Jet-powered Turbulence in Common Envelope Evolution

We conduct a three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulation of common envelope evolution (CEE) where a neutron star (NS) spirals in inside the envelope of Wall stickers a red supergiant star in a predetermined orbit.We find that the jets shed pairs of vortices in an expanding spiral pattern, inflate two expanding spirally shaped low-density bubbles, o

Changes in defense of an alien plant Ambrosia artemisiifolia before and after the invasion of a native specialist enemy Ophraella communa.

The evolution of increased competitive ability hypothesis (EICA) predicts that when alien plants are free from their natural enemies they evolve lower allocation to defense in order to achieve a higher growth rate.If this hypothesis is true, the converse implication would be that the defense against herbivory could be restored if a natural enemy al
