Characterising rectifiable metric spaces using tangent spaces [PDF]

open access: yesInventiones mathematicae, 2022
AbstractWe characterise rectifiable subsets of a complete metric space X in terms of local approximation, with respect to the Gromov–Hausdorff distance, by an n-dimensional Banach space. In fact, if $$E\subset X$$ E ⊂ X with $${\mathcal {H}

Habitat selection in a fluctuating ground squirrel population: Density‐dependence and fitness consequences

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Investigating individual‐based habitat settlement decisions is a central theme in ecology, yet studies that quantify density‐dependent habitat selection or tie fitness to resource selection decisions remain rare. We quantified habitat selection in golden‐

Interference competition between wolves and coyotes during variable prey abundance

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2021
Interference competition occurs when two species have similar resource requirements and one species is dominant and can suppress or exclude the subordinate species. Wolves (Canis lupus) and coyotes (C. latrans) are sympatric across much of their range in
