Cosmology with quintessence from extra dimensions

Recent cosmological observations indicate that the Universe is filled with dark energy of unknown kind. It can be decribed by a universal scalar field called quintessence. Such fields appear in descriptions of the Universe involving extra dimensions like the old Kaluza-Klein unified theory and al...

The effect of climate on seed renegation strategies: Population-scale experimental tests on four Veronica species

Seeds and seedlings are vulnerable stages in the life cycles of plants, and we expect strong fitness consequences of environmental variability on these stages. Climate has a major influence on vegetation, and in species with wide geographical or altitudin al distributions, the factors and process...

Testing the cost-of-virulence hypothesis: Does a horizontally transmitted parasite have an optimal virulence?

Parasitism is a constant threat to human health, food production and wildlife conservation. Some species, or strains, produce highly lethal diseases while others are benign. Trying to understand the reasons for this variation in virulence is one of the ma jor challenges in epidemiology. In this p...
