Herbivore metabolism and stoichiometry each constrain herbivory at different organizational scales across ecosystems.
Plant-herbivore interactions mediate the trophic structure of ecosystems. We use a comprehensive data set extracted from the literature to test the relative explanatory power of two contrasting bodies of ecological theory, the metabolic theory of ecology (MTE) and ecological stoichiometry (ES), for per-capita and population-level rates of herbivory across ecosystems. We found that ambient tempe...
متن کاملModeling Direct & Indirect Effects of Cultural Diversity
Cultural diversity can have both positive and negative effects on the performance of multinational teams. Positive effects can stem from the wide variety of experiences and methods that a culturally diverse team can draw on to plan and to develop innovative or efficient solutions to a complex problem. However, cultural diversity can also lead to miscommunications and misunderstandings during ta...
متن کاملDirect and indirect methods for trajectory optimization
This paper gives a brief list of commonly used direct and indirect efficient methods for the numerical solution of optimal control problems. To improve the low accuracy of the direct methods and to increase the convergence areas of the indirect methods we suggest a hybrid approach. For this a special direct collocation method is presented. In a hybrid approach this direct method can be used in ...
متن کاملDirect and Indirect Discrimination Prevention Methods
Along with privacy, discrimination is a very important issue when considering the legal and ethical aspects of data mining. It is more than obvious that most people do not want to be discriminated because of their gender, religion, nationality, age and so on, especially when those attributes are used for making decisions about them like giving them a job, loan, insurance, etc. Discovering such ...
متن کاملMethods for analyzing plant structure at different scales
In the framework of the modelling of plant structure and development, the main focus has been on the design of functional-structural models used in simulation experiments while far less effort has comparatively been devoted to develop dedicated analysis methods. Recent advances in biostatistics and more generally in biological data analysis are characterized by the development of dedicated meth...
