Trait-mediated environmental filtering drives assembly at biogeographic transition zones.
Abiotic filtering is a major driver of gradients in the structure and functioning of ecosystems from the tropics to the poles. It is thus likely that environmental filtering is an important assembly process at the transition of biogeographical zones where many species occur at their range limits. Shifts in species abundances and association patterns along environmental gradients can be indicati...
متن کاملBiodiversity Hotspots and Zones of Ecological Transition
Biodiversity hotspots are areas of high priority for conservation (Reid 1998). They may be selected on the basis of their local species richness, degree of concentration of rare species (Prendergast et al. 1993) or the two measures combined with some assessment of urgency for conservation action (Myers et al. 2000). More targeted approaches identify " hotspots of complementarity " on the basis ...

متن کاملEvolution of shear zones in granular materials.
The evolution of wide shear zones or shear bands was investigated experimentally and numerically for quasistatic dry granular flows in split bottom shear cells. We compare the behavior of materials consisting of beads, irregular grains, such as sand, and elongated particles. Shearing an initially random sample, the zone width was found to significantly decrease in the first stage of the process...
متن کاملExcimer ablation design and elliptical transition zones.
PURPOSE To describe the rationale behind elliptical and other transition designs used with the excimer laser. SETTING Casey Eye Institute, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, Oregon, USA. METHODS Ablation zone designs were analyzed for the number of transition points for myopia and hyperopia. The advantages and disadvantages of elliptical transition zones are demonstrated graphical...
