Representativeness of the Natura 2000 network for preserving plant biodiversity in the European Union

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Natura 2000 (N2K) network of protected areas is one of the main tools for area‐based conservation in the European Union (EU), yet its role in preserving plant biodiversity requires better understanding. We examined data kept in the European Vegetation Archive from over 1.2 million vegetation plots and obtained over 14.2 million plant ...

Effectiveness of territorial protection categories in conserving an endemic island bird during population fluctuation

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Static boundaries of protected areas failed to capture the Canary Islands stonechat's shifting distribution patterns. Abstract Protected areas represent cornerstones of biodiversity conservation on oceanic islands, yet their effectiveness for endemic species remains poorly evaluated. We assessed how various territorial protection categories conserve an

₃F₄ Hypergeometric Functions as a Sum of a Product of ₁F₂ Functions

Mathematics
This paper shows that certain F43 hypergeometric functions can be expanded in sums of pair products of F21 functions. In special cases, the F43 hypergeometric functions reduce to F32 functions.

Catch Me If You Can: The Dynamic Nature of Bias in Machine Learning Applications

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bias in machine learning (ML) applications represents systematic differences between expected and actual values of the predicted outputs, such that certain individuals or groups are systematically and disproportionately (dis)advantaged. This paper investigates the dynamic nature of bias in ML applications.

Gravitational wave propagation in a geometric condensate in Starobinsky cosmology

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
In this paper we propose a new paradigm for cosmology: a time dependent scalar condensate background originated from the quadratic $$(R + \alpha R^2)$$ ( R + α R 2 ) Starobinsky model, where R is the Ricci scalar and $$\alpha $$ α the coupling constant ...
