A Theory of Spatial Structure in Ecological Communities at Multiple Spatial Scales
A theory of spatial structure in ecological communities is presented and tested. At the core of the theory is a simple allocation rule for the assembly of species in space. The theory leads, with no adjustable parameters, to nonrandom statistical predictions for the spatial distribution of species at multiple spatial scales. The distributions are such that the abundance of a species at the larg...
متن کاملChanges at Multiple Spatial Scales
Change detection on rasterized data is extremely dependent on accurate radiometric and geometric rectification. The development of processing tools able to minimise these requirements has been recognised since the late eighties. In the present paper we present a methodology for detecting changes on multidate satellite images with different radiometric and geometric characteristics via Multireso...
متن کاملA test of spatial memory and movement patterns of bumblebees at multiple spatial and temporal scales
Naive bumblebee foragers appear to use movement rules at small spatial and temporal scales, but it is not clear whether these rules determine movement patterns as the scales increase. One strategy for efficient foraging used by bumblebees is near-far search, involving short flights when in good patches of flowers and longer flights when in poor patches. Bumblebees also demonstrate the use of a ...
متن کاملSpatial Integration at Multiple Scales: Rice Markets in Madagascar
The dramatic increase in the price of rice and other commodities over the past year has generated new interest in how these markets work and how they can be improved. This paper uses an exceptionally rich data set to test the extent to which markets in Madagascar are integrated across space at different scales of analysis and to explain some of the factors that limit spatial arbitrage and price...
متن کاملCommunity structure in pelagic marine mammals at large spatial scales
The understanding of a species’ niche is fundamental to the concept of ecology, yet relatively little work has been done on niches in pelagic marine mammal communities. Data collection on the distribution and abundance of marine mammals is costly, time consuming and complicated by logistical difficulties. Here we take advantage of a data archive comprising many different datasets on the distrib...
