Hydraulic integration and shrub growth form linked across continental aridity gradients.
Both engineered hydraulic systems and plant hydraulic systems are protected against failure by resistance, reparability, and redundancy. A basic rule of reliability engineering is that the level of independent redundancy should increase with increasing risk of fatal system failure. Here we show that hydraulic systems of plants function as predicted by this engineering rule. Hydraulic systems of...
متن کاملAnnual plant–shrub interactions along an aridity gradient
Annual plants in semi-arid and arid areas are often closely associated with shrubs. The degree of association largely depends on the balance of negative and positive effects between these contrasting plant life-forms, ranging from interference to facilitation. Since positive interactions are predicted to become less important with increasing rainfall, the interaction balance is expected to shif...
متن کاملParametric integration of visual form across saccades
Through saccadic eye movements, the retinal projection of an extrafoveally glimpsed object can be brought into foveal vision quickly. We investigated what influence visual detail collected before the saccade exerts on the postsaccadic percept. Participants were instructed to saccade towards a peripheral stimulus, and to indicate on a continuum of ellipses with varying aspect ratios which exact ...

متن کاملEnergy market integration and equitable growth across countries
Energy Market Integration (EMI) has been a goal for many regions, including the European Union and East Asia, for quite a long time. How it could play a role in facilitating equitable economic growth among a group of countries remains an empirical question that this paper will attempt to answer. The paper uses economic convergence analysis (including both the r-convergence and b-convergence app...
