LowerMesophoticEcosystems have greater alpha diversity and number of exclusive families, high turnover between LowerME and UpperME with clear differences in community composition. Water eDNA and ARMS eDNA are characterized by pelagic and benthic affinity respectively.

Earlier reproductive phenology of restored grasslands
Abstract Introduction Plants introduced to degraded ecosystems during restoration efforts often face novel environmental conditions. Consequently, plant functional traits can differ between restored and reference sites, even within the same species. Studies on such intraspecific variation mainly focused on vegetative traits, while the timing of life ...

Schauder estimates for parabolic p$p$‐Laplace systems
Abstract We establish the local Hölder regularity of the spatial gradient of bounded weak solutions u:ET→Rk$u\colon E_T\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^k$ to the nonlinear system of parabolic type ∂tu−div(a(x,t)μ2+|Du|2p−22Du)=0inET,$$\begin{equation*} \partial _tu-\operatorname{div}{\Big(a(x,t){\left(\mu ^2+|Du|^2\right)}^\frac{p-2}{2}Du\Big)}=0 \qquad \mbox ...

Harmonic maps to the circle with higher dimensional singular set
Abstract In a closed, oriented ambient manifold (Mn,g)$(M^n,g)$ we consider the problem of finding S1$\mathbb {S}^1$‐valued harmonic maps with prescribed singular set. We show that the boundary of any oriented (n−1)$(n-1)$‐submanifold can be realised as the singular set of an S1$\mathbb {S}^1$‐valued map, which is classically harmonic away from the ...

A General Dynamic Programming Approach to the Optimal Water Storage Management for Irrigation
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a dynamic programming approach targeted to solve a natural resource problem of water storage management for irrigation in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. The problem we address in our formulation, focusing on the control of water storage in tanks, is based on assumptions that are less restrictive than those

Dissipative energy functionals of passive linear time‐varying systems
Abstract The concept of dissipativity plays a crucial role in the analysis of control systems. Dissipative energy functionals, also known as Hamiltonians, storage functions, or Lyapunov functions, depending on the setting, are extremely valuable to analyze and control the behavior of dynamical systems, but in general circumstances they are very ...

Attractors and upper semicontinuity for an extensible beam with nonlocal structural damping
Abstract We analyze the asymptotic behavior of a class of extensible beam models governed by a nonlocal structural damping mechanism of the form φ(El)(−Δ)βut$\varphi (E_l)(-\Delta)^{\beta }u_t$, where β∈λ=(0,1]$\beta \in \lambda =(0,1]$. The coefficient φ$\varphi$ is a degenerate C1$C^{1}$‐function depending on the linear energy El$E_l$ of the system ...

Caratheodory perturbation of a second-order differential inclusion with constraints
We prove the existence of local solutions for the second-order viability problem $$ ddot{x}(t) in f(t,x(t),dot{x}(t))+F(x(t),dot{x}(t)),quad x(t)in K. $$ Here $K$ is a closed subset of $mathbb{R}^{n}$, $F$ is an upper semicontinuous multifunction with ...

Debt Ceilings With Fiscal Intransparency and Imperfect Electoral Accountability
ABSTRACT We study optimal debt ceilings in a political‐agency model with uncertainty about both policymaker type (benevolent or selfish) and economic state (good or bad). Elections generate disciplining and selection effects that differ across pooling, hybrid, and separating equilibria induced by different ceilings.

Nonemptiness of the Alpha‐Core
ABSTRACT We prove nonemptiness of the α $\alpha $‐core for balanced games with nonordered preferences, extending and generalizing in several aspects the results of Scarf (1971), Border (1984), Florenzano (1989), Yannelis (1991b), and Kajii (1992). In particular, we answer an open question in Kajii (1992) regarding the applicability of the nonemptiness ...
