Flow cytometry as a tool for the study of phytoplankton
Scientia Marina, 2000 An overview is presented on flow cytometry as a tool for counting, analysis and identification of phytoplankton species and groups. The paper covers basics on the analysis technique and instrumentation such as the measuring principle, the type of ...

A road map for synthesizing the scaling patterns in ecology [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Ecology studies biodiversity in its variety and complexity. It describes how species distribute and perform in response to environmental changes. Ecological processes and structures are highly complex and adaptive. In order to quantify emerging ecological patterns and investigate their hidden mechanisms, we need to rely on the simplicity of ...

Ecological non-linear state space model selection via adaptive particle Markov chain Monte Carlo (AdPMCMC) [PDF]
arXiv, 2010 We develop a novel advanced Particle Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm that is capable of sampling from the posterior distribution of non-linear state space models for both the unobserved latent states and the unknown model parameters. We apply this novel methodology to five population growth models, including models with strong and weak Allee effects,

A robust particle detection algorithm based on symmetry [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Particle tracking is common in many biophysical, ecological, and micro-fluidic applications. Reliable tracking information is heavily dependent on of the system under study and algorithms that correctly determines particle position between images. However, in a real environmental context with the presence of noise including particular or dissolved ...

The transport and deposition of heavy particles in complex terrain: insights from an Eulerian model for large eddy simulation [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The transport and deposition of heavy particles over complex surface topography by turbulent fluid flow is an important problem in a number of disciplines, including sediment and snow transport, ecology and plant pathology, aeolian processes, and geomorphology.

Individual based model with competition in spatial ecology [PDF]
SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, 2009, 41(1), p. 297--317, 2008 We analyze an interacting particle system with a Markov evolution of birth-and-death type. We have shown that a local competition mechanism (realized via a density dependent mortality) leads to a globally regular behavior of the population in course of the stochastic evolution.

THE ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF FINE PARTICLE SELECTION BY THE STRIPED MULLET MUGIL CEPHALUS1 [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography, 1968 By tracer experiments using 32P and a comparison of sediment and stomach content particle sizes, Mugil cephalus Linnaeus is shown to prefer very fine particles wherever sediments are involved in feeding. It is suggested that these small inorganic and plant detrital sediment particles are much richer both in absorbed organic material and in adsorbed ...
