When range expansion rate is faster in marginal habitats
Knowledge about the potential spatial dynamics of species is important. Already in 1922, the American ornithologist Joseph Grinnell (Grinnell 1922) noted that in order to understand the population consequences of dispersal, its role in the stochastic nature of rare longdistance movements and the interplay between innate and environmental factors in triggering dispersal, have to be known. Furthe...
متن کاملWhen slower is faster
The slower is faster (SIF) effect occurs when a system performs worse as its components try to do better. Thus, a moderate individual efficiency actually leads to a better systemic performance. The SIF effect takes place in a variety of phenomena. We review studies and examples of the SIF effect in pedestrian dynamics, vehicle traffic, traffic light control, logistics, public transport, social ...
متن کاملAdaptation to Marginal Habitats
■ Abstract The ability to adapt to marginal habitats, in which survival and reproduction are initially poor, plays a crucial role in the evolution of ecological niches and species ranges. Adaptation to marginal habitats may be limited by genetic, developmental, and functional constraints, but also by consequences of demographic characteristics of marginal populations. Marginal populations are o...
متن کاملEvaluating range-expansion models for calculating nonnative species' expansion rate
Species range shifts associated with environmental change or biological invasions are increasingly important study areas. However, quantifying range expansion rates may be heavily influenced by methodology and/or sampling bias. We compared expansion rate estimates of Roesel's bush-cricket (Metrioptera roeselii, Hagenbach 1822), a nonnative species currently expanding its range in south-central ...
متن کاملHeterogeneous Multicores: When Slower is Faster
It is well-known that breaking up the OS in many small components is attractive from a dependability point of view. If one of the components crashes or needs an update, we can replace it on the fly without taking down the system. The question is how to achieve this without sacrificing performance and without wasting resources unnecessarily. In this paper, we show that heterogeneous multicore ar...
