The role of spatial and spatial-temporal analysis in children's causal cognition of continuous processes.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
Past research has largely ignored children's ability to conjointly manipulate spatial and temporal information, but there are indications that the capacity to do so may provide important support for reasoning about causal processes.

Inferring Colonization Processes from Population Dynamics in Spatially Structured Predator-Prey Systems [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2000
We examine how spatial subdivision of predator–prey systems affects colonization processes in metapopulations. Dynamics of the herbivorous spider mite Tetranychus urticae (prey) and the predatory mite Phytoseiulus persimilis are highly unstable on isolated bean plants (Phaseolus lunatus) and ultimately result in extinction of prey and predators ...

The glocal forest. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Spatial ecological patterns reflect the underlying processes that shape the structure of species and communities. Mechanisms like intra- and inter-specific competition, dispersal and host-pathogen interactions can act over a wide range of scales.

Ontology Driven Analysis of Spatio-temporal Phenomena, Aimed At Spatial Planning And Environmental Forecasting [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2013
Spatial planning is a crucial area for balancing civilization development with environmental protection. Spatial planning has a multidisciplinary nature.

A threshold-free model of numerosity comparisons. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2018
A dominant mechanism in the Judgment and Decision Making literature states that information is accumulated about each choice option until a decision threshold is met.

Spatial spillover effects from agriculture drive deforestation in Mato Grosso, Brazil

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Deforestation of the Amazon rainforest is a threat to global climate, biodiversity, and many other ecosystem services. In order to address this threat, an understanding of the drivers of deforestation processes is required.

Deploying digital health data to optimize influenza surveillance at national and local scales.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2018
The surveillance of influenza activity is critical to early detection of epidemics and pandemics and the design of disease control strategies. Case reporting through a voluntary network of sentinel physicians is a commonly used method of passive ...

Using spatial distance sampling models to optimize survey effort and address violations of the design assumption

open access: yesEcological Solutions and Evidence, 2021
Conventional distance sampling approaches rely on the design assumption (i.e. uniform distribution of individuals in relation to transects) to ensure unbiased inference to the population of interest.

Forward and backward inference in spatial cognition.

open access: yesPLoS Computational Biology, 2013
This paper shows that the various computations underlying spatial cognition can be implemented using statistical inference in a single probabilistic model.
