An increasingly scented world

We know that, at least in the short term, a rise in temperature exponentially increases the emission rates of most biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs). It does so by enhancing the enzymatic activities of synthesis, by raising the BVOC vapour pressure, and by decreasing the resistance of the diffusion pathway (Tingey et al., 1991). BVOC emissions are thus expected to increase strongly wi...

Enhancing SARA: a new approach in an increasingly complex world

The research note describes how an enhancement to the SARA (Scan, Analyse, Respond and Assess) problem-solving methodology has been developed by Transport for London for use in dealing with crime and antisocial behaviour, road danger reduction and reliability problems on the transport system in the Capital. The revised methodology highlights the importance of prioritisation, effective allocatio...

An increasingly complex code.

Demography in an increasingly variable world.

Recent advances in stochastic demography provide unique insights into the probable effects of increasing environmental variability on population dynamics, and these insights can be substantially different compared with those from deterministic models. Stochastic variation in structured population models influences estimates of population growth rate, persistence and resilience, which ultimately...
