Stability and instability

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of multivariate analyses was used to determine how community structure, life forms and individual species responded to the accumulated effects of long-term fire and grazing by native bison in upland, slope and lowland soils.

TL;DR: The probability of conception is linked to the stochastic variation in seasonal quality and the phenology of parturition is related to the predictable seasonality of primary productivity, indicating elephants integrate information on known current and expected future conditions when reproducing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the precipitating versions of the quasigeostrophic (QG) equations are derived systematically, starting from the equations of a cloud-resolving model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors assesses to what extent simple Taylor-type monetary policy rules provide a good description of interest rate setting behavior in the Visegrad four countries and find that exchange rates feature prominently in three of the four countries' policy rules and that the results are sensitive to the measure of inflation used.
