Theorizing affective chronopolitics of AI in higher education: A multi‐level analytical framework

British Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract This conceptual paper extends existing theorization of affective chronopolitics to examine how AI technologies become implicated in the governance of educational subjects, institutions and imagined futures in higher education. In particular, we argue that AI‐mediated temporalities may involve different manifestations such as immediacy ...

Trait compensation in marine gastropods: shell shape, avoidance behavior, and susceptibility to predation [PDF]

, 2004
Many organisms have evolved morphological and behavioral traits that reduce their susceptibility to predation. However, few studies have explicitly investigated the relationships between defensive traits and susceptibility. Here we demonstrate a negative

Hot and cold deserts as eco‐evolutionary arenas for understanding plant resistance to multiple abiotic stressors

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT During their long evolutionary history, land plants have evolved a range of adaptations to different abiotic stressors. These help explain present‐day diversity and distribution patterns, as well as the potential resilience of natural and agricultural systems to a changing climate. Most previous research has focused on adaptation to individual

Parental Investment Decisions in Response to Ambient Nest-Predation Risk Versus Actual Predation on the Prior Nest [PDF]

, 2010
Theory predicts that parents should invest less in dependent offspring with lower reproductive value, such as those with a high risk of predation.

Knowledge gaps and research directions in migration ecology for advancing the conservation of migratory songbirds

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding migration ecology is essential for effective conservation of migratory species. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the ecology of migrating species, it is necessary to study how species react to the complex interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic conditions when optimizing their migratory journey in terms of survival ...

Spatial‐environmental predictors of crop raiding and livestock predation in the communal area around Doma Safari Area of Zimbabwe

Ecological Solutions and Evidence
Mapping hotspots of negative human–wildlife interactions and understanding environmental drivers of crop raiding and livestock predation risk provide a foundation to work towards coexistence between people and wildlife. In this study, the binomial linear

Predation risk and moonlight avoidance in nocturnal seabirds

Journal of Avian Biology, 2000
Unlike most seabird families, the vast majority of small petrel species are nocturnal on their breeding grounds. Further, they reduce markedly their activity when the light level increases. Moonlight avoidance might be a consequence of reduction in foraging profitability, as bioluminescent prey do not come to the sea surface on ...

Mortality of Black-tailed Godwit Limosa limosa and Northern Lapwing Vanellus vanellus chicks in wet grasslands: influence of predation and agriculture [PDF]

, 2009
Grassland-breeding shorebirds show widespread declines due to a reduction in breeding productivity following agricultural intensification. However, there is also concern that increasing predation causes further declines or precludes population recovery ...

Food‐solicitation displays in nestling birds: still begging for answers

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Nestling begging is a key model for understanding animal communication and parent–offspring conflict. Dynamic begging displays are often interpreted as costly, honest signals of need, with honesty maintained by viability costs, as proposed in Godfray's influential signalling model.

Impacts across levels: Resource biodiversity is affected by predation and competition pressure on the forager level

Ecosphere
Foraging animals create nonrandom patterns of diversity and abundance within resource communities. Perceiving predation pressure and intraspecific competition for food resources, foragers can alter space use patterns, foraging intensity, and preference ...
