Coexisting ant species differ in ability to meet their intrinsic nutritional needs
Coexisting species are often assumed to reduce competition by foraging for foods that differ in nutrient composition, but few studies test whether field nutritional differences correspond to intrinsic differences in macronutrient selectivity. We compared field estimates of worker trophic position (tissue isotopes: δ15N) and worker tissue stoichiometry (

What Does It Mean To Be Good at Physics? Peer Recognition in a High School Physics Classroom
ABSTRACT In the United States, the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) call for science classrooms where students develop a wide range of skills, though students still often hold to narrow views of what it means to be good at science. Science identity provides a lens to examine what students believe being good at science means.

Subducted Seamounts Promote Slow and Fast Slip Throughout the Seismic Cycle
Abstract The role of subducted seamounts on slip behavior is debated: they have been proposed to act as seismic asperities, or to favor aseismic slip and rupture arrest. We use numerical simulations and fracture mechanics to investigate how seamounts affect the seismic cycle.

Abstract Geometric morphometrics (GM) is widely used to study phenotypic variation in ecological and evolutionary research, but the throughput of manual landmark digitization limits how large morphometric datasets can practically become, especially in field studies that would benefit from rapid on‐site feedback.

A Note on Local Polynomial Regression for Time Series in Banach Spaces
ABSTRACT This work extends local polynomial regression to Banach space‐valued time series for estimating smoothly varying means and their derivatives in non‐stationary data. The asymptotic properties of both the standard and bias‐reduced Jackknife estimators are analyzed under mild moment conditions, establishing their convergence rates.
