متن کاملSignificant competitive dominance in mid-latitude European plant communities
Understanding the main determinants of species coexistence across space and time is a central question in ecology. However, ecologists still know little about the scales and conditions at which biotic interactions matter and their interplay with the environment to structure species assemblages. Here we develop ecological theory to analyze plant distribution and trait data across Europe and find...

متن کاملStrongly Connected Components can Predict Protein Structure
Finding the three-dimensional structure of proteins is one of the fundamental problems in molecular biology today. The improvements in throughput of classical methods for determining the structure | e.g., using x-ray di raction analysis or NMR | could not keep up with the ever-increasing speed with which proteins are sequenced. This resulted in a desire for methods for structure prediction sole...
متن کاملSpecies evenness and productivity in experimental plant communities
In nature, plant biomass is not evenly distributed across species, and naturally uncommon species may differ from common species in the probability of loss from the community. Understanding relationships between evenness and productivity is therefore critical to understanding changes in ecosystem functioning as species are lost from communities. We examined data from a large multi-site grasslan...
