Hume, the Philosophy of Science and the Scientific Tradition [PDF]

, 2018
Although the main focus of Hume’s career was in the humanities, his work also has an observable role in the historical development of natural sciences after his time.

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Network topology drives population temporal variability in experimental habitat networks

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
Habitat patches connected by dispersal pathways form habitat networks. We explored how network topology affects population outcomes in laboratory experiments using a model species (Daphnia carinata). Central habitat nodes in complex lattice networks exhibited lower temporal variability in population sizes, suggesting they support more stable ...

Basin dependencies of tropical cyclone genesis environment and possible future changes revealed by machine learning methods

iScience
Summary: Tropical cyclone (TC) genesis mechanisms remain debated, complicating predictions of climate change impacts. This study uses principal-component analysis (PCA), confidence ellipses, and correlation circles to analyze TC genesis environments ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.
