Greenways and Ecological Networks: Concepts, Differences, Similarities

Spatial Neural Networks and their Functional Samples: Similarities and Differences

Models of neural networks have proven their utility in the development of learning algorithms in computer science and in the theoretical study of brain dynamics in computational neuroscience. We propose in this paper a spatial neural network model to analyze the important class of functional networks, which are commonly employed in computational studies of clinical brain imaging time series. We...

Niches: Similarities and Differences

Organisms are machines designed by their evolution to play a certain role. This role, together with the environment within which it is played, is called the organism's niche 1. For example, most cats — tigers, leopards, mountain lions — play the role of solitary hunters; wolves and wild dogs are social hunters; antelope are social grazers; and so on. The niche defines the patterns of adaptive b...

Differences and Similarities in Attentional Bias between Patients with Bipolar II Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder

Background and purpose: The boundary between bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder has always been a matter of debate. Despite the importance of this issue, only a few studies have directly compared these two groups. The main purpose of this study was to compare the cognitive profile of patients with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder in terms of attentional bia...

Differences and similarities between ecological and economic models for biodiversity conservation

Relationships between ecological interaction modifications and diffuse coe olution: similarities, differences, and causal links

A major empirical approach in community ecology is to describe the dynamics of a community by examining small subsets of species. Unfortunately, interaction modifications, which cause pair-wise interaction coefficients to depend on the presence or absence of additional species, can make it difficult to predict the overall dynamics of species within a community from experiments with pairs of spe...
