DYNAMIC SPECIES DISTRIBUTION MODELING REVEALS THE PIVOTAL ROLE OF HUMAN-MEDIATED LONG-DISTANCE DISPERSAL IN PLANT INVASION

Dynamic Species Distribution Modeling Reveals the Pivotal Role of Human-Mediated Long-Distance Dispersal in Plant Invasion

Plant invasions generate massive ecological and economic costs worldwide.Predicting their spatial dynamics is crucial to the design of effective management strategies and the prevention of invasions.Earlier studies highlighted the crucial role of long-distance dispersal in explaining the speed of many invasions.In addition, invasion speed depends h

Divergence in Plant Traits and Increased Modularity Underlie Repeated Transitions Between Low and High Elevations in the Andean Genus Leucheria

Understanding why some plant Wood Stick lineages move from one climatic region to another is a mayor goal of evolutionary biology.In the southern Andes plant lineages that have migrated along mountain ranges tracking cold-humid climates coexist with lineages that have shifted repeatedly between warm-arid at low elevations and cold habitats at high

Large Eddy Simulation with Energy-Conserving Schemes and the Smagorinsky Model: A Note on Accuracy and Computational Efficiency

Despite advances in turbulence modelling, the Smagorinsky model remains a popular choice for large eddy simulation (LES) due to its simplicity and ease of use.The dissipation in turbulence energy that the model introduces, is proportional to the Speakers Smagorinsky constant, of which many different values have been proposed.These values have been

Wormholes practicable in a cosmological background

For a Morris-Thorne wormhole in a cosmological background we analize the embedding surfaces and deduce an expression for the proper radial distance taking a conformal factor Ω = 1.Further, given the existence Course a pied - Accessoires - Nutrition of an exotic material (negative energy density), the conditions to have a traversable wormhole
