Character Displacement Is a Pattern: So, What Causes It?
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2017-04-01)Character displacement was originally defined simply as a pattern – divergence between two species in sympatry but not allopatry – and it was recognized that multiple processes might generate this pattern. However, over ... -
Ecological character displacement: glass half full or half empty?
(Elsevier BV, 2013)Ecological character displacement (ECD), the evolutionary divergence of competing species, has oscillated wildly in scientific opinion. Initially thought to play a central role in community assembly and adaptive radiation, ... -
Energetics and the evolution of carnivorous plants - Darwin's "most wonderful plants in the world"
(Oxford University Press, 2009)Carnivory has evolved independently at least six times in five angiosperm orders. In spite of these independent origins, there is a remarkable morphological convergence of carnivorous plant traps and physiological convergence ... -

Processing Multiple Visual Objects Is Limited by Overlap in Neural Channels
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014-06-02)High-level visual categories (e.g., faces, bodies, scenes, and objects) have separable neural representations across the visual cortex. Here, we show that this division of neural resources affects the ability to simultaneously ... -
Response of Macroarthropod Assemblages to the Loss of Hemlock (Tsuga canadensis), a Foundation Species
(Ecological Society of America, 2011)In eastern North American forests, eastern hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) is a foundation species. As hemlock is lost from forests due to the invasive hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae) and pre-emptive salvage logging, ... -
Uniform Amplification of Phage with Different Growth Characteristics in Individual Compartments Consisting of Monodisperse Droplets
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010)Jeder Klon zählt! Beim Phagen-Display gehen Klone, die das Phagenwachstum hemmende Liganden präsentieren, bei der Vervielfältigung verloren. In monodispersen Emulsionen, die mithilfe eines einfachen Mikrofluidiksystems ... -
What Do We Learn From Schumpeterian Growth Theory?
(National Bureau of Economic Research Inc, 2013)Schumpeterian growth theory has "operationalized" Schumpeter''s notion of creative destruction by developing models based on this concept. These models shed light on several aspects of the growth process which could not ...
