Impact of regulated water level fluctuations on the sexual reproduction of remnant Myricaria laxiflora populations

The construction and operation of the Three Gorges-Gezhou cascade water conservancy and hydropower projects has dramatically changed downstream water level fluctuations.Remnant populations of Myricaria laxiflora, an aquatic endangered plant, have been severely affected by the regulated water level fluctuations.In this study, the impact of regulated

Growth and Fecundity of Nonnative Blue Honeysuckle Cultivars: Comparisons with Native and Invasive Congeners in a Maine Field Trial

Blue honeysuckle (Lonicera caerulea) is a circumpolar species complex with representatives in Europe, Asia, and North America.Although honeysuckles (Lonicera spp.) from Eurasia have a history of invasiveness in North America, farmers and homeowners are interested in growing nonnative blue honeysuckle hybrids because of their edible blue fruits.To a

Setting the string shoving picture in a new frame

Abstract Based on the recent success of the Angantyr model in describing multiplicity distributions of the hadronic final state in high energy heavy ion collisions, we investigate how far one can go with a such a string-based scenario to describe also Gilet flow effects measured in such collisions.For this purpose we improve our previous so-called
