TRENDS IN THE EVOLUTION OF ECOLOGY: “SPAIN IS DIFFERENT”

Trends in the evolution of ecology: “Spain is different”

During the last fifty years ecology has matured as a scientific discipline.In this paper I analyse the temporal development of the paradigm based on physical systems (the ecosystem paradigm), and the evolutionary ecology paradigm.I first analyse the contents of 61 textbooks to calculate the relative importance of ecosystem and evolutionary ecology

Global weak solutions to degenerate coupled transport processes in partially saturated deformable elastic-inelastic porous media

In this work we prove the existence of global weak solutions to a degenerate and strongly coupled parabolic system arising from the transport processes through partially saturated deformable porous materials.The hygro-thermal model is VITAMIN K coupled with quasi-static evolution equations modeling elastic and inelastic mechanical deformations.Phys
