Lose the plot: cost-effective survey of the Peak Range, central Queensland [PDF]

, 2013
The Peak Range (22˚ 28’ S; 147˚ 53’ E) is an archipelago of rocky peaks set in grassy basalt rolling-plains, east of Clermont in central Queensland. This report describes the flora and vegetation based on surveys of 26 peaks.

Forest Recovery or Shrubland Assembly? Vegetation Dynamics in Abandoned Atlantic Forest Highland Pastures

Biotropica, Volume 58, Issue 3, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Understanding successional trajectories in abandoned lands is critical for predicting forest recovery potential in the Atlantic Forest, a global biodiversity hotspot. Over a decade of field monitoring (2014–2025) in permanent plots in the subtropical highlands of southern Brazil, we analyzed the dynamics of tree‐shrub components in abandoned ...

Geographical patterns and partition of turnover and richness components of beta-diversity in faunas from Tocantins river valley

Brazilian Journal of Biology
There has been a resurging interest in patterns of β-diversity, especially by the mechanisms driving broad-scale, continental and global patterns, and how partitioning β-diversity into richness (or nestedness) and turnover components can be linked with ...

More Than Bias Reduction? How Applicants View Anonymous Application Procedures

International Journal of Selection and Assessment, Volume 34, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Anonymous application procedures (AAPs), which hide applicants' demographic and other identifying information, aim to reduce discrimination during preselection. However, research about applicants' perceptions of such procedures is scarce.

Emergence of nestedness in the public internet peering ecosystem

Applied Network Science
Nestedness is a property of bipartite complex networks that has been shown to characterize the peculiar structure of biological and economical networks.

Emergence of structural and dynamical properties of ecological mutualistic networks

, 2013
Mutualistic networks are formed when the interactions between two classes of species are mutually beneficial. They are important examples of cooperation shaped by evolution.

Isoperimetric inequalities on slabs with applications to cubes and Gaussian slabs

Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, Volume 79, Issue 4, Page 1012-1072, April 2026.
Abstract We study isoperimetric inequalities on “slabs”, namely weighted Riemannian manifolds obtained as the product of the uniform measure on a finite length interval with a codimension‐one base. As our two main applications, we consider the case when the base is the flat torus R2/2Z2$\mathbb {R}^2 / 2 \mathbb {Z}^2$ and the standard Gaussian measure

Moth Communities Are More Diverse in the Understory Than in the Canopy of a Tropical Lowland Rainforest in NW Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We investigate the stratification of five clades of Lepidoptera: Erebidae‐Arctiinae, Geometridae, Hedylidae, Saturniidae, and Sphingidae in a tropical rain forest of the Chocó region in NW Ecuador. Average species richness was higher in the understory, median sample sizes were similar between strata and we found more species in regenerating forests ...

Understanding and characterizing nestedness in mutualistic bipartite networks

, 2008
In this work we present a dynamical model that succesfully describes the organization of mutualistic ecological systems. The main characteristic of these systems is the nested structure of the bipartite adjacency matrix describing their interactions.

Bridging the Cultivation Gap in Plant Microbiomes: A Comparative Study of Aerial Root Mucilage Microbiome Characterization by Conventional Isolation, Prospector High‐Throughput Cultivation, and Molecular Profiling

MicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 2, April 2026.
Integration of high‐throughput microfluidic isolation, Sanger identification, and full‐length 16S rRNA sequencing reveals a more accurate and comprehensive view of mucilage‐associated microbiomes, enabling robust cross‐validation between cultivation and community profiling.
