Despite the focused attention to Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks (MANETs) in the past years, models of interference on the abstraction level of graphs are poorly studied. It is often argued that assuring low degree in topologies is sufficient to minimize interference. In this work, several models of interference are defined. A classification of models is developed and relations among different models ar...

There are a number of ecogeographical "rules" that describe patterns of geographical variation among organisms. The island rule predicts that populations of larger mammals on islands evolve smaller mean body size than their mainland counterparts, whereas smaller-bodied mammals evolve larger size. Bergmann's rule predicts that populations of a species in colder climates (generally at higher lati...

Myopia in the lid-sutured tree shrew (Tupoia g/is) Many mammals reared with visual deprivation display abnormally poor visual behavior while using their deprived eyes1-4,9,1°. These results typically have been attributed to defective development of the central visual pathways during the deprivation 6 s,11,13. However. it is important to consider non-neural (e.g., optical) sources which might co...

A diverse assemblage of reptiles, birds and mammals, ranging from the smallest to size Brown bear, prey on Edible Dormouse. Dormice are particularly exposed predation while actively searching for food in tree canopy. much narrower spectrum species can access dormice during their periods inactivity, typically spent underground burrows, caves shafts. Entrances caverns frequently so narrow that th...
