Automatic Feature Scaling and Selection for Support Vector Machine Classi cation with Functional Data
(Springer, 2020)
Functional Data Analysis (FDA) has become a very important eld
in recent years due to its wide range of applications. However, there are several
real-life applications in which hybrid functional data appear, i.e., data ...
Directional, stabilizing, and disruptive trait selection as alternative mechanisms for plant community assembly
(Ecological Society of America, 2017-03-30)
How plant functional traits (e.g., seed mass) drive species abundance within communities remains an unsolved question. Borrowing concepts from natural selection theory, we propose that trait-abundance relationships can ...
A Bayesian decision theory approach for genomic selection
(Genetics Society of America, 2018)
Fruit selection by Andean forest birds: influence of fruit functional traits and their temporal variation
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-09)
Fruit selection, i.e., the consumption of fruits disproportionately to their availability, results from the interaction between diet preferences and ecological factors that modify them. We assessed the importance of ...
Pollinator-mediated selection and experimental manipulation of the flower phenotype in Chloraea bletioides
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2010-05-20)
1. While many studies of flower evolution have relied on the assessment of selection coefficients,
these estimates represent correlative evidence of selection. Few studies have combined correlative
with experimental ...
Lipschitz Continuity of Convex Functions
(Springer, 2020)
We provide some necessary and sufficient conditions for a proper lower semicontinuous convex function, defined on a real Banach space, to be locally or globally Lipschitz continuous. Our criteria rely on the existence of ...
The search for Pleiades in trait constellations: functional integration and phenotypic selection in the complex flowers of Morrenia brachystephana (Apocynaceae)
(Dryad, 2014-01-17)
Pollinator-mediated natural selection on single traits, such as corolla tube or spur length, has been well documented. However, flower phenotypes are usually complex, and selection is expected to act on several traits that ...

(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2014-02)
Pollinator-mediated natural selection on single traits, such as corolla tube or spur length, has been well documented. However, flower phenotypes are usually complex, and selection is expected to act on several traits that ...
Habitat selection by capybaras (Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris) in natural and anthropic landscapes in Brazil
(Universidade Federal de São CarlosUFSCarPrograma de Pós-Graduação em Conservação da Fauna - PPGCFauCâmpus São Carlos, 2019-02-15)
Wildlife distribution is driven by a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that limit species to habitats with the adequate resources and conditions to maintain their survival. The selection of specific habitats by ...
