An index for measuring functional extension and evenness in trait space

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Most existing functional diversity indices focus on a single facet of functional diversity. Although these indices are useful for quantifying specific aspects of functional diversity, they often present some conceptual or practical limitations in ...

Diversity and Selection of Surface Marine Microbiomes in the Atlantic-Influenced Arctic

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Arctic marine environments are experiencing rapid changes due to the polar amplification of global warming. These changes impact the habitat of the cold-adapted microbial communities, which underpin biogeochemical cycles and marine food webs.

Gauging of Lorentz Group WZW Model by its Null Subgroup [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
We consider the standard vector gauging of Lorentz group $ SO(3,1) $ WZW model by its non-semisimple null Euclidean subgroup in two dimensions $ E(2) $.

Bird species diversity in the Atlantic Forest of Brazil is not explained by the Mid-domain Effect

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2012
The Atlantic Forest is an excellent case study for the elevational diversity of birds, and some inventories along elevational gradients have been carried out in Brazil.

Seasonal shifts in the assembly dynamics of benthic macroinvertebrate and diatom communities in a subtropical river

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2020
Identifying seasonal shifts in community assembly for multiple biological groups is important to help enhance our understanding of their ecological dynamics. However, such knowledge on lotic assemblages is still limited. In this study, we used biological

Detecting Unspecified Structure in Low-Count Images

open access: yes, 2015
Unexpected structure in images of astronomical sources often presents itself upon visual inspection of the image, but such apparent structure may either correspond to true features in the source or be due to noise in the data.

Universally measurable sets in generic extensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
A subset of a topological space is said to be \emph{universally measurable} if it is measured by the completion of each countably additive $\sigma$-finite Borel measure on the space, and \emph{universally null} if it has measure zero for each such ...

Null tests of the standard model using the linear model formalism

open access: yes, 2018
We test both the FLRW geometry and $\Lambda$CDM cosmology in a model independent way by reconstructing the Hubble function $H(z)$, the comoving distance $D(z)$ and the growth of structure $f\sigma_8(z)$ using the most recent data available.

Hamiltonian flows on null curves

open access: yes, 2010
The local motion of a null curve in Minkowski 3-space induces an evolution equation for its Lorentz invariant curvature. Special motions are constructed whose induced evolution equations are the members of the KdV hierarchy.

The architecture of antagonistic networks: Node degree distribution, compartmentalization and nestedness [PDF]

open access: yesComputational Ecology and Software, 2015
Describing complex ecosystems as networks of interacting components has proved fruitful - revealing many distinctive patterns and dynamics of ecological systems.
