Understanding armed conflicts

Understanding armed conflicts

by nina | Apr 17, 2018 | Evolution and ecology, Leadership in ASA, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

Armed conflicts remain widespread around the globe, yet their dynamics are poorly understood. The recent introduction and analysis of a simple model enables basic insights into how military characteristics and recruitment policies affect the dynamics of these...
Shedding light on vegetation dynamics

Shedding light on vegetation dynamics

by nina | Apr 17, 2018 | Evolution and ecology, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

Plants are of central importance to terrestrial ecosystems and play a key role in the global carbon cycle. In 2017, the IIASA Evolution and Ecology Program showed how the inclusion of evolutionary and eco-physiological principles enables improved vegetation models....

Getting to grips with evolutionary fisheries science

by nina | Apr 17, 2018 | Americas, Evolution and ecology, Part of RANDOM POSTS - Yes

The IIASA Evolution and Ecology Program has played an internationally leading role in bringing attention to the evolutionary consequences of exploiting the world’s fish stocks. Fishing not only affects the numbers of fish, but also their heritable characteristics....
Artificial reefs breathe new life into ecosystems
