Urban ecological studies, including focus on cities, suburbs, and exurbs, while having deep
roots in the early to mid 20th century, have burgeoned in the last several decades. We use …

Rapid urbanization has become an area of crucial concern in conservation owing to the
radical changes in habitat structure and loss of species engendered by urban and suburban …

Body size determines a host of species traits that can affect the structure and dynamics of
food webs, and other ecological networks, across multiple scales of organization. Measuring …

The stochastic differential equations corresponding to the updating algorithm of Dissipative
Particle Dynamics (DPD), and the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation are derived. It is …

We critically review dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) as a mesoscopic simulation method.
We have established useful parameter ranges for simulations, and have made a link …

Urbanization contributes to the loss of the world's biodiversity and the homogenization of its
biota. However, comparative studies of urban biodiversity leading to robust generalities of …

The world's human population is becoming concentrated into cities, giving rise to concerns
that it is becoming increasingly isolated from nature. Urban public greenspaces form the …

A new treatment of the phase behaviour of a colloid+ nonadsorbing polymer mixture is
described. The calculated phase diagrams show marked polymer partitioning between …

Aquifex aeolicus was one of the earliest diverging, and is one of the most thermophilic,
bacteria known. It can grow on hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts. The …

Implementations of wearable microneedle-based arrays of sensors for the monitoring of
multiple biomarkers in interstitial fluid have lacked system integration and evidence of robust …
