BACKGROUND AND AIMS Studies of local floral adaptation in response to geographically divergent pollinators are essential for understanding floral evolution. This study investigated local pollinator adaptation and variation in floral traits in the rewarding orchid Gymnadenia odoratissima, which spans a large altitudinal gradient and thus may depend on different pollinator guilds along this gradi...

In this paper using the critical point theory of Chang [4] for locally Lipschitz functionals we prove an existence theorem for noncoercive Neumann problems with discontinuous nonlinearities. We use the mountain-pass theorem to obtain a nontrivial solution.

We survey old and new regularity theory for the Monge-Ampère equation, show its connection to optimal transportation, and describe the regularity properties of a general class of Monge-Ampère type equations arising in that context.

This paper aims to show the existence of nontrivial solutions for discrete elliptic boundary value problems by using the “Mountain Pass Theorem”. Some conditions are obtained for discrete elliptic boundary value problems to have at least two nontrivial solutions. The results obtained improve the consequences of the known literature [Guang Zhang, Existence of nontrivial solutions for discrete el...

In this paper we study sufficient local conditions for the existence of non-trivial solution to a critical equation for the p(x)−Laplacian where the critical term is placed as a source through the boundary of the domain. The proof relies on a suitable generalization of the concentration–compactness principle for the trace embedding for variable exponent Sobolev spaces and the classical mountain...

Mountain waves could be modified as the boundary layer varies between stable and convective. However case studies show mountain waves day and night, and above e.g. convective rolls with precipitation lines over mountains. VHF radar measurements of vertical wind (1990–2006) confirm a seasonal variation of mountain-wave amplitude, yet there is little diurnal variation of amplitude. Mountain-wave ...

The Mountain Chickadee (Poecile gambeli) and the Juniper Titmouse (Baeolophus ridgwayi) are closely related, ecologically similar passerines sympatric in portions of their range. However, Mountain Chickadees prefer higher altitude, cooler habitats than Juniper Titmice. We measured oxygen consumption, evaporative water loss, body temperature, and thermal conductance on seasonally acclimatized in...

Temperatures acquired by the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere (CRISTA) during shuttle mission STS-66 have provided measurements of stratospheric mountain waves from space. Large-amplitude, long-wavelength mountain waves at heights of 15 to 30 kilometers above the southern Andes Mountains were observed and characterized, with vigorous wave breaking inferred abov...
