Trait‐based responses of soil nematode communities to land use and climate change

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
By linking nematode traits to soil moisture and soil pore structure, our findings show that the effect of future climate on nematode body traits is land‐use dependent, likely reflecting stronger bottom‐up or top‐down regulation in croplands and grasslands, respectively. This trait‐based approach offers a practical framework for using nematode body size

Single-peakedness and strategy-proofness of generalized median voter schemes [PDF]

open access: yes
We identify, in a continuous multidimensional framework, a maximal domain of preferences compatible with strategy-proofness for a given generalized median voter scheme. It turns out that these domains are a variation of single-peakedness.

A Characterization of Single-Peaked Preferences [PDF]

open access: yes
We identify in this paper two conditions that characterize the domain of single-peaked preferences on the line in the following sense: a preference profile satisfies these two properties if and only if there exists a linear order $L$ over the set of ...

Single Peakedness and Giffen Demand [PDF]

open access: yes
I provide a simple example of a single peaked utility function that generates a Giffen demand. The utility function is smooth, non piecewise defined, strictly concave but not globally increasing.

Peakedness and peakedness ordering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The peakedness of a random variable (RV) X about a point a is defined by Pa(x)=P(|X−a|≤x),x≥0. A RV X is said to be less peaked about a than a RV Y about b, denoted by X≤pkd(a,b)Y, if P(|X−a|≤x)≤P(|Y−b|≤x) for all x≥0, i.e., |X−a| is stochastically ...

Deliberation, single-peakedness, and the possibility of meaningful democracy: evidence from deliberative polls [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Majority cycling and related social choice paradoxes are often thought to threaten the meaningfulness of democracy. But deliberation can prevent majority cycles – not by inducing unanimity, which is unrealistic, but by bringing preferences closer to ...

Single-Peakedness in Weighted Aggregation of Fuzzy Opinions in a Fuzzy Group [PDF]

open access: yes, 1990
In this paper it is considered a formal approach to the problem of aggregating individual opinions in a fuzzy group, when alternatives can be represented in a real hyper-space and each individual defines his/her fuzzy set of non rejectable alternatives. On one hand, weighted aggregation rule for consensus opinion is axiomatically justified.
