Flight of the dragons: a global review of migration in Odonata
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insects are the most abundant and ecologically important animal migrants. Yet, we know relatively little about the patterns and processes underlying insect migration. Dragonflies (Anisoptera) and damselflies (Zygoptera) comprise the ancient insect order Odonata, whose ancestors were the first organisms to fly on Earth.

Stochastic Cooperative Games in Insurance and Reinsurance
This paper shows how problems in `non life'-insurance and `non life'-reinsurance can be modelled simultaneously as cooperative games with stochastic payoffs.Pareto optimal allocations of the risks faced by the insurers and the insureds are determined.It ...

A User''s Guide to Solving Dynamic Stochastic Games Using the Homotopy Method [PDF]
This paper provides a step-by-step guide to solving dynamic stochastic games using the homotopy method. The homotopy method facilitates exploring the equilibrium correspondence in a systematic fashion; it is especially useful in games that have multiple ...

Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Asymptotic nash equilibria in discounted stochastic games of resource extraction
Quantitative Methods in Economics, 2010 A class of two person nonzero-sum nonsymmetric stochastic games ofcapital accumulation/resource extraction is considered. It is shown that the Nashequilibrium in the discounted games has a limit when the discount factor tendsto 1. Moreover, this limit is

Evolutionary dynamics in stochastic nonlinear public goods games
Communications PhysicsUnderstanding the evolution of cooperation in multi-player games is of vital significance for natural and social systems. An important challenge is that group interactions often lead to nonlinear synergistic effects. However, previous models mainly focus

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study demonstrates how a profitable, lean, and environmentally responsible e‐waste reverse logistics system can be designed using integrated Operations Research (OR) techniques. Addressing the growing urgency of responsible consumption (UN SDG 12) and the projected rise of the e‐waste sector to USD 137.60 billion by 2029, the research ...
