Since Baker's attempt to characterize the `ideal weed' over 50years ago, ecologists have sought to identify features of species that predict invasiveness. Several of Baker's `ideal weed' traits are well studied, and we now understand that many traits can facilitate different components of the ...
Tristan is the only living person to have both flown solo and sailed singlehanded across the Atlantic. He has explored close to home and walked with and studied the methods of tribal peoples in some of the remotest regions on Earth. By: Tristan Gooley(Author) 328 pages, 16 plates with ...
We simulated over 200 cities worldwide to investigate how the street network affects vehicle routes. We demonstrate that there is a ubiquitous super-linear relationship between time and distance when optimal route are chosen. More precisely, the average
Due to the continuous progress of constructing sustainable environments in China, the role played by the Chinese central government as the main body for promoting green development is worth studying. Because China’s ecological civilization building has
We’re not the only animals that suffer anxiety. From lizards to song sparrows, challenging situations can have long-lasting impacts on species.

S Mathews - 《Molecular Ecology》 被引量: 314发表: 2010年 When genes go to sleep: the population genetic consequences of seed dormancy and monocarpic perenniality. In many annual plant populations, seeds may be dormant for several seasons before they germinate. Here, we investigate the consequence...
Of the microorganisms associated with dental caries,S. mutansis one of the most extensively studied species in this field. Given thatS. mutanswas initially thought to be a major cause of dental caries31, it is not surprising that most prevention strategies target this bacterium specifically29. ...
between fast and deep modes of information processing—depending on the nature of the problem and the involved brain areas. The idea that decision-making speed is traded with accuracy is supported by numerous empirical findings in the fields of economy, ecology, psychology, and neuroscience9,49,...
