Maize open-pollinated populations physiological improvement: validating tools for drought response participatory selection [PDF]

, 2019
Participatory selection—exploiting specific adaptation traits to target environments—helps to guarantees yield stability in a changing climate, in particular under low-input or organic production.

Numerical modelling of erosion and sedimentation around offshore pipelines [PDF]

, 1990
In this paper a numerical model is presented for the description of the erosion and sedimentation near pipelines on the sea bottom. The model is based on the Navier-Stokes equations and the equation of motion and continuity of sediment.\ud \ud The ...

A New Genus of Andean Katydid with Unusual Pronotal Structure for Enhancing Resonances

Biology
Katydids employ acoustic signals to communicate with others of their species and have evolved to generate sounds by coupling the anatomical structures of their forewings.

Advances in Hyperspectral Image Classification: Earth monitoring with statistical learning methods [PDF]

, 2013
Hyperspectral images show similar statistical properties to natural grayscale or color photographic images. However, the classification of hyperspectral images is more challenging because of the very high dimensionality of the pixels and the small number

Convergent evolution of specialized generalists: Implications for phylogenetic and functional diversity of carabid feeding groups

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Closely related species are often assumed to be functionally similar. Phylogenetic information is thus widely used to infer functional diversity and assembly of communities.

Ultra-endurance athletic performance suggests that energetics drive human morphological thermal adaptation

Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2019
Abstract Both extinct and extant hominin populations display morphological features consistent with Bergmann's and Allen's Rules. However, the functional implications of the morphologies described by these ecological laws are poorly understood.
