Top predators may induce extensive cascading effects on lower trophic levels, for example, through intraguild predation (IGP). The impacts of both mammalian and avian top predators on species of the same class have been extensively studied, but the effects of the latter upon mammalian mesopredators are not yet as well known. We examined the impact of the predation risk imposed by a large avian ...

Although historians of microbiology find an embarrassing wealth of material on towering figures, such as Pasteur, Koch, and Winogradsky, extreme difficulty attends efforts to uncover details on contributions and lives of the "unknown soldiers" of science. The role played by less distinguished persons is as important in its way as later, epic syntheses, but early arrivals at the scene of great v...

Being inspired by phasor analysis in linear circuit theory, and its algebraic counterpart – the AC-(operational)calculus for sinusoids developed by W. Marten and W. Mathis – we define a complex structure on several spaces of real-valued elementary functions. This is used to algebraize inhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations with inhomogenities stemming from these spaces. Thus we de...
