Coupling in situ and remote sensing data to assess α‐ and β‐diversity over biogeographic gradients
Ecography, EarlyView.The mapping of plant biodiversity represents a fundamental stage in establishing conservation priorities, particularly in identifying groups of species that share ecological requirements or evolutionary histories. This is often achieved by assessing different spatial diversity patterns in plant population distributions.

Flight feasibility assessment of shuttle/LANDSAT-D missions [PDF]
Because of performance limitations, the shuttle cannot rendezvous with the LANDSAT D satellite in its primary orbit; the actual rendezvous altitude is a function of the performance of the two LANDSAT vehicles and of the shuttle.

The Geographical Journal, EarlyView.Short Abstract This study evaluates the combined impact of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and climate change on maximum evaporation rates (Eo) for 1859 open water bodies with total area ~173,500 m2 on Palm Jumeirah Island, Dubai. Historic (2010–20) annual mean Eo from open water was estimated to be ~600 million litres (ML), equivalent to the water

On the Number of Components for Matrix‐Variate Mixtures: A Comparison Among Information Criteria
International Statistical Review, EarlyView.Summary This study explores the crucial task of determining the optimal number of components in mixture models, known as mixture order, when considering matrix‐variate data. Despite the growing interest in this data type among practitioners and researchers, the effectiveness of information criteria in selecting the mixture order remains largely ...

A historical review of giant kelp harvesting in Tasmania
Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Kelps have a long history of human use and exploitation. Knowledge of past harvesting practices offers insights into environmental baselines and the contemporary management and conservation of these critically important ecosystems. In Tasmania, Australia, giant kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) was commercially harvested for alginate production from
