Increasing temperature and decreasing specific leaf area amplify centipede predation impact on Collembola

Collembola is an abundant group of soil organisms playing a major role on litter decomposition process and nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Habitat structure strongly influences Collembola assemblages as plant litter physical characteristics and quan ...

Input-Constrained Path Following for Autonomous Marine Vehicles with a Global Region of Attraction

Francisco Fernandes Castro Rego

This paper presents a solution to the problem of path following control for autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) subject to input constraints and constant ocean current disturbances. We propose two nonlinear control strategies: the first is obtained by using ...

Covariations in ecological scaling laws fostered by community dynamics

Andrea Rinaldo, Andrea Giometto, Silvia Zaoli, Amos Maritan

Scaling laws in ecology, intended both as functional relationships among ecologically relevant quantities and the probability distributions that characterize their occurrence, have long attracted the interest of empiricists and theoreticians. Empirical evi ...

Bridging Food Webs, Ecosystem Metabolism, and Biogeochemistry Using Ecological Stoichiometry Theory

Amber Joy Ulseth

Although aquatic ecologists and biogeochemists are well aware of the crucial importance of ecosystem functions, i.e., how biota drive biogeochemical processes and vice-versa, linking these fields in conceptual models is still uncommon. Attempts to explain ...

Construction of Resilience: Divergence and Convergence of Theoretical Models. A Conceptual and Empirical Analysis

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer

The concept of resilience has been applied within a wide spectrum of disciplines and has become increasingly relevant for interdisciplinary research. The interdisciplinary use of the concept could be linked to the fact that the conceptualization of resilie ...

Differential Flatness of Quadrotor Dynamics Subject to Rotor Drag for Accurate Tracking of High-Speed Trajectories

Davide Scaramuzza

Abstract: In this letter, we prove that the dynamical model of a quadrotor subject to linear rotor drag effects is differentially flat in its position and heading. We use this property to compute feedforward control terms directly from a reference trajecto ...

Resilience of transitions - Seven theses to frame sustainability transitions from a resilience perspective

Claudia Rebeca Binder Signer, Romano Tobias Wyss, Thorsten Schilling

Within the sustainability discourse, resilience has been taken up more and more as a central boundary object. Resilience in principle has both static and dynamic elements to it, allowing a system to stay in an equilibrium without endangering its long-term ...

Prediction and forecast of Suspended Sediment Concentration (SSC) on the Upper Yangtze basin

Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, José Pedro Gamito de Saldanha Calado Matos

Sediment transport in suspension may represent 90% or more of the global annual flux of sediment. For instance, more than 99% of the sediment supplied to the sea by the Yangtze River is suspended load. Suspended load is an important component for understan ...

Modeling Key Drivers of Cholera Transmission Dynamics Provides New Perspectives for Parasitology

Andrea Rinaldo, Melanie Blokesch, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Marino Gatto

Hydroclimatological and anthropogenic factors are key drivers of waterborne disease transmission. Information on human settlements and host mobility on waterways along which pathogens and hosts disperse, and relevant hydroclimatological processes, can be a ...
