Summary Species tend to peak in abundance at different times after fires. Over time, species richness (?) and landscape heterogeneity are prone increase lead greater between-site diversity (?). However, post-fire salvage logging can reduce ?-diversity, both directly through its influence on succession. The as-yet understudied response of land snails long-term habitat modification wildfires fore...

The current global warming crisis and the fast pace of biodiversity losses relative to its appraisal require innovative rapid operational approaches assessment like never before. Plants are central most assessments, as they predominant ubiquitous (Kier et al., 2005), well valuable indicators associated diversity (Brunbjerg 2018), surrounding abiotic features (Terwayet Bayouli 2021) human impact...

Abstract Stabilizing agricultural production is fundamental to food security. At the national level, increasing effective diversity of cultivated crops has been found increase temporal stability, i.e., year-to-year stability total caloric all combined. Here, we specifically investigated these effects at regional level for European Union and tested effect crop in relation inputs, soil properties...

In central auditory pathways, neurons exhibit a great diversity of temporal discharge patterns, which may contribute to the parallel processing of auditory signals. How such response diversity emerges in the central auditory circuits remains unclear. Here, we investigated whether synaptic mechanisms can contribute to the generation of the temporal response diversity at the first stage along the...

Genotypic diversity within host-plant populations has been linked to the diversity of associated arthropod communities, but the temporal dynamics of this relationship, along with the underlying mechanisms, are not well understood. In this study, we employed a common garden experiment that manipulated the number of genotypes within patches of Solidago altissima, tall goldenrod, to contain 1, 3, ...

JOINT SPATIAL-TEMPORAL SPECTRUM SENSING AND COOPERATIVE RELAYING FOR COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKS Tuan T. Do, PhD George Mason University, Spring, 2011 Dissertation Director: Dr. Brian L. Mark The number of wireless systems and services has grown tremendously over the last two decades. As a result, the availability of wireless spectrum has become extremely limited. Cognitive radio is a new techniqu...
