Aim To investigate the impact of positional uncertainty in species occurrences on the
predictions of seven commonly used species distribution models (SDMs), and explore its …

Issues of residual spatial autocorrelation (RSA) and spatial scale are critical to the study of
species–environment relationships, because RSA invalidates many statistical procedures …

The Wasserstein metric or earth mover's distance is a useful tool in statistics, computer
science and engineering with many applications to biological or medical imaging, among …

Severe land subsidence due to groundwater extraction may occur in multiaquifer systems
where highly compressible aquitards are present. The highly compressible nature of the …

Cells in natural environments, such as tissue or soil, sense and respond to extracellular
ligands with intricately structured and non-monotonic spatial distributions, sculpted by …

Species' geographic ranges could primarily be physiological tolerances drawn in space.
Alternatively, geographic ranges could be only broadly constrained by physiological climatic …

In response to climate warming, a southward shift in productive frontal systems serving as
the main foraging sites for many top predator species is likely to occur in Subantarctic areas …

Discrete-time random walks and their extensions are common tools for analyzing animal
movement data. In these analyses, resolution of temporal discretization is a critical feature …

The selection of an appropriate spatial extent of a sampling plot is one among several
important decisions involved in planning a throughfall sampling scheme. In fact, the choice …

Collecting weed exact counts in an agricultural field is easy but extremely time consuming.
Image analysis algorithms for object extraction applied to pictures of agricultural fields may …
