Metrics that quantify habitat connectivity and fragmentation in landscape ecology are examined, as well as the relations between them and their interpretation. The radius of gyration, defined here as the root-mean-square distance of habitat patches from the center of the habitat, has special significance from an ecological point of view that other metrics lack. This metric has been incorrectly ...

Using a three-body model with density-dependent contact interaction, we discuss the root mean square distance between the two valence neutrons in Li nuclues as a function of the center of mass of the neutrons relative to the core nucleus Li. We show that the mean distance takes a pronounced minimum around the surface of the nucleus, indicating a strong surface di-neutron correlation. We demonst...
