Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Sexual cannibalism (SC), where one mating partner consumes the other in the context of mating, is especially prevalent among spiders. However, the evolution of SC in spiders is still not fully understood. We review key hypotheses for SC and explore how female‐initiated SC has driven the evolution of various male counter‐adaptations to mitigate its ...

Asia-Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology, EarlyView.While historically the ‘gold standard,’ the role of large‐scale RCTs is being increasingly challenged in the contemporary oncology research era. External controls represent an alternate method for generating evidence, though the perspectives of key stakeholders regarding their role in oncology are not well known.

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.Abstract Existing literature posits that attitudes toward immigration are shaped by the impact of migrants on native workers' wages and employment, as well as by various other material, cultural, and social concerns. However, empirically disentangling these influences can be challenging.

Morse Theory for Continuous Functionals
Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 1995 In an earlier paper, the author, \textit{M. Degiovanni} and \textit{M. Marzocchi} [Topol. Methods Nonlinear Anal. 1, No. 1, 151-171 (1993; Zbl 0789.58021)] developed some Lyusternik-Schnirelmann theory for (lower semi-) continuous functions \(X \to \mathbb{R} \cup \{\infty\}\) where \(X\) is a complete metric space.

Morse theory of Bestvina-Brady type for posets and matchings
, 2022 We introduce a Morse theory for posets of Bestvina-Brady type combining matchings and height functions. This theory generalizes Forman's discrete Morse theory for regular CW-complexes and extends previous results on Morse theory for $h$-regular posets to

Multiple solutions to fractional equations without the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2017 In this article we study a class of fractional Laplace equations which do not satisfy the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition (AR-condition). We establish the existence of three nontrivial solutions and of multiple sign changing solutions by using Morse ...

Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.
