Aims: Species distributions are hypothesized to be underlain by a complex association of processes that span multiple spatial scales including biotic interactions, dispersal limitation, fine-scale ...

Mathematicians propose a theoretical framework to understand how waves and other disturbances move through materials in conditions that vary in both space and time. The theory is called 'field ...

A number of studies at large scales have pointed out that abiotic factors and recolonization dynamics appear to be more important than biotic interactions in structuring stream-fish assemblages. In ...

Non-reciprocal interactions can increase the order in an active system. The researchers created a model to describe the emerging patterns depending on the amount of non-reciprocity in an active system ...

Kelvin wakes: patterns seen in cleaved silicon resemble the wakes made by these boats. (Courtesy: Arpingstone) Unwanted roughness on cleaved silicon surfaces is created by an acoustic effect that is ...
