Island floras are not necessarily more species poor than continental ones
Oceanic islands typically exhibit a lower number of species per unit area than continents owing to their geographical isolation (MacArthur & Wilson, 1967). This relationship demonstrates a remarkable consistency across spatial and taxonomic scales (MacArthur & Wilson, 1967) and has significant evolutionary consequences because island organisms are expected to respond to the empty niche space th...
متن کاملAre Random Trading Strategies More Successful than Technical Ones?
In this paper we explore the specific role of randomness in financial markets, inspired by the beneficial role of noise in many physical systems and in previous applications to complex socio-economic systems. After a short introduction, we study the performance of some of the most used trading strategies in predicting the dynamics of financial markets for different international stock exchange ...
متن کاملIntentional inferences are not more likely than unintentional ones: some evidence against the intentionality bias hypothesis.
We conducted a study to test the hypothesis that inferences about intentionality are biased toward an intentional interpretation. Contrary to previous research, participants were no more likely to judge ambiguous actions as intentional in a speeded compared to an unspeeded condition. Further, participants were faster to respond and more consistent in responding to unintentional rather than inte...
متن کاملNot Necessarily More Switches More Routability
It has been observed experimentally that the mapping of global to detailed routing in conventional FPGA routing architecture (2D array) yields unpredictable results. In [8,10,13], a different class of FPGA structures called Greedy Routing Architectures (GRAs), where a locally optimal switch box routing can be extended to an optimal entire chip routing, were investigated. It was shown that GRAs ...
متن کاملHabitat filtering not dispersal limitation shapes oceanic island floras: species assembly of the Galápagos archipelago.
Remote locations, such as oceanic islands, typically harbour relatively few species, some of which go on to generate endemic radiations. Species colonising these locations tend to be a non-random subset from source communities, which is thought to reflect dispersal limitation. However, non-random colonisation could also result from habitat filtering, whereby only a few continental species can b...
