Decision-Making of Fredholm Operator on a New Variable Exponents Sequence Space of Supply Fuzzy Functions Defined by Leonardo Numbers

Contemporary Mathematics
In this article, we will use a weighted regular matrix formed by Leonardo numbers and variable exponent sequence spaces to build a new stochastic space. We have proposed various geometric and topological structures for this new space, as well as the multiplication operator that operates on it.

Conservation implications of shifting habitat use in migrating insects: Selection patterns in a threatened damselfly show that season‐specific actions are needed

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Well‐preserved heathlands of NW Italy are the main overwintering habitat of Sympecma paedisca, while grassy margins in farmland are used only in summer and are avoided from autumn onwards. Grassy margins in farmland act as corridors during the species' migrations between its breeding (ricefields) and overwintering (lowland heathlands) grounds ...
