Understanding the statistical dynamics of growth and inequality is a fundamental challenge to ecology society. Recent analyses wealth income in contemporary societies show that economic very dynamic individuals experience substantially different rates over time. However, despite fast growing body evidence for importance fluctuations, we still lack general theory understanding dynamical effects ...

The concepts of ecotopes and forest sites are used to describe the correlative complexes defined by landform, vegetation structure, stand characteristics relationship between soil physiography. Physically heterogeneous landscapes such as karst, which is characterized abundant sinkholes outcrops, exhibit diverse microtopography. Understanding variation in growth trees a topography important for ...

We have used endocytotic uptake of the styryl dye FM1-43 at synaptic terminals (Betz and Bewick, 1992) to study properties of individual synapses formed by axons of single hippocampal neurons in tissue culture. The distribution of values for probability of evoked transmitter release p estimated by dye uptake is continuous, with a preponderance of low p synapses and a broad spread of probabiliti...
