letters, 2021
The dynamics of the Late Glacial have been demonstrated by numerous records from the Northern Hemisphere and far fewer from the Southern Hemisphere (SH).

Fitness Landscapes and Evolution [PDF]

, 1996
The concept of fitness is introduced, and a simple derivation of the Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection (which states that the average fitness of a population increases if its variance is nonzero) is given. After a short discussion of the adaptative walk model, a short review is given of the quasispecies approach to molecular evolution and to the

The Genomic Landscape of Compensatory Evolution [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2014
Adaptive evolution is generally assumed to progress through the accumulation of beneficial mutations. However, as deleterious mutations are common in natural populations, they generate a strong selection pressure to mitigate their detrimental effects through compensatory genetic changes.

Landscape science: a Russian geographical tradition [PDF]

, 2007
The Russian geographical tradition of landscape science (landshaftovedenie) is analyzed with particular reference to its initiator, Lev Semenovich Berg (1876-1950). The differences between prevailing Russian and Western concepts of landscape in geography

Quantitative Modeling of Landscape Evolution

, 2022
This chapter reviews quantitative modeling of landscape evolution. Quantitative modeling is contrasted with conceptual or physical modeling, and four categories of model studies are presented. Procedural studies focus on model experimentation. Descriptive studies use models to learn about landscapes in general.
