Biological Diversity, EarlyView.The first inventory of ants from the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea was compiled, revealing 21 species: 70% native and 30% exotic. Anthropogenic disturbance primarily drove exotic colonization, whereas island area showed weak positive effects on species richness. Most ants were omnivorous, with key mutualistic and seed‐dispersal roles.

Determination of Primary Spectral Bands for Remote Sensing of Aquatic Environments
Sensors, 2007 About 30 years ago, NASA launched the first ocean-color observing satellite:the Coastal Zone Color Scanner. CZCS had 5 bands in the visible-infrared domain with anobjective to detect changes of phytoplankton (measured by concentration of chlorophyll ...

The Use of VGPM to Estimate Oceanic Primary Production: A “Tango” Difficult to Dance
Journal of Remote Sensing, 2022 One of the primary goals of launching an ocean color satellite is to obtain over the global ocean synoptic measurements of primary production (PP), a measure of phytoplankton photosynthesis.

What drives animal responses to high severity fire? The role of functional traits
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fire regimes are changing worldwide, with increases in the frequency, extent, and severity of fires posing growing risks to biodiversity. Fire severity – the degree of habitat alteration following fire – strongly influences both immediate survival and long‐term recovery of fauna.

Sensor performance requirements for atmospheric correction of satellite ocean color remote sensing.
Optics Express, 2018 We analyze the effects of the sensor signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) requirements for atmospheric correction of satellite ocean color remote sensing using the near-infrared (NIR) and shortwave infrared (SWIR) bands.

Teleanatomy: A Conceptual Framework for Anatomy Across Distance
Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT For centuries, anatomy has been fundamentally grounded in physical proximity. Anatomical knowledge has traditionally been acquired through direct observation of the human body by dissection, surgery, physical examination, and medical imaging. Advances in imaging, three‐dimensional modeling, telecommunication, robotics, artificial intelligence (

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingAccurate superpixel segmentation of ocean remote sensing data plays a crucial role in the success of monitoring the changes on the ocean surface. Recently, so many superpixel segmentation methods have attracted much attention to ocean remote sensing ...

Ecography, EarlyView.The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

System vicarious calibration and ocean color retrieval from the HY-1C UVI
International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and GeoinformationUltraviolet (UV) remote sensing plays a critical role in understanding photochemical and biological processes in the global ocean. While UV radiation significantly influences the marine environment, the limited availability of global UV measurements has ...
