731. Decomposition of Whittaker’s gamma diversity : a novel way combining entropies and divergencesIvano Vascotto, Davide Agnetta, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: Accurate, standardized, and comparable methods for estimating biodiversity are crucial in ecology to properly assess and monitor the health of communities. Special cases of generalized entropy are commonly used to estimate alpha diversity. The related concept of generalized divergence can be used to estimate the beta diversity. Using cross entropy notion, we propose a modular decomposition of gamma diversity by using entropy and divergence functions. We prove that if alpha is Shannon entropy and beta is Kullback-Liebler divergence, the classical Whittaker’s gamma diversity is mathematically decomposed via our proposed local gamma index. To show the ecological application of this index and its generalization we compute the local gamma of several orders using a real large biological dataset. The index is discussed in detail for two limit cases, one where the contribution of rare species is the highest and one where richness and evenness are balanced. The index defines a gradient from communities that are dominated by a few common species toward samples shared among several uncommon ones. Our findings support divergence-based measures as practical estimators of beta diversity. Also, the framework here proposed, based on entropy, divergences and cross-entropies, allows us to compute the classic gamma diversity while providing components that are independent, comparable, self-reliant and pointwise distributed.

732. Asymmetry of copulas with a given opposite diagonal sectionDamjana Kokol-Bukovšek, Blaž Mojškerc, Nik Stopar, 2025, original scientific article Abstract: In this paper we investigate bivariate copulas with a given opposite diagonal section. We determine the exact lower bound for all such copulas and derive an explicit formula for the maximal asymmetry for copulas with a given opposite diagonal section. As a special case, we consider the situation when the opposite diagonal section is symmetric and unimodal, which is true in many applications. To obtain our results, we also calculate the maximal asymmetry of all distributions with fixed marginals, which is an interesting result by itself.

737. Mentoring programmes for women in research and academia in Europe : version v1Aleksandra Thomson, María López Belloso, Theranda Beqiri, Ana Rotter, Colette Guillopé, Jasmin Schomakers, Anna Szlavi, Ermira H. Kalaj, Maria Bostenaru Dan, Fatma Demir Korkmaz, 2025, complete scientific database of research data Abstract: This dataset documents an exploratory mapping of mentorship programmes designed to support women and other marginalised groups within academic and research environments across Europe and neighbouring regions. The initiative was led by members of VOICES Working Group 1 (WG1), who contributed insights based on their local institutional knowledge. Rather than aiming for statistical representativeness, the mapping sought to capture diverse, context-specific examples of mentoring practices and structures.
