The Indonesian island of Sulawesi harbors a highly endemic and diverse fauna sparking fascination since long before Wallace's contemplation of biogeographical patterns in the region. Allopatric diversification driven by geological or climatic processes has been identified as the main mechanism shaping present faunal distribution on the island. There is both consensus and conflict among range pa...

Paleoclimatic time series are often unevenly spaced in time, making it difficult to obtain an accurate estimate of their red-noise spectrum. A Fortran 90 program (REDFIT) is presented that overcomes this problem by fitting a first-order autoregressive (AR1) process, being characteristic for many climatic processes, directly to unevenly spaced time series. Hence, interpolation in the time domain...

To capture a multidimensional consistency feature of integrable systems in terms geometry, we give condition called geodesic compatibility implying the existence integrals involution flow. The is constructed from concrete example namely Calogero's goldfish system through Poisson structure and variational principle. geometrical view gives compatible parallel transports between two different Hami...
