Reciprocal Measures for Arms Stabilization

Reciprocal measures of perceptual similarity

This paper reports the results of two experiments aimed at assessing the perceived similarity between a set of English and Catalan vowels from the perspective of native speakers of both languages. Two groups of 27 listeners, a group of native English speakers and a group of native Catalan speakers, used a 9-point scale to rate the degree of similarity between two stimuli. Crucial stimuli consis...

The distribution of Mahler's measures of reciprocal polynomials

We study the distribution of Mahler’s measures of reciprocal polynomials with complex coefficients and bounded even degree. We discover that the distribution function associated to Mahler’s measure restricted to monic reciprocal polynomials is a reciprocal (or anti-reciprocal) Laurent polynomial on [1,∞) and identically zero on [0, 1). Moreover, the coefficients of this Laurent polynomial are r...

Reciprocal selection causes a coevolutionary arms race between crossbills and lodgepole pine.

Few studies have shown both reciprocal selection and reciprocal adaptations for a coevolving system in the wild. The goal of our study was to determine whether the patterns of selection on Rocky Mountain lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta spp. latifolia) and red crossbills (Loxia curvirostra complex) were concordant with earlier published evidence of reciprocal adaptations in lodgepole pine and cro...
