Ein neues Ardham gadh -Wörterbuch

Es ist eine bedauerliche Tatsache, dass die Ardham gadh -Sprache bislang in der Indologie nur wenig Beachtung erfahren hat. Mit seinem neuen Ardham gadh -Wörterbuch will der Verfasser dieser Zeilen diese Lücke füllen und damit einen Beitrag zum Studium der wichtigen, doch bisher vernachlässigten Religion und Philosophie der Jainas leisten.It is a regrettable matter of fact that until our days the Ardham gadh -language has received only few attention by the indologists.

When Does Evolution Optimise?

Goal: Elucidating the role of the eco-evolutionary feedback loop in determining evolutionarily stable life histories, with particular reference to the methodological status of the optimisation procedures of classical evolutionary ecology. Conclusion: A pure optimisation approach holds water only when the eco-evolutionary feedbacks are of a particularly simple kind

When Does Evolution Optimize? On the Relation Between Types of Density Dependence and Evolutionarily Stable Life History Parameters

In this paper we (i) put forward a simple notational device clarifying the, undeniable but generally ignored, role of density dependence in determining evolutionarily stable life histories, (ii) use this device to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for (a) the existence of an evolutionary extremization principle, and (b) the reduction of such a principle to straight r- or RO-maximization, (iii) use the latter results to analyze a simple concrete example showing that the details of the population dynamical embedding may influence our evolutionary predictions to an unexpected extent
