Effects of spatial autocorrelation and sampling design on estimates of protected area effectiveness. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2020 Abstract Estimating the effectiveness of protected areas (PAs) in reducing deforestation is useful to support decisions on whether to invest in better management of areas already protected or to create new ones. Statistical matching is commonly used to assess this effectiveness, but spatial autocorrelation and regional differences in protection ...

Statistical matching for conservation science. [PDF]
Conserv Biol, 2020 Abstract The awareness of the need for robust impact evaluations in conservation is growing and statistical matching techniques are increasingly being used to assess the impacts of conservation interventions. Used appropriately matching approaches are powerful tools, but they also pose potential pitfalls.

Identification, spatial distribution, and associated factors of urban protected areas in China. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract The increasing proximity between protected areas (PAs) and urban areas, which can lead to urban protected areas (UPAs), is now commonplace. Use of Euclidean distance to measure the distance between PAs and cities has not correctly portrayed the spatial relationship between PAs and cities.

Tracking Small Animals in Complex Landscapes: A Comparison of Localisation Workflows for Automated Radio Telemetry Systems. [PDF]
Ecol EvolAutomated radio telemetry grids provide the possibility of studying movement of small animals at very fine spatial scales, but the influence of rugged terrains and vegetation on localisation error curtails the applicability of this technology. In this study, we present a comparative workflow to reduce error and show how selecting higher radio signal ...

Uneven geographies: ageing and population dynamics in Latvia
Regional Science Policy &Practice, Volume 15, Issue 4, Page 893-908, May 2023., 2023 Abstract The twin phenomena of ageing populations and declining populations are profoundly transforming societies and economies in Europe. Driven by decreasing fertility rates and the continuing increased life expectancy, populations have not been ageing uniformly across time and space.

Spatial surface-pattern analyses and boundary detection techniques applied in forest ecology [PDF]
, 2006 [EN] We review methods for uni- and multivariate surface pattern analysis and boundary detection used in forest ecology. A continuous surface pattern is defined as the locations of points (trees) in the space and the associated variable or variables.
