For a given k (k ≥ dL, where dL is the s-t link distance), one can compute a path in a simple polygon P whose length is guaranteed to be within a factor (1 + ε) of the length of a shortest k-link path, for any tolerance ε > 0. The algorithm runs in time O(n3k3 log...
are corals that were originally thought to be subtropical members of different, more cosmopolitan species. In Japan, the same pattern has been observed in theAcropora hyacinthusandGoniopora lobataspecies complexes (Nakabayashi et al.2019; Yasuda et al.2021; Fifer et al.2022). Observations of morpho...
Here, we define the amplitude of a population’s traveling wave solution as the (steady) peak value of the population’s density during its range expansion regime. In the results presented in Fig.4b, the traveling wave amplitudes are approximately calculated as the density of the population at ...
[37-40]. Additionally, because little was known about the biology of this non-native species, researchers have tested the tolerance of wild- caught P. m. bivittatus to cold winter temperatures out- side of Florida, where none of the snakes survived [18] and to estuarine and marine sal...
Broad oceanity tolerance certainly applies to Hipparchia semele, distributed from Eastern Europe to Atlantic coastal dunes [78], but also to Hyponephele lycaon and Pyrgus armoricanus, whose ranges follow maritime climates far north to southern Fennoscandia [35, 66]. The species newly gained ...
correlation coefficient for the admitted applicants. McManus deplores the widespread tolerance for this fallacy and the consequential misinterpretation of findings: “Even in prestigious journals a naïve interpretation can be made that selection measures, such as A-level grades, are actually of little...
By demonstrating the trade-offs between performance and tolerance (Valladares et al., 2014; Riddell et al., 2019), Bergmann (1848) postulated that endotherms tend to be larger in colder climates compared with warmer habitats, while Allen's rule predicts that the size of appendages of animals ...
1.1. The goal of niche modelling There is also a positive case for presence-only modelling. Central to the idea of the niche is the ecological concept of tolerance [10,20]. We start with the joint distribution of envi- ronments in nature p(z), z [ Rx (see tab...
Rootstock-scion combinations allow the improvement of tolerance to different biotic and abiotic stresses. However, little is known regarding the mechanisms that allow the rootstock to improve scion cold tolerance. Numerous rootstock hybrids using trifoliate orange as a parent were produced to promote cold...
