The Effect of Positive Interactions on Temporal Turnover of Community Composition along an Environmental Gradient by Youshi Wang (483649)

“…Additionally, due to the difficulties in collecting the long-term data, it would be useful to indicate the rate of temporal turnover using a readily obtainable metric. Using an individual-based model incorporating plant strategies, we examined the role of facilitation on the temporal turnover of communities located at different positions along an environmental gradient for three model scenarios: CM without facilitation; CFM-U, a unimodal relationship between facilitation and environmental severity; and CFM-L, a positively linear relationship between facilitation and environmental severity. …”

Subjective optimality model. by Yeonju Sin (11846045)

Adolescent Brain Maturation and Cortical Folding: Evidence for Reductions in Gyrification by Daniel Klein (509727)

“…Our data show pronounced and widespread reductions in GI-values during adolescence in several cortical regions which include precentral, temporal and frontal areas. Decreases in gyrification overlap only partially with changes in the thickness, volume and surface of GM and were characterized overall by a linear developmental trajectory. …”
