Ecology, Agents, and the Causes of Selection : A Reply to Shuker

Shuker points to some inconsistencies in my terminology about consequence laws in evolutionary biology, specifically that gene flow and recombination are not as easily classified as one gets the impression of after reading Sober (1984). I agree, and I also emphasize that evolutionary biology should not only focus on consequence laws, but also source laws arising from the ecological selective envir

Promoting responsible practices in international research collaboration in a multipolar landscape

Over the last few years, just as the COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the growing need for open international collaboration, increasing geopolitical tensions and politicization of research are leading to higher barriers for transnational scientific cooperation. These deteriorating conditions for inclusive cooperation may hamper both the general advancement of knowledge and, more pointedly, our ab

Effect of artificial light on activity in frugivorous bats (Pteropodidae)

Artificial lighting at nights (ALAN) affects behaviour in many animals, especially nocturnal species. However, its effect on frugivorous bats remains less explored, especially in the family Pteropodidae. Since they rely predominantly on vision and light-based cues, ALAN at roost sites could have consequences on their behaviour, activity, and the ecosystem services they provide. In a semi-urban sit

3D analysis and grading of calcifications from ex vivo human meniscus

Objective: Meniscal calcifications are associated with the pathogenesis of knee osteoarthritis (OA). We propose a micro-computed tomography (μCT) based 3D analysis of meniscal calcifications ex vivo, including a new grading system. Method: Human medial and lateral menisci were obtained from 10 patients having total knee replacement for medial compartment OA and 10 deceased donors without knee OA (

On the almost-circular symplectic induced Ginibre ensemble

We consider the symplectic-induced Ginibre process, which is a Pfaffian point process on the plane. Let N be the number of points. We focus on the almost-circular regime where most of the points lie in a thin annulus (Formula presented.) of width (Formula presented.) as (Formula presented.). Our main results are the bulk scaling limits of all correlation functions near the real axis, and also away

Extreme solar particle storms and links to solar activity inferred from cosmogenic radionuclides in ice cores

During solar storms, large amounts of solar energetic particles (SEP) are accelerated into the interplanetary medium and sometimes hit Earth. These events, known as SEP events, can have harmful impacts on our modern society by affecting spacecrafts and potentially astronauts in space. The first directly observed solar storm was the Carrington event in 1859 which is linked to disruptions of the tel
