Evidence of a component Allee effect driven by predispersal seed predation in a plant ( Pedicularis rex , Orobanchaceae)

Evidence of a component Allee effect driven by predispersal seed predation in a plant (Pedicularis rex, Orobanchaceae).

A small or sparse population may suffer a reduction in fitness owing to Allee effects. Here, we explored effects of plant density on pollination, reproduction and predation in the alpine herb Pedicularis rex over two years. We did not detect a significant difference in the pollination rate or fecundity (fruit set and the initial seed set) before predation between sparse and dense patches in eit...

Predispersal Seed Predation, Postdispersal Seed Predation and Competition in the Recruitment of Seedlings of a Native Thistle in Sandhills Prairie

Lectotypification of Linnaean names in Pedicularis (Orobanchaceae)

Ten Linnaean names of Pedicularis (Orobanchaceae) are lectotypified: P. comosa, P. flammea, P. hirsuta, P. incarnata, P. lapponica, P. resupinata, P. rostrata, P. tristis, P. tuberosa and P. verticillata. Lectotypes are designated from the Linnaean herbarium at LINN. The type choices made here maintain the present usage of the corresponding Linnaean names for ten Pedicularis species.

Host-Parasitoid Systems with Predation-Driven Allee effects in Host

4 Allee effects and parasitism are common biological phenomena observed in nature, which are believed to have significant impacts in ecological conservation programs. In this article, we investigate the population dynamics of host-parasitoid systems with Allee effects induced by predation satiation in host to study the effects of Allee effects and parasitism as well as the timing of parasite’s ...

بررسی جامعه شناسی منطق بر اساس کتاب "weaving self-evidence a sociology of logic" by "claude rosental"

این رساله از چهار فصل تشکیل شده است.نویسنده کتاب در فصل اول در تلاش است تا به جهان دور از دسترس منطق دانان دسترسی پیدا کند در این راستا در ابتدا به سابقه و پیشینه جامعه شناسی ریاضیات و منطق می پردازد. او رویکرد های جامعه شناختی و تجربی به منطق را مورد مداقه قرار می دهد و از این میان شیوه روش قوم شناختی رابر می گزیند. رزنتال اعتقاد دارد نگاه صلب و تغییر ناپذیر به منطق ناصواب است. منطق همانند هر ...
