In all likelihood, there will be a lag between periods of increasing environmental stress and behavioral adaptation; thus a "leading edge" of increased mortality before adaptation and/or acclimatization occurs.
Though done in dead silence, Ms. Abramovic's raw performance has something to tell us -- or nudge us toward our own "Guernica" -- as an American audience, undoubtedly including artists, watches her press gingerly at the edges of her mortality.
Past themes have included everything from "Living on the Edge of Eternity: Confronting Our Mortality" to "Personal Values and Political Beliefs: Exploring the Relationship Between Our Life Experiences and Political Identification" Following the panel, there is a second small group conversation in which participants relate their personal experiences to the theme of the Intentional Conversation.
When the speed of climate change exceeds 3.7 grid cells/time step, the combination of high mortality by the trailing edge of the climate window and high mortality of long-distance dispersers pushes the population to the limit of what is theoretically possible in our model.
In contrast, baseline LDL cholesterol edged out ΔLDLControl-Rx as the strongest determinant of mortality, but neither was significant after the exclusion of active-comparator studies.
We disentangle the interplay of single effects of different key fragmentation processes (edge mortality, increased mortality of large trees, local seed loss and external seed rain) using simulation experiments in a full factorial design.
Uniform mortality and increasing gradients of mortality risk deposited subsidies farther from the habitat boundary than did edge mortality and decreasing gradients.
We ran models varying the correlation in a correlated random walk and explored four patterns of mortality risk: uniform mortality, higher mortality in the edge at the habitat boundary, a decreasing gradient and an increasing gradient of mortality risk as individuals move away from the boundary.
Models describing the relative risk of mortality were positively associated with human access, water, and edge features, while negatively associated with terrain ruggedness and greenness indices.
Edge mortality scenarios also resulted in higher densities of subsidies than other patterns of mortality risk.
