Quantum ultra-walks: Walks on a line with hierarchical spatial heterogeneity

open access: yesPhysical Review Research, 2020
We discuss the model of a one-dimensional, discrete-time walk on a line with spatial heterogeneity in the form of a variable set of ultrametric barriers.

Nested Hoare Triples and Frame Rules for Higher-order Store [PDF]

open access: yesLogical Methods in Computer Science, 2011
Separation logic is a Hoare-style logic for reasoning about programs with heap-allocated mutable data structures. As a step toward extending separation logic to high-level languages with ML-style general (higher-order) storage, we investigate the ...

Cryptic diversity and recent diversification in the Pyrrhulina australis species complex (Characiformes, Lebiasinidae) revealed by mitochondrial DNA

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Pyrrhulina australis Eigenmann & Kennedy, 1903, is widely distributed across the main hydrographic basins of South America. The taxonomic integrity of this species is nevertheless challenged by the lack of clear diagnostic characters, its marked geographic variation and the morphological overlap with its congeners. In this context, the present

Results on the Existence and Convergence of Best Proximity Points

open access: yesFixed Point Theory and Applications, 2010
We first consider a cyclic φ-contraction map on a reflexive Banach space X and provide a positive answer to a question raised by Al-Thagafi and Shahzad on the existence of best proximity points for cyclic φ-contraction maps in reflexive ...

Multi-scale clustering by building a robust and self correcting ultrametric topology on data points. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
The advent of high-throughput technologies and the concurrent advances in information sciences have led to an explosion in size and complexity of the data sets collected in biological sciences.

Frozen and Scorched: Genomic Signatures of Adaptive Divergence and Hibernation in the Living Fossil Dromiciops

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 8, August 2026.
We evaluated adaptation to torpor and hibernation in the genus Dromiciops by comparing it with both torpid and non‐torpid marsupials, and investigated divergent selection signals between its two species. For the ancestral node, we identified positive selection in the genes PFKFB2, LAMP3, OTX1, and RAPSN, alongside an enrichment of pathways potentially ...

Phylogenomic analysis of Madagascar's baobabs reveals admixed populations and supports resurrection of a previously described species

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Baobab trees (Adansonia) are iconic members of Madagascar's biota that serve as emblems for the island's unique biodiversity. Despite this recognition, many questions remain regarding evolutionary relationships and species limits within the genus.

Reconciling morphological and molecular approaches: The integrative taxonomy of Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) in the Malagasy region

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Leucobryum (Leucobryaceae) is a genus of moss (Bryophyta) that has been poorly investigated in Africa, particularly in the western Indian Ocean region. This study integrates morphological and molecular data to revise the taxonomy of the genus in this area.

Hyperbolic Metric Spaces and Stochastic Embeddings

open access: yesForum of Mathematics, Sigma
Stochastic embeddings of finite metric spaces into graph-theoretic trees have proven to be a vital tool for constructing approximation algorithms in theoretical computer science.

Museomic phylogenomics of Orthosiinae (Apocynaceae) integrating targeted sequencing and morphology

open access: yesTAXON, Volume 75, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Museum collections offer valuable resources for phylogenetic research, especially in taxonomically challenging groups. Here, we present a phylogenetic study of the South American Apocynaceae subtribe Orthosiinae, based on sequencing 835 nuclear genes and chloroplast genomes from ~120 species using a family‐specific probe set and multiple ...
