An ability to understand and predict invasions is elemental for controlling the detrimental effects of introduced organisms on native biota. In eastern North America, European brown trout generally dominates over, and eventually replaces, the native brook trout. We show here that in northern Europe the pattern of replacement between these two species is reversed: when transferred to North Europ...

We present Brook, a new framework for distributed machine learning problems. Like some previous frameworks, Brook adopts the parameter server paradigm that simplifies the task of distributed programming. Unlike these frameworks, we build a novel system component called parameter agent that masks the communication details between workers and servers by mapping remote servers to local in-memory f...

Size-selective mortality caused by fishing can impose strong selection on harvested fish populations, causing evolution in important life-history traits. Understanding and predicting harvest-induced evolutionary change can help maintain sustainable fisheries. We investigate the evolutionary sustainability of alternative management regimes for lacustrine brook charr (Salvelinus fontinalis) fishe...

This paper addresses the problem of safely navigating a mobile robot with limited sensing capability and limited information about stationary and moving obstacles. We consider two sensing limitations: blind spots between sensors and limited sensing range. We study three notions of safety: (1) static safety, which ensures collision-freedom with respect to stationary obstacles, (2) passive safety...

—Outlet barriers in stocked lakes of the Adirondack Mountains were used to test the hypothesis that preventing fall emigration by adult brook trout Salvelinus fontinalis would increase trap-net and angling catch rates as well as the number of large trophy fish. Outlet barriers were maintained during the fall spawning season for 6 years on one lake and 10 years on another lake. We compared preba...
