Climate and Socio‐Sexual Environment Predict Interpopulation Variation in Chemical Signaling Glands in a Widespread Lizard

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
High phenotypic variation in femoral pore number across 55 populations of Podarcis muralis is best explained by a combination of positive allometry (size) and the local intensity of sexual selection (sexual dimorphism in body size, SSD) or local climatic conditions, notably temperature and vegetation density.

Retrieval of canopy height using moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data

open access: yesRemote Sensing of Environment, 2011
article i nfo In this study we use the 500 m Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Bidirectional Reflectance Distribution Function (BRDF) product to develop multivariate linear regression models that estimate canopy heights over study sites at Howland Forest, Maine, Harvard Forest, Massachusetts and La Selva Forest, Costa Rica using (1)

Multiscale climatological albedo look-up maps derived from moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer BRDF/albedo products

open access: yes, 2014
Surface albedo determines radiative forcing and is a key parameter for driving Earth’s climate. Better characterization of surface albedo for individual land cover types can reduce the uncertainty in estimating changes to Earth’s radiation balance due to

TTR.PGM: An R package for modelling the distributions and dynamics of plants using the Thornley transport resistance plant growth model

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract An ability to predict the ranges and dynamics of species is central to ecological and evolutionary research. Despite species range modelling being an active area of research for the past three to four decades, methods for predicting species ranges and their dynamics are still diversifying.

Assessment of Accuracy of Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Sea Surface Temperature at High Latitudes Using Saildrone Data

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The infrared (IR) satellite remote sensing of sea surface skin temperature (SSTskin) is challenging in the northern high-latitude region, especially in the Arctic because of its extreme environmental conditions, and thus the accuracy of SSTskin ...

A practical topographic correction method for improving Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer gross primary productivity estimation over mountainous areas

open access: yesInternational Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2021
Time-series Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) gross primary productivity (GPP) has been served as an effective tool to assess the terrestrial carbon budget for the entire globe since 2000.

Habitat dynamics of flagship species for conservation prioritization in southern Europe

open access: yesConservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiversity loss is accelerating due to human actions, and decision‐making for conservation needs to be streamlined. Ex situ biodiversity modeling and monitoring based on satellite time‐series data could be an affordable and cost‐efficient tool for improving the prioritization of conservation areas.

Multi-Temporal Spectral Analysis of Rice Fields in South Korea Using MODIS and RapidEye Satellite Imagery [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2012
Space-borne remote sensing is an effective and inexpensive way to identify crop fields and detect the crop condition. We examined the multi-temporal spectral characteristics of rice fields in South Korea to detect their phenological development and ...
