In many animal species, male acoustic signals serve to attract a mate and therefore often play a major role for male mating success. Male body condition is likely to be correlated with male acoustic signal traits, which signal male quality and provide choosy females indirect benefits. Environmental factors such as food quantity or quality can influence male body condition and therefore possibly...

In a previous companion paper, the authors showed that lateral boundary condition (LBC) constraints on small scale error variance growth are sufficient to limit dispersion in limitedarea model (LAM) ensemble simulations. The error growth constraints result from the use of coarsely resolved and temporally interpolated LBCs. The effect is present in any modeling system using “one-way” LBC forcing...

In limited-view computed tomography reconstruction, iterative image reconstruction with sparsity-exploiting methods, such as total variation (TV) minimization, inspired by compressive sensing, potentially claims large reductions in sampling requirements. However, a quantitative notion of this claim is non-trivial because of the ill-defined reduction in sampling achieved by the sparsity-exploiti...
