From abundance-based to functional-based indicator species

Estimating abundance-based generalized species accumulation curves

An important but difficult problem in ecological studies is estimating species richness, i.e., the number of species in an assemblage based on an incomplete survey (Colwell and Coddington 1994). The same problem also arises from various other scientific fields (Bunge and Fitzpatrick 1993). In the survey, individuals are selected from the species assemblage and their species identities are recog...

translation of collocations from english into persian, based on ghazalas theory

غزالا همایندها را به صورت ترکیبی از دو یا چند واژه که همواره در متون مختلف زبان ها همراه با هم می آیند تعریف می نماید. از دیدگاه او روند رو به رشد میل به ترجمه ی همایندها در مطالعات ترجمه، به دلیل اهمیت آنها در انسجام ساختار زبان است. این پایان نامه اساسا به ترجمه ی همایندها منحصر شده است. هدف آن بررسی کاربرد راهکارهای غزالا در مورد ترجمه ی همایندها از انگلیسی به فارسی است. هدف دیگر آن یافتن پر...

Protein abundance is key to distinguish promiscuous from functional phosphorylation based on evolutionary information.

In eukaryotic cells, protein phosphorylation is an important and widespread mechanism used to regulate protein function. Yet, of the thousands of phosphosites identified to date, only a few hundred at best have a characterized function. It was recently shown that these functional sites are significantly more conserved than phosphosites of unknown function, stressing the importance of considerin...

Estimating Species Abundance from Occurrence.

A new species abundance distribution model based on model combination.

Species abundance distribution (SAD) is one of the important measures of biodiversity and one of the most significant concepts in ecology communities. Using this concept, the biologists can infer a lot of information from their collected data. In this article, we proposed a new method for predicting SAD. This method is based on the combination of several measures parameterized by machine learni...
