Spatial synchrony, the tendency for populations across space to show correlated
fluctuations, is a fundamental feature of population dynamics, linked to central topics of …

Productivity benefits from diversity can arise when compatible pathogen hosts are buffered
by unrelated neighbors, diluting pathogen impacts. However, the generality of pathogen …

Prognostic analysis for patient survival often employs gene expressions obtained from high-
throughput screening for tumor tissues from patients. When dealing with survival data, a …

Survival and reliability analyses deal with incomplete failure time data, such as censored
and truncated data. Recently, the classical left-truncation scheme was generalized to …

Traditional bivariate meta-analyses adopt the bivariate normal model. As the bivariate
normal distribution produces symmetric dependence, it is not flexible enough to describe the …

Complex links between biotic and abiotic constituents are fundamental for the functioning of
ecosystems. Although non-monotonic interactions and associations are known to increase …

Assessing the impact of ecological water diversion on oasis restoration is critical for water
resources and environmental management in arid inland basins. This study proposed a …

Animal movement is often modelled in discrete time, formulated in terms of steps taken
between successive locations at regular time intervals. Steps are characterized by the …

Preserving groundwater-dependent terrestrial ecosystems through environmental water
allocation is critical for sustainable development in arid inland basins. Assessing the …

Spatial synchrony may be tail‐dependent, that is, stronger when populations are abundant
than scarce, or vice‐versa. Here,'tail‐dependent'follows from distributions having a lower tail …
