Ecological processes in arid lands are often described by the pulse-reserve paradigm, in which rain events drive biological activity until moisture is depleted, leaving a reserve. This paradigm is frequently applied to processes stimulated by one or a fewprecipitation eventswithin a growing season.Here we expand the original framework in time and space and include other pulses that interact wit...

The dynamic public finance literature underwent significant changes over the past decade. This research agenda has now reached a stage at which it is able to analyze the design of social insurance programs and optimal taxation in rich environments that can be closely matched to microeconomic data. We provide an overview of the recent advances in this literature, discuss the key trade-offs, and ...

Community-based conservation (CBC) in general, and ecotourism in particular, arose to correct human injustices and social impacts wrought by a p rio r model o f protected area management that subordinated resident peoples' welfare and rights, and local econom ic development, to envirorunental preservation (West and Brechin 1991). Proponents o f community-based ecotourism defend i t as a loca ll...

The basic geometry of the Solar System—the shapes, spacings, and orientations of the planetary orbits—has long been a subject of fascination as well as inspiration for planet-formation theories. For exoplanetary systems, those same properties have only recently come into focus. Here we review our current knowledge of the occurrence of planets around other stars, their orbital distances and ecce...

Colloidal particles aremicroscopic solid particles suspended in a fluid. Colloids are small enough that thermal energy drives their dynamics and ensures equilibrationwith the suspending fluid; they are also large enough that their positions andmotions can bemeasured precisely using optical methods, such as light scattering and laser-scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. Colloidal suspensio...
