Hot Spots, Cold Spots, and the Geographic Mosaic Theory of Coevolution.
Species interactions commonly coevolve as complex geographic mosaics of populations shaped by differences in local selection and gene flow. We use a haploid matching-alleles model for coevolution to evaluate how a pair of species coevolves when fitness interactions are reciprocal in some locations ("hot spots") but not in others ("cold spots"). Our analyses consider mutualistic and antagonistic...
متن کاملThe hot and cold spots in five-year WMAP data
We present an extensive frequentist analysis of the one-point statistics (number, mean, variance, skewness and kurtosis) and two-point correlation functions determined for the local extrema of the cosmic microwave background temperature field observed in five-years of Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data. Application of a hypothesis test on the one-point statistics indicates a low-v...
متن کاملThe Hot and Cold Spots in the Wmap Data Are Not Hot and Cold Enough
This paper presents a frequentist analysis of the hot and cold spots of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) data collected by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). We compare the WMAP temperature statistics of extrema (number of extrema, mean excursion, variance, skewness and kurtosis of the excursion) to Monte-Carlo simulations. We find that, on average, the local maxima (high tem...
متن کاملHunger Hot Spots
September 20 07 During the 30 minutes it will take you to read this article, 360 preschool children will die of hunger and malnutrition. Twelve a minute, around the clock; more than six million a year. But that is only the tip of the proverbial and ugly iceberg. One in four preschoolers in developing countries suffers from hunger and nutritional deficiencies. These children do not grow to their...
متن کاملIdentifying Malaria Hot Spots
A century ago, malaria was prevalent across much of the inhabited world. With improvements in housing, environmental management, access to antimalarial drugs (quinine, followed by chloroquine), and use of the insecticide DDT, malaria was driven from Europe, North America, and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Building on these early successes, the World Health Organization launched the f...
