Land use alters trophic redundancy and resource flow through stream food webs.
(2019-02-03)The changes to physical and chemical ecosystem characteristics as a response to pervasive and intensifying land use have the potential to alter the consumer-resource interactions and to rewire the flow of energy through ... -
Landscape heterogeneity strengthens the relationship between β-diversity and ecosystem function.
(2018-11)Consensus has emerged in the literature that increased biodiversity enhances the capacity of ecosystems to perform multiple functions. However, most biodiversity/ecosystem function studies focus on a single ecosystem, or ... -
Larger, more connected societies of ants have a higher prevalence of viruses
(Wiley, 2022)The benefits of cooperative living for foraging, nesting, defence and buffering environmental challenges lead animals with the most highly social lifestyles to dominate many ecosystems. However, living in larger, more ... -
Lasting effects of maternal behaviour on the distribution of a dispersive stream insect.
(2011-09)1. Predicting population dynamics at large spatial scales requires integrating information about spatial distribution patterns, inter-patch movement rates and within-patch processes. Advective dispersal of aquatic species ... -
Late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and natural products
(2023-03-07)Late-stage functionalization has become a method of choice for the rapid generation of chemical libraries. The high selectivity of these transformations provides great leverage for the agrochemical and pharmaceutical ... -

Learning from Behavioural Changes That Fail.
(2020-10-17)Behavioural change techniques are currently used by many global organisations and public institutions. The amassing evidence base is used to answer practical and scientific questions regarding what cognitive, affective, ... -
Learning from feedback: The neural mechanisms of feedback processing facilitating better performance

Learning from Taxonomy: Multi-label Few-Shot Classification for Everyday Sound Recognition.
(IEEE, 2022)Humans categorise and structure perceived acoustic signals into hierarchies of auditory objects. The semantics of these objects are thus informative in sound classification, especially in few-shot scenarios. However, ... -
Learning lessons: how to practice nudging around the world
(2019-01-01)© 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. The aim of this article is to cover three things: (1) to introduce the context behind why a report prepared by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation ... -
Learning Temporal Statistics for Sensory Predictions in Aging.
(2016-03)Predicting future events based on previous knowledge about the environment is critical for successful everyday interactions. Here, we ask which brain regions support our ability to predict the future based on implicit ... -
Learning temporal statistics for sensory predictions in mild cognitive impairment.
(2015-08)Training is known to improve performance in a variety of perceptual and cognitive skills. However, there is accumulating evidence that mere exposure (i.e. without supervised training) to regularities (i.e. patterns that ... -
Learning, specialization, efficiency and task allocation in social insects.
(2009)One of the most spectacular features of social insect colonies is their division of labor. Although individuals are often totipotent in terms of the labor they might perform, they might persistently work as scouts, fighters, ...
