Positive Feedbacks in Seagrass Ecosystems – Evidence from Large-Scale Empirical Data
Positive feedbacks cause a nonlinear response of ecosystems to environmental change and may even cause bistability. Even though the importance of feedback mechanisms has been demonstrated for many types of ecosystems, their identification and quantification is still difficult. Here, we investigated whether positive feedbacks between seagrasses and light conditions are likely in seagrass ecosyst...
متن کاملMnemonic Convergence: From Empirical Data to Large-Scale Dynamics
This study builds on the assumption that large-scale social phenomena emerge out of the interaction between individual cognitive mechanisms and social dynamics. Within this framework, we empirically investigated the propagation of memory effects (retrieval induced forgetting and practice effects) through sequences of social interactions. We found that the influence a public figure has on an ind...
متن کاملEmpirical Distributions of FST from Large-Scale Human Polymorphism Data
Studies of the apportionment of human genetic variation have long established that most human variation is within population groups and that the additional variation between population groups is small but greatest when comparing different continental populations. These studies often used Wright's F(ST) that apportions the standardized variance in allele frequencies within and between population...
متن کاملAn Efficient Data Replication Strategy in Large-Scale Data Grid Environments Based on Availability and Popularity
The data grid technology, which uses the scale of the Internet to solve storage limitation for the huge amount of data, has become one of the hot research topics. Recently, data replication strategies have been widely employed in distributed environment to copy frequently accessed data in suitable sites. The primary purposes are shortening distance of file transmission and achieving files from ...
متن کاملLarge-scale decline in offshore seagrass meadows in Bermuda
Bermuda is an isolated 5560 ha chain of limestone islands on a 150 000 ha seamount located near 32° N, 64° W. Meadows of tropical and subtropical seagrasses, dominated by Thalassia testudinum and Syringodium filiforme, are found from inshore bays out to the inner edge of the rim reef that encircles the platform. Fine-scale computerized mapping and subsequent broad-scaled field assessment of sea...
