Explaining local-scale species distributions: relative contributions of spatial autocorrelation and landscape heterogeneity for an avian assemblage. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Understanding interactions between mobile species distributions and landcover characteristics remains an outstanding challenge in ecology. Multiple factors could explain species distributions including endogenous evolutionary traits leading to ...

Superconductor strip with transport current: Magneto-optical study of current distribution and its relaxation [PDF]
, 2001 The dynamics of magnetic flux distributions across a YBaCuO strip carrying transport current is measured using magneto-optical imaging at 20 K. The current is applied in pulses of 40-5000 ms duration and magnitude close to the critical one, 5.5 A. During

Study of Multiparticle Spikes in Central 4.5A GeV/c C-Cu Collisions
, 1998 An analysis of local fluctuations, or spikes, is performed for charged particles produced in central C-Cu collisions at 4.5 GeV/$c$/nucleon. The distributions of spike-centers and the maximum density distributions are investigated for different narrow ...

Local pore size correlations determine flow distributions in porous media
, 2017 The relationship between the microstructure of a porous medium and the observed flow distribution is still a puzzle. We resolve it with an analytical model, where the local correlations between adjacent pores, which determine the distribution of flows ...

Regional distribution shifts help explain local changes in wintering raptor abundance: implications for interpreting population trends. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Studies of multiple taxa across broad-scales suggest that species distributions are shifting poleward in response to global climate change. Recognizing the influence of distribution shifts on population indices will be an important part of interpreting ...
