Does Proximity to Wetland Shrubland Increase the Habitat Value for Shrubland Birds of Small Patches of Upland Shrubland in the Northeastern United States?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Forestry Research, 2014
The loss of shrubland habitat is linked to population declines for many wildlife species, including several bird species of conservation concern. Conservation agencies in the northeastern United States encourage private landowners to clearcut patches of ...

Phase Field Modelling of Submonolayer Epitaxial Growth

open access: yes, 2010
We report simulations of submonolayer epitaxial growth using a continuum phase field model. The island density and the island size distribution both show scaling behavior.

Anthropogenic Disturbances Influenced the Island Effect on Both Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Diversity on Subtropical Islands, Pingtan, China

open access: yesPlants
The investigation of taxonomic diversity within island plant communities stands as a central focus in the field of island biogeography. Phylogenetic diversity is crucial for unraveling the evolutionary history, ecological functions, and species ...

Plant diversity on high elevation islands – drivers of species richness and endemism

open access: yesFrontiers of Biogeography, 2016
High elevation islands elicit fascination because of their large array of endemic species and strong environmental gradients. First, I define a high elevation island according to geographic and environmental characteristics.

Financial Burden Associated With Hospitalisation Among Families of Childhood Brain Tumours in Australia

open access: yesPediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Families of children with cancer experience significant financial strain, even with universal healthcare. Indirect costs, such as productivity losses and non‐medical expenses, are rarely included in economic evaluations, and little is known about how effectively financial aid programmes alleviate this burden. Childhood brain tumours

On the role of system size in Hall MHD magnetic reconnection

open access: yes, 2017
We study the effects of the Hall electric field on magnetic island coalescence in the large island limit and find evidence for both a elongated electron current sheet layer with a Sweet-Parker-like reconnection rate and a collapsed, Petschek-like ...

Re‐approaching the small island effect

open access: yesJournal of Biogeography, 2006
AbstractAim  To propose a new approach to the small island effect (SIE) and a simple mathematical procedure for the estimation of its upper limit. The main feature of the SIE is that below an upper size threshold an increase of species number with increase of area in small islands is not observed.Location  Species richness patterns from different taxa ...
