Global Biogeographical Pattern of Ecosystem Functional Types Derived From Earth Observation Data
The present study classified global Ecosystem Functional Types (EFTs) derived from seasonal vegetation dynamics of the GIMMS3g NDVI time-series. Rotated Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was run on the derived phenological and productivity variables, which selected the Standing Biomass (approximation of Net Primary Productivity), the Cyclic Fraction (seasonal vegetation productivity), the Perm...
متن کاملQuantitative palaeobiogeography: GIS, phylogenetic biogeographical analysis, and conservation insights
Palaeobiogeography is the study of biogeography in the fossil record and pursues as an overall goal tracing the coevolution of the Earth and its biota (Lieberman, 2005). Reconstructing the biogeographical ranges and examining the distribution of fossil organisms has long been an important area of palaeontological research. For example, the recognition that fossils of Mesosaurus, a freshwater re...
متن کاملGlobal analysis of neutrino oscillation data in four-neutrino schemes
We present an analysis of the global neutrino oscillation data in terms of four-neutrino mass schemes. We find that the strong preference of oscillations into active neutrinos implied by the latest solar as well as atmospheric neutrino data allows to rule out (2+2) mass schemes, whereas (3+1) schemes are strongly disfavoured by shortbaseline experiments. Our analysis shows that four-neutrino os...
متن کاملAssembly rules and functional groups at global biogeographical scales
1. The taxonomic and functional composition of reef fish assemblages are quantified in three biogeographical regions: Great Barrier Reef, French Polynesia and Caribbean. Assemblages are described in three habitats of differing wave exposure. Functional abilities are estimated based on published analyses linking fin morphology and swimming performance. 2. Two questions were addressed: (1) To wha...
متن کاملGlobal Communication Schemes on QCDOC
We present a global Allgather communication algorithm on the architecture with nearest neighbor communications on a high dimensiona communication is needed for several applications, such as the molecular d algorithm involving Ewald summation for long-ranged interactions, matri multiplication, and the solution of l architecture is scalable for molecular dynamics algorithms even tho designed spec...
