and methodological developments by recognizing the importance of micro-, meso-, macro-, and cross-scale approaches. The term landscape ecology was coined in 1939 by the German geographer Carl Troll, who was inspired by the spatial patterning of landscapes revealed in aerial photographs and the ecosystem concept developed in 1935 by the British ecologist Arthur Tansley.

Connectivity Measurement in Landscape Ecology

NRS 534: Ecology of Fragmental Landscapes Yuyu Zhou Spring 2005 Overview Connectivity refers to the degree to which a landscape facilitates or impedes ecological flows such as the movement of organisms among habitat patches and therefore the rate of movement among local populations in a metapopulation (McGarigal et al. v3).

Carrying out an optimal experiment

Diffraction data collection is the last experimental stage in structural crystallography. It has several technical and theoretical aspects and a compromise usually has to be found between various parameters in order to achieve optimal data quality. The influence and importance of various experimental parameters and their consequences are discussed in the context of different data applications, ...
