Abstract Quantifying the structure and dynamics of species interactions in ecological communities is fundamental to studying ecology and evolution. While there are numerous approaches to analysing ecological networks, there is not yet an approach that can (1) quantify dissimilarity in the global structure of ecological networks that range from ...

The government–robber comparison: A long‐standing tradition beyond avowed libertarianism
Abstract A government differs from a robber, but they share the common feature of initiating coercion. This similarity has been noticed by libertarians as well as within a distinct scholarly tradition and as a recurring theme throughout Western philosophy.

Detected Shifts Towards Drought‐Adaptive Strategies in the Amazon Forest Over the Last Four Decades
Amazon forests are facing hotter, drier conditions, and we used 40 years of satellite data to look for early signs of ecological change. Combining satellite observations with leaf measurements from more than 3000 trees, we show that many forests now show smaller dry‐season fluctuations in canopy colour—especially in the southern and eastern Amazon ...

Tree Biomass Sensitivity to Ozone Exposure: Insights From a Decade of Free‐Air Experiments
Using a decade of free‐air controlled exposure (FACE) experiments across 17 woody taxa, we evaluated biomass responses to O3 uptake using flux‐based metrics. Increasing phytotoxic ozone dose (POD1) caused consistent declines in relative total (RTB), aboveground (RTAB), and belowground (RTBB) biomass.

Evaluating Allocations of Opportunities
ABSTRACT This paper provides a robust criterion for comparing lists of probability distributions—interpreted as allocations of opportunities—faced by different social groups. We axiomatically argue in favor of comparing those lists of probability distributions on the basis of a uniform—among groups—valuation of their expected utility.
