Airborne Lidar for Woodland Habitat Quality Monitoring: Exploring the Significance of Lidar Data Characteristics when Modelling Organism-Habitat Relationships

Structure is a fundamental physical element of habitat, particularly in woodlands, and hence there has been considerable recent uptake of airborne lidar data in forest ecology studies. This paper investigates the significance of lidar data characteristics when modelling organism-habitat relationships, taking a single species case study in a mature woodland ecosystem. We re-investigate work on g...

Cell, Organism and Milieu

This Seventeenth Growth Symposium volume is comprised of papers presented in June of 1958. As stated in the foreword, the theme of the conference was that of "Differentiation and growth in response to a changing chemical environment." As Dr. Rudnick points out, and as is all too obvious, this permits an extremely wide range of papers. Subjects and authors are: (1) Wilde-Differentiation in respo...

The mature organism model

Computing an organism.

T ‘‘social amoebae’’ of species Dictyostelium discoideum roam individually through the soil as long as their bacterial food is present. The social phase for these cellular slime molds begins when the food supply is exhausted. After some hours, the assemblage of amoebae aggregate into several large groups, each of which forms a worm-like slug that propels itself toward heat and light. This bring...
