Small but powerful: top predator local extinction affects ecosystem structure and function in an intermittent stream. by Pablo Rodríguez-Lozano, Iraima Verkaik, Maria Rieradevall, Narcís Prat

“…The aim of our research was to determine how this global problem affects intermittent streams and, in particular, if the loss of a small-bodied top predator (1) leads to a 'mesopredator release', affects primary consumers and changes whole community structures, and (2) triggers a cascade effect modifying the ecosystem function. To address these questions, we studied the top-down effects of a small endangered fish species, Barbus meridionalis (the Mediterranean barbel), conducting an enclosure/exclosure mesocosm experiment in an intermittent stream where B. meridionalis became locally extinct following a wildfire. …”

Intelligent prediction method of virtual network function resource capacity for polymorphic network service slicing by Julong LAN, Di ZHU, Dan LI

“…Objectives:With the emergence and development of new network structures such as polymorphic network,the demand for network resource capacity is becoming more and more diverse.It is very difficult to adjust the distribution of virtual network functions (VNFs) carried on network slices for on-demand,dynamic and efficient resource capacity matching.This paper uses a data-driven VNF resource capacity prediction method to explore the pre-deployment of VNFs carried on network slices. …”
